A major change is on the way after Dublin basked in glorious spring sunshine and mild weather in the last few days.
However, if the sunny spells inspired you to get your garden furniture out then you might want to hold off for a bit, an independent weather forecaster said. Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather warned: "The weather models are showing a late blast of cold Northerly air heading our way from Sunday for a few days!"
Met Eireann warned that high pressure will come to an end as unsettled weather will dominate by the weekend. The national forecaster said: "High pressure largely dominating through the rest of the working week bringing generally dry and settled conditions. Becoming more unsettled by the weekend."

Tonight will be dry and mostly clear but cloud will increase at dawn. The minimum temperatures will be 5 to 7 degrees.
