Summertime is expected to make a return to Northern Ireland this week.

The Met Office is forecasting a spell of settled weather from around Thursday. "Warmer and drier through the rest of this week with increasing amounts of sunshine."

We could be looking at highs of around 23 degrees.

Don't get your hopes up though, the long range forecast isn't great.

"The dry and warm spell should last through the first part of the Bank Holiday weekend. However, towards the end of the weekend and for the beginning of June conditions are likely to turn more unsettled."

Enjoy it while it lasts.
