Respected weather page MetAlert Ireland have raised hopes that another Indian summer is about to hit our shores.
The independent, amateur-based weather service is even tipping temperatures to soar right back into the mid twenties as early as next weekend.
The independent, amateur-based weather service, who are regular contributors to RTE and East Coast FM, said that latest weather simulations suggest we're in for a very warm September.
They say all the weather models point to temperatures ranging from 17 to 20C later this week before the mercury climbs right into the mid twenties from mid month.
Met Alerts Ireland posted weather model image from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), adding the headline 'DRIER & WARMER OUTLOOK.....€INIDAN SUMMER??'
The post continues: "Leading model output continues to increase confidence in high pressure and settled conditions lingering near Ireland over the time period of next weekend through the following week (Approx timeline of 14th of Sept through 20th of September).
"Temps ranging from17C 20C later this week and next weekend with temps increasing to 23C or even 24C by the following week starting mid month or so.
"How long this dry, warm and mostly sunny spell will last is currently 5 to 7 days?
CONFIDENCE: 60% (Moderate). IMAGE: ECMWF."
Before that however, we can expect a fresh Monday morning, with showers expected as the day wears on. And with Met Eireann warning of plenty of rain for the coming days.
Roll on next weekend so!
