MET Eireann reckon it’s set to get “very warm” next week with temperatures hitting 25C.
Forecasters said a “good deal of dry weather” is on the cards for the coming days.
Mercury will hit 23C in parts of the country tomorrow but the best of the weather will land later in the week.
Met Eireann said: “A dry day tomorrow with spells of sunshine, though it will be cloudier in north Connacht and Ulster with isolated showers.
“Highest temperatures of 14C in the northwest to 23C in the southeast in moderate northwest winds.
” Becoming cloudier overnight, though clear spells will persist in Leinster and east Ulster.
“Dry for most with well scattered light showers. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 13C in light to moderate northwest winds.”
There will be some “scattered patches of light rain” on Tuesday.
They added: ” Largely cloudy with scattered patches of light rain and drizzle spreading over the western half of the country. Remaining dry further east.
“Highest temperatures of 17 to 22C in light to moderate west to northwest winds.
“A good deal of cloud overnight but mostly dry apart from lingering spots of drizzle in parts of the west and north.
“Mild with lowest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in light westerly winds.”
And a similar picture is on the cards for Wednesday before temperatures hit 25C in parts of the country on Thursday.
A forecaster added: “A dry day for most with sunny spells, though well scattered showers will develop through the day.
“Very warm with highest temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees in a light southwest or variable breeze.
“Remaining dry at first on Friday but becoming more unsettled for the weekend with outbreaks of rain spreading from the Atlantic and possibly blustery conditions at times.”
Carlow Weather’s Alan O’Reilly also took to social media to update his followers on the week ahead this morning.
He said: “The good news is things are looking up for next week.
“Now it’s not going to be an amazing week but it is going to get better and better.
“As we go through Wednesday, Thursday and Friday it will start to get warmer and the high pressure might just hold that weak Atlantic front out there.
“So that rain and wind might stay out west in the Atlantic on Friday and for the weekend.”
