Met Eireann are predicting that the next couple of days will be hellish with thunder and hail showers set to rock the capital and rest of the country.
There will be a mix of both sunshine and showers today and tomorrow but thunder, hail and heavy rain are also being added into the forecast mix.
The weekend looks set to be a washout too with heavy rain and even possible flooding on the way.
And if that wasn't enough, on top of that a raging storm is set to cause chaos on the weather front for Ireland, weather experts on the continent are warning.
Baptised 'Storm Alex' by the French Met Office, forecasters are saying that Ireland is to be swamped by wet and windy weather along with Britain and France.
Here's how today and the next few days are shaping up in full according to Met Eireann:
Thursday: "Any mist and fog will clear by morning and the day will start dry with sunny spells. Showers will develop from late morning and become frequent in the afternoon. Some of the showers will be heavy with hail and possibly thundery. Cool for the time of year with highs of just 11 or 12 Celsius in light south to southeast or variable breezes."
Thursday night: "Showers will become mainly confined to the east and north with long clear spells developing elsewhere. Lows of 2 to 6 degrees with some grass frost possible. Winds will be light to moderate, northerly in direction."
Friday: "Many places will have a dry and bright day with sunny spells. However, showers will likely affect parts of Leinster, northwest Connacht and west Ulster during the morning, but it should become dry in most areas through the afternoon and evening. Top temperatures of 12 to 14 degrees. Light to moderate northerly winds will be fresh at times in the south, strong and gusty on southern coasts. Largely dry with a mix of cloud and clear spells on Friday night. The odd light shower is possible in western and northern coastal areas. Lows of 4 to 8 degrees. Some patches of mist and fog may form in the light to moderate north to northwest breezes."
Saturday: "Dry and bright in many areas at first with sunny spells, once early mist and fog patches clear but wet and windy weather looks likely to spread from the northeast during the day, although there is still some uncertainty in the exact timing. Cloud will thicken from the northeast and rain will develop in parts of Ulster and Leinster. It will become cloudy further south and west also, with rain arriving there too, possibly overnight. Heavy falls are likely, and there is potential for flooding. Northwesterly winds will be moderate to fresh over land, strong to gale force at the coasts. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees."
Sunday: "Heavy rain looks likely to become increasingly confined to Munster and south Leinster during Sunday, with drier conditions developing further north. It will remain windy with blustery northerly winds. Highs of 10 to 14 degrees."
Early next week: "Current indications suggest a brief window of a drier more settled spell on Monday, but turning more unsettled again from Tuesday onwards."
