Dubliners are being warned to not put away the brollies just yet, with a few blustery days of rain and a washout weekend.
While temperatures remain high, widespread rain is on the way with the possibility of more thunder by the weekend. Met Eireann has forecast "heavy and persistent" showers for Dublin throughout the day on Thursday with a risk of spot flooding in some areas later in the evening.
A freshening southerly wind will bring rain and drizzle today. Highest temperatures of 17 to 19 degrees as southerly winds become fresh to strong.
