Dublin is set for a week of sizzling temperatures as the mercury hits the 20C mark but it's not all good news with plenty of showers forecast.
Met Eireann say we're in for a mix of clouds and sunny spells today with a moderate southerly breeze this afternoon.
Tonight will be mostly dry but there's a chance of rain developing early tomorrow morning.
It's more of the same tomorrow with temperatures getting as high as 20C.
It will be very humid and there's a chance of some rain in the afternoon.
The national outlook for the rest of the week and heading into the weekend is much the same - it will be very warm but bring your brolly if you're heading out because there's a good chance of rainy spells.
