Despite the majority of the most recent weekend being rain-swept and a bit of a washout, conditions are set to drastically improve over the coming days.
That's because Met Eireann has forecast that temperatures will fluctuate from 21 to 25 degrees next week with sunshine and above normal temperatures on the way.
In terms of the best day, Wednesday and Thursday are shaping up to be very good with long spells of sunshine and the mercury reaching highs of 25 degrees in parts of the country.
Unfortunately, the temperature won't be as high on Friday with 17 to 22 degrees expected, but early indications suggest that the settled and sunny spell will continue into the weekend, with mostly dry weather expected.
On that note, here's how the next few days are shaping up...
