Ah yes, the joys of yet another Bank Holiday under strict lockdown - you just know we're in for some serious sunshine.
If we were free to roam around this weekend, you could guarantee that a storm Darragh would already be raging its way through Dublin hitting the country with large balls of thundersnow.
Then again, if my auntie had wheels, she'd be a Toyota Corolla.
But sure look, you still have your back garden to strip down and get your tan on and if you're going to get that real-life Sally Hansen look any time soon, it's going to be over the next five days.
Met Eireann has forecast a five-day heatwave where temperatures float around the mid to low 20C mark from Friday right through to Tuesday with not one bit of rain insight.
Today will kick off dry and sunny with temperatures of 23C becoming slightly cooler near the coast and dropping to 9C with long clear spells.
Here's how the rest of the Bank Holiday and beyond is looking:
Saturday : "It will begin dry and sunny but the sunshine will become hazier at times during the day in light to moderate southeasterly breezes. Warm with highest afternoon temperatures of 20 to 23 degrees, cooler along the coast due to the onshore breeze."
Summary : "Warm and mostly dry weather through the Bank Holiday weekend and current indications are that it will continue for early next week before turning cooler and less settled."
