Brighter days and higher temperatures are ahead for Dublin in the coming days as the rain passes us by and Spring-like weather settles in.
It's going to be a dry start to Friday, and we can expect some sunny spells although clouds and a few showers may also be on the way.
Met Eireann says the week is set to end on a slightly warmer note, with temperatures of 11C before they reach 12C on Saturday on what should be a pleasant day.
The night time will still be quite chilly, with temperatures hitting -1C on Sunday night so if you're an early riser, make sure to keep warm until conditions brighten.
Met Eireann says: "Dry this morning with sunny spells developing and just one or two light isolated showers. Becoming a little cloudier during the afternoon with further passing showers mixed with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 8 or 9 degrees with a moderate westerly breeze.
"Dry and mainly clear tonight with a slight frost possible. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 3 degrees with light to moderate southwest breezes."
Here's what to expect:
