After several days of pounding rain, things are expected to finally start looking up soon according to a weather forecaster.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather revealed that the latest models show high pressure may return next week with some glorious dry conditions. He said on Twitter: "First sign of hope on weather models?
"It’s a long way off but the latest ECMWF shows a chance of high pressure returning from around the 21st. A long way off so very uncertain but if you needed some hope then here it is."
Today Dubliners will wake up to isolated showers of rain or drizzle but the weather will improve later in the day with sunny spells. The highest temperatures will be around 18 or 19 degrees.
