Met Eireann has pinpointed when the sun will return this week but it's only to be followed by 'storm'-like conditions with more warnings feared over the coming days.
Tuesday will be a rather cloudy and humid day today with light rain and drizzle at times as the 20C mark drops to around 11C overnight with more cloud and miserable conditions predicted.
It will become warmer into the weekend with the dial pushing over the 20C mark seeing a brief return to pre-August temperatures.
But this will be met by thunderstorms on Sunday which will end the week on a dampener before another better start to the end of August.
Here's how the next few days are looking according to Met Eireann:
Tomorrow: "Wednesday will be another largely cloudy day with patchy drizzle at times. Cool, with highest temperatures of just 16 or 17 degrees in light to moderate westerly breezes."
Thursday: "A largely cloudy day though there will be occasional sunny spells. Light outbreaks of rain will gradually clear through the day though some patches of drizzle will linger. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees in mainly light variable breezes."
Friday: "A wet day with outbreaks of rain extending to all areas by the afternoon, turning heavy at times, especially in the south and west. Highest temperatures of 18 to 21 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly winds, turning fresher on exposed coasts."
Saturday: "Showers with longer spells of rain will feed up from the south through the day, turning heavy in places. Highest temperatures of 17 to 21 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly winds."
Sunday: "Showers or longer spells of rain will continue through the day, heavy at times with the risk of isolated thunderstorms. Highest temperatures of 18 to 20 degrees in light northeasterly or variable breezes."
Early next week: "Becoming more settled into next week with a good deal of dry weather. Temperatures will pick up with highs widely in the low twenties."
