The clocks went forward by one hour at 1am this morning, and that means Irish Summer Time is in full effect.

That means many of us have had less time in bed.

But the good news is we can look forward to a "grand stretch" in the evenings.

Met Eireann forecasts sunshine across Ireland today, and mostly clear skies this evening.

A moment by the sea...these blue skies with lapping waters and a little heat from the sun are magical & more on the way #springforward pic.twitter.com/EoXUTGayYa
