Met Eireann is forecasting a big change after a cyclonic storm from the North Atlantic brought hellish conditions this week.
The start of next week will see a sunburst again and a return to relatively normal summer weather with temperatures hitting highs of 16C at times.
Even tomorrow will see a glimpse of sunshine with Saturday starting off dry and sunny at first before being swamped by cloud and scattered showers.
Friday will see the last remnants of the weather brought by the 'cyclonic extratropical' beast with cloud and showery outbreaks of rain heavy in the morning.
Europe Weather had warned that an intense North Atlantic storm would bring unsettled weather with severe windstorms and major waves to Ireland on Thursday.
The weather experts said: "It’s been a while since there was a proper North Atlantic storm on its way towards western Europe.
"This week, a quite impressive development of an extratropical low is expected on Wednesday, drifting into Ireland through Thursday.
"It will bring a rather severe windstorm and major waves along the coastal areas to the south."
