Inishowen sizzles in 25 °C heat 04.05.07

Inishowen was drenched in glorious sunshine yesterday with temperatures topping a scorching 25 °C. These are good days for the peninsula's gardeners, ice cream sellers and sun bathers - not so good for shifting those umbrellas.
	And it's looking bright and sunny - although not as hot - for the May Day Bank Holiday. Today will be bright and sunny after an early mist with the fog burning off in the morning sunshine. According to forecasters, it will be warm inland although a little cooler along the coast. Maximum temperatures today will
be around 20 °C. Meanwhile, Bank Holidaymakers can expect another lovely day on Saturday albeit with a little more cloud. An overnight spell of rain on Sunday will clear in the afternoon to leave sunny spells, showers and fresh south-westerly winds. Monday's outlook is a similar picture.

Meanwhile, a survey released yesterday shows that the early onset of Summer has resulted in soaring sales of flowers, containers and hanging baskets. It also reveals that people are planning to spend some of their SSIA savings on improving the look and layout of their gardens.
