Time to get that sunscreen out as a mini-heatwave is set to take over Dublin this week.
The capital will see glorious summer weather as mercury is set to hit as high as 21C.
But be warned because the heatwave isn’t here to stay for too long.
Today will be cool and cloudy with patchy rain and drizzle with some sunny spells. Temperatures will range in the highs of 15C to 17C.
Similar conditions will continue into tonight with patches of rain and drizzle, but temperatures will be mild with the lows of 9C to 11C.
Tomorrow will be cloudy again with rain and drizzle with temperatures of 15C to 18C.
Night time temperatures will be 10C to 12C.
Speaking about the national outlook for the week, a Met Eireann spokesperson said: “The weather will be changeable for the rest of the week with a good deal of dry warm weather but early indications are for more unsettled weather with rain chances increasing for the second half of the week.”
