It will feel like summer again this week as temperatures across Ireland jump back into the twenties.
Met Eireann are forecasting the better conditions to be accompanied by cloud and the occasional shower which will dampen spirits in some parts.
But it will be a notable improvement on the dull and gloomy conditions the country has seen in recent months.
Here's a look at Met Eireann's five day forecast for the entire country with Wednesday and Friday looking like the best days to get out and about.
