Ireland is set to bask in the sunshine for the beginning of this week as temperatures climb as high as 19 degrees over the coming days.
However, the usually sunny weather will be short-lived as the Met Eireann confirmed that rain would return on Wednesday.
Thankfully the damp conditions won’t be sticking around for too long as sunshine is set to return once again on Friday.
