A warm and dry weekend is in store with temperatures set to hit highs of 20C.
And next week looks like it will be the warmest of the summer so far with temperatures hitting 24C.
However, it's not all good news as some parts of the country will be hit by scattered showers on both Saturday and Sunday.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Apart from a few isolated showers, Friday will be a dry day with long spells of sunshine.
"Highest temperatures of 15C to 18C in light variable breezes.
"Dry for much of Saturday, more unsettled from Sunday onwards and becoming warm and humid next week.
"Largely dry Friday night. Lows of 9C to 12C in moderate southerly breezes.
"It looks set to be mostly dry on Saturday, with spells of hazy sunshine.
"Highest temperatures of 17C to 20C in moderate southeast winds.
"Showery rain will develop on the southwest coast on Saturday night. Lowest temperatures 11C to 14C."
The warm weather will continue on Sunday, but it will turn wetter in more areas
A forecaster added: "On Sunday the rain in the southwest will gradually spread to other parts. The best of any dry, bright weather is likely in the north and east of the country in the first half of the day.
"Highest temperatures of 16C to 20C, in moderate easterly winds.
"Widespread rain or showers for Sunday night, with a chance of a few thunderstorms."
And next week will remain much the same with temperatures rising even further, but there will also be a chance of some "thundery showers".
Met Eireann revealed: "The latest indications are for warm and humid, but unsettled weather for the first few days of next week with occasional heavy or thundery showers.
"Temperatures will be between 18C and 24C each day and it will feel close at night."
