July has been pretty grim so far and the poor weather looks set to continue with Met Eireann warning the capital is set to be battered by "unseasonably" winds on Sunday.
The forecaster has also warned that there will be no let up in the changeable weather with "significant uncertainty" in the week ahead.
While there will be some sunny spells today we can also expect blustery showers to go with the strong and gusty westerly winds.
Temperatures will get as high as 15 or 16C this afternoon before dropping to as low as 10 or 11C this evening.
The wind will die down tomorrow although there will still be moderate northwest breezes and highs of 17 or 18C.
Most areas will remain dry on Monday night but there is a chance of a few light showers as the temperatures drop to between 9 and 11C.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, the forecaster say the overall pattern indicates a very changeable few days are in store.
The national forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday reads: "Tuesday: Generally cloudy on Tuesday with outbreaks of rain becoming widespread by the afternoon.
"However it does look like the rain will become patchier by the evening, with parts of north Ulster becoming dry. Highest temperatures 13 to 17 degrees in mainly light southerly breezes.
"Becoming mainly dry on Tuesday night with just some patchy light rain in southern areas.
"Clear spells will develop elsewhere. Lows of 7 to 12 degrees with moderate westerly winds veering northerly and easing.
"Wednesday: Current indications are for a lot of dry weather over Ulster, Connacht and north Leinster with sunny spells. Cloudier further south with outbreaks of rain.
"Highs of 16 to 18 degrees generally, in light variable breezes. Rain continuing in southern counties overnight but dry elsewhere with clear spells. Lows of 7 to 11 degrees in light breezes."
