While Ireland basked in golden sunshine over the Bank Holiday Weekend, Met Eireann has warned of a big change coming our way.
Temperatures are set to nosedive by 10C and thundery showers are in store this week.
But don’t worry, we have a day or two good weather so you still have time to make the most of it.
Monday
Monday will be warm and dry with good sunny spells.
There may be some mist towards the southeast, south and southwest coasts and a risk of an isolated shower in the south and east.
Temperatures will hit the highs of 21C in most areas of the country except for the south and southwest coast where top temperatures will be between 16C to 17C.
Monday night will start off dry with some scattered showers in the south and east which will spread northwards later in the night.
Lowest temperatures will be 6C to 10C.
Tuesday
Tuesday will see isolated showers with some sunny spells.
Temperatures will stay on the warm side ranging between 17C to 21C.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: “A warm, humid and misty night follows on Tuesday night with showery outbreaks of rain moving up over the country from the southeast. Minima of 8C to 11C in mainly light east to southeast breezes.”
Wednesday
Things will start to change on Wednesday which will see a showery start with outbreaks of rain over most of the country.
“There is the potential for some heavy and thundery showers to develop later in the afternoon and evening.

“Highest temperatures of 13C to 17C, locally up to 18C or 19C in north Ulster, will occur early on in the day, with temperatures turning progressively cooler through the afternoon, dropping back to between 9C and 12C.”
Wednesday night will see heavy and possibly thundery showers with the lows of 6C to 9C.
Thursday
“Showers or longer spells of rain with some heavy and thundery falls. Variable cloud amounts with sunny spells.
“Maximum temperatures closer to the seasonal average at 11C to 15C in moderate to fresh and gusty southeasterly winds, which will be occasionally strong near the south coast.”
Friday and weekend
“Low pressure will continue to dominate our weather through Friday and the weekend, with wet and windy weather at times, but some drier and brighter interludes too.
“Maximum temperatures trending near to slightly below average for the time of year with maximum temperatures ranging from around 9C to 13C.”
