The sun is out and Kilkenny is hotter than Turkey right now

Kilkenny is getting an early blast of summer this weekend, with the current sunshine and warm weather set to last until the beginning of next week.

At the moment, the temperature here (14.5°) is higher than in Istanbul, Turkey (9°).

It’s due to get even better tomorrow – up to as high as 17° with long spells of sunshine. It will be dry overnight both nights, with clear skies.

There will be some light winds on Sunday, but it is expected to stay dry, with temperatures of around 13°.
