Ireland may be in for a biblical bout of rain this Bank Holiday weekend, but there is good news coming in the aftermath.
Temperatures could soar over the next ten days or so, with the dull, grey, rainy conditions we've seen on Saturday set to be blown away by sunshine, clear skies and a warm spell.
That means that even though the immediate outlook isn't too good, we just have to be a bit patient.
Met Eireann have already given a bit of a grim warning for one county - but that warning came alongside a positive note from another weather expert.
An 'Azores High' is on track to make its way to Ireland in the next ten days - and the national forecaster's latest outlook for next week makes for fine reading for Irish people.
The current prediction reads: "Current indications suggest high pressure will keep our weather fairly settled towards the end of the week with just some coastal showers at times. Quite pleasant too with sunny spells and highs in the mid to high teens, while the winds remain mostly light."
Sunday will be "mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain, along with some heavier, showery bursts at times in the east during the afternoon. Gradually turning drier and brighter from the north by evening with a chance of some late sunny spells in the north and northeast. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees, in light variable breezes." according to the boffins.
"Bank-holiday Monday will start fairly cloudy in the morning with patchy outbreaks of rain. Some scattered showers will develop throughout the afternoon, breaking up the cloud and allowing some bright or sunny intervals to develop by evening. Highs of 13 to 17 degrees, in light northerly breezes." they conclude.
