It’s finally time to pack away your winter coats and scarfs as forecasters have predicted the weather will now start getting warmer.

Friday may start with a few patches of rain, but this will clear during the morning and the sky will become dry and brighter throughout the afternoon.

The rest of the weekend should feel like spring, as temperatures are set to reach highs of 15C on Saturday and will be mostly dry with sunny spells.

There may be a few clouds on Sunday but it should still be pleasantly warm.
