The weather will be mixed over the weekend but mostly settled.
Friday night will stay dry under broken cloud.
Saturday will remain dry with warm spells of sunshine, according to Met Éireann, with highest temperatures of 20 degrees.

There will also be a good amount of dry weather on Sunday but it will turn more unsettled on Sunday night and Monday morning, with a spell of wet and unseasonably windy weather in store. The UK Met Office has named the weather system Storm Floris.
What do we know about Storm Floris?
On Friday afternoon, Met Éireann issued a weather advisory ahead of Storm Floris, which it says will bring 'unseasonably impactful weather' from Sunday night into Monday.
The forecaster described the storm as a 'deepening low-pressure system' likely to track to the northwest, bringing a spell of 'heavy rain and very strong winds.'
The storm is expected to cause:
Dangerous travel conditions
Fallen trees, debris, and loose objects
Structural damage
Knock-on impacts for outdoor events
Power outages
Wave overtopping
Localised flooding due to leaves and debris
Co Waterford may escape the worst of the storm, though Met Éireann said additional updates would be issued on Saturday.
Forecaster Andrew Doran-Sherlock noted that the full impacts of Storm Floris cannot yet be fully determined.
"By Saturday though, the event will be within the range of our high-resolution DINI forecasting model and warnings will be issued," he said.
"As this is a public holiday weekend with a large number of outdoor events and with many people going camping, etc, and with an increased usage of temporary structures such as tents, more people will be at a greater risk of exposure than would normally be the case."
Mr Doran-Sherlock added that while neap tides will bring the lowest tidal ranges of the cycle on Sunday and Monday, strong onshore winds and high waves may cause wave overtopping in low-lying coastal areas of the northwest and west.
"Our advice would be to pay attention to the weather forecasts and warnings issued over the weekend and take them into consideration with any plans you have. And as always, please heed the advice of local authorities," he added.

Rollercoaster chaser could still set record despite Storm Floris setback
Dean Stokes, 36, originally organised a trip to go on 120 rollercoasters in 32 theme parks in 16 days across the UK, travelling alongside his friend and former colleague Simon Fasolo, 44. Mr Stokes, from Brighton, East Sussex, worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education believes people should be encouraged to do what they love and has taken time away from work to complete and document the challenge on social media. Dean Stokes with his wife Caroline (Dean Stokes/PA) But he has since run into problems, with Storm Floris closing several theme parks less than a third of the way into his journey. Despite the route not going to plan, Mr Stokes has been contacted by Guinness World Records, who say it could still be possible to set a new record. He said: 'We were scuppered by Storm Floris, as two of the parks we visited did not have coasters operating because of wind and rain. 'The day I was in north Devon, we were meant to get on eight rollercoasters, but I only managed one. 'Most of the rides were shut down for safety reasons, which is understandable but it was really frustrating when we got there. 'I originally didn't reach out to the Guinness World Records because I just hadn't had the time in planning all the trip and I'm not really doing this to break a record, I'm doing it for fun. 'But two days ago, they emailed me asking if I'm interested in it, and I said yes – I would love to hang a world record at my office and have it in the background of my video calls. 'So, despite Storm Floris setting us back on the original plan, we could still break a record. We're just working out what the details are. It may be something like most rollercoasters ridden in a week – I'm trying to work with them to figure out what's a good record that we can set.' Mr Stokes says he has been overwhelmed by the support both on social media and in person at the theme parks. He and Mr Fasolo have been recognised by several fellow thrill-seekers and ride operators. Mr Stokes even had a follower join him for the first ride, the Pinball X at Flamingo Park in Hastings, East Sussex. He said: 'Before Storm Floris, it was going really well. Someone was even there to meet me in Hastings – a kid called Jack and his family. 'I was so surprised when I turned up and there was someone there – he said 'I'm here to ride this with you'. 'Jack said they were planning on going to a different theme park but decided to come to Hastings to join me, which was lovely. 'One of the ride operators recognised me from the videos on social media as well, which has all been so surprising but really amazing. 'I've been going live on TikTok, so when I drive quite I'm often doing quick livestreams talking to people that are joining on there. 'We're starting to build a bit of a crowd for Thorpe Park, which would be the last park of the trip – I think we're going to get a little bit of a group together to ride my last ride together which is fun.' Mr Stokes maintains that it is important to encourage people to follow their passion and not to worry about what others think when pursuing something they enjoy. He said: 'The big reason that I'm doing it is that I really think that people should just get out there and do more of what they love. 'We spend too much time these days feeling embarrassed about things that we want to do, or not pushing ourselves to do something because we're worried about whatever people might think. 'In fact, being confident to go out and do what you want is super important.' A spokesperson for Guinness World Records said they 'would like to wish Dean the best of luck in his exciting rollercoaster record attempt and look forward to receiving his application and evidence'. There is no current record-holder for the most rollercoasters ridden in a week, and Mr Stokes has been set a target of 30 to claim the inaugural title. For the purposes of his attempt, a rollercoaster is defined as a ride which features a car or cars which run along a fixed 'linear' track or rails. This includes so-called 'kiddie coasters', but excludes theme park trains and 'wet' rides, such as log flumes.

The Gallagher brothers continue to blow away the Oasis fans with their live shows and now it is the turn of Edinburgh to come on feel the noise Oasis are set to storm Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on Friday 8th, Saturday 9th, and Tuesday 12th August 2025 — and fans have now been issued with a no‑nonsense guide to entry times, bag rules and what's banned from the gig. The entry points are also specifically colour coded. The gig follows huge success for the band in Cardiff, Manchester and London with all the shows being a massive success, although very sadly one fan did die whilst watching them at Wembley last weekend. Liam Gallagher then dedicated Live Forever on Sunday to "all the people who can't be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean". Here is everything you need to know if you are heading to Murrayfield this week: Timings and Entry Rules Ticketmaster has confirmed that stadium gates open at 5pm each night, with a strict curfew at 10:30pm .

Oasis are then likely to take to the stage at 8.15pm and play for around two hour. The set list has remained unchanged so far on the Oasis Live 25 tour although guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs has been joking with the Gallaghers that he wants to sing Bonehead's Bank Holiday. Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.

There are four different colour coded entrances which will determine which side of the stadium you enter - Purple, blue, orange and green. Check you tickets for more details. Stewards around the ground in blue coat will also be able to help. Why is Scotland so important to Oasis? The band's luck and the history of music changed thanks to one night in Glasgow at King Tut's on May 31, 1993. Creation Records boss Alan McGee had arranged to meet his sister there for birthday drinks and two of the bands he had recently signed were playing - 18 Wheeler and Boyfriend, as well as a band called Sister Lovers. But unbeknown to him, Sister Lovers had invited their friends from Manchester to come along, telling Oasis they could get a spot on the line up too. The band had to beg and demand to get on and after a bit of back and forth, were allowed to play a handful of songs if they went on first to play for a tiny crowd. Thankfully McGee had arrived too early so was already there knocking back drinks. McGee writes in his book How To Run An Indie Label: 'They played Rock'n'Roll star and it sounded great. I was really surprised and thought 'who the f**k this?'. I was thinking the next song will be rubbish but it was Bring It On Down and that was great as well. Then it was Up In The Sky and I was already signing them in my head.' McGee's sister was also a fan after the trio of songs, and the band then finished with The Beatles I Am The Walrus which was 'fantastic' and McGee approached the band's sound guy Mark Coyle for an introduction to the band's leader which was Noel. In the documentary Supersonic, Noel explains: 'I'm up by the mixing desk with Coyley, Alan McGee walks up and says 'what's your band called' and I said 'Oasis' and these were his exact words he said 'do you want a record deal?'. 'We kind of went back that night, I don't remember anybody high-fiving in the back of the van thinking 'this is it'. I don't remember us being nonchalant about it either. We were going back to Manchester and getting into where I was living at 6'o'clock in the morning.' McGee signed them up after Noel, Liam and Bonehead took a train from Manchester to London and met with the Creation team. The band signed to Creation and the label pushed out a white label record of Columbia to 500 radio stations and music writers to start to create a buzz after it was played on Radio 1.
