One of Ireland's most famous amateur weather forecasters believes we've a stunning summer ahead.
Michael Gallagher, who is famous for his accurate long-range weather predictions, thinks we will see some bad conditions at times, but that it will be 'lovely' for the most part.
Speaking about the months ahead, the Donegal postman, who is well known for forecasting the weather by observing nature, said: "We will have a lovely summer.
"There will be some thunder and showers on and off, but overall it will be lovely."
The former postman, who retired from An Post after delivering mail in the Bluestack Mountains for 48 years, learned about traditional methods of predicting the weather from the older generation.
"I like to keep the old traditions alive," he told RSVP Live.
"The older generation would always use these methods, they relied on them."
He added that an east wind is currently blowing over Ireland, which is traditionally seen as an "unhealthy wind."
"The older folk used to say that an east wind is an unhealthy wind, it brings flus," he said.
Michael has been eerily accurate with some of his weather predictions in the past - forecasting the big freeze of 2010 as well as the scorching summer of 2018.
And there seems to be good news ahead, with his prediction looking very promising.
Meanwhile, Tuesday's weather will be a bright and mostly dry day with sunny spells but chances of scattered showers developing.
Temperatures of 12C will dip to 3C overnight with cloud increasing until the morning.
But the summer weather is looking increasingly likely to improve in the coming months.
