Met Eireann has forecast a major change as the heatwave peak and unfortunate end has been pinpointed.
Friday is set to be another very warm and hot day with sunny spells as most of the country stays dry but thunderstorms are likely to break out throughout the country despite the 30C temperature mark.
That symbols the start of the end for the scorchio heat as showers take hold of Ireland according to Met Eireann from Saturday onwards.
The dial will still remain in the mid to high 20s over the weekend with lots of dry weather but Met Eireann add it will be "less warm next week turning showery".
A high temperature weather warning is still in place for the whole country until Saturday morning but an extension is looking unlikely.
Here's how the outlook for the weekend and next week is shaping up:
Tomorrow: "Hazy spells of sunshine on Saturday and holding dry for the day. Highest temperatures of 20 to 22 degrees and feeling a little fresher due to a moderate northeasterly breeze."
Sunday: "Sunny spells with some scattered showers developing in the afternoon. Staying warm with highest temperatures of 22 to 26 degrees, but feeling a little more refreshing in light to moderate northerly breezes."
Monday: "Less humid on Monday. There will be a fair amount of cloud around with the best of the sunshine in the south and southeast. Highest temperatures typically ranging 19 to 23 degrees, warmest in the southeast. Light to moderate northeast breezes."
Further outlook: Rather changeable up to midweek with a mix of showers and dry spells. Temperatures back to more average values for mid-summer.
