There will be three back-to-back days of glorious sunshine say Met Eireann as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday see the mercury rise to 20C.
But following the triple threat, the mini burst of temperatures will be hit by a severe outbreak of rain on Thursday night which carries into Friday.
After a cloudy and misty start today, it'll brighten up as the day goes on with improving sunny spells developing.
Afternoon temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees will fall to no lower than 9C remaining largely dry and clear overnight.
Here's the outlook for the rest of the week:
Wednesday : "It will be mainly dry once again with good sunshine expected. Temperatures between 17 and 20 degrees, the best where the sun shines longest and several degrees cooler at the coast. Winds will be moderate to fresh southerly in direction, veering west and decreasing later."
Thursday: "It will be dry with sunny spells for much of the day. Light easterly winds will increase during the day, becoming fresh to strong by Thursday night. The freshening winds will bring thickening cloud in to western areas, with rain in the southwest on Thursday night. Temperatures on Thursday are expected to reach 20 degrees, once again cooler on southern and eastern coasts."
Friday : "It will be a windy day with overnight rain clearing early Friday morning to sunshine and showers. The showers will be most frequent over the western half of the country with the southeast becoming largely dry. Temperatures on Friday will be a few degrees cooler between 13 and 16 degrees west to east. The showers will mostly die out on Friday night."
Currently the further outlook for the rest of the weekend and for the early days of next week is for pressure to build from the south once again with rising temperatures returning in mainly dry weather.
The National Forecaster has also issued a yellow environmental warning too for blight.
They say: "Weather conditions conducive to the spread of potato blight will occur at times across Ireland from Monday to Wednesday inclusive.
They added: "Opportunities for spraying will be limited in the northwest, but good elsewhere."
