Yay Cork

Summer dressing doesn't need to involve trekking around half the city in search of the perfect outfit. Whether you're updating your holiday wardrobe, looking for smart-casual pieces for sunny weekends, or simply in need of a few warm-weather essentials for the office, you can tick everything off your list on one Cork street. Opera Lane has become a go-to destination for menswear, with a mix of high-street favourites and stylish staples all within a few minutes' walk of each other.

There's a fresh splash of colour in Cork City this week as Madrí Excepcional unveils a vibrant new mural at Kino on Washington Street, bringing a taste of Madrid's energy, creativity and street culture right into the heart of town. The striking artwork is part of Madrí Excepcional's Soul of Madrid campaign, which is bringing bold street art, live experiences and a little slice of the Spanish capital to cities across Ireland this summer.

But it looks like we're finally getting a blast of summer weather this weekend, even though it'll barely stick around long enough to clean the barbecue. After a damp and dreary start to Friday, conditions are expected to improve throughout the day with sunny spells developing and temperatures reaching up to 19°C. The real winner, though, is Saturday.
