Temperatures could reach as high as 24C in Ireland next week as warm weather returns, but it's not all good news.
The humid air is to be accompanied by lots of cloud and potentially heavy rain at times, especially across the bank holiday weekend.
Next Tuesday is forecast as being 24C in certain parts of Ireland as it stands according to Met Eireann, but it won't reach those heights in the coming days.

A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Saturday will be rather cloudy with occasional rain or showers, along with some low cloud and mist along some Atlantic coasts. Longer drier spells will occur too though with some warm sunshine possibly breaking through away from Atlantic counties. Highest temperatures of 17 to 21 degrees, warmest in the southeast and east, in a mostly moderate southwest breeze.
"Mostly dull to begin with lingering outbreaks of rain, heaviest in the south. Sunny spells will likely develop with just well-scattered showers following by the afternoon. There is a chance however that more rain will develop over the southern half of the country during the day. Highest temperatures will range from 17 to 23 degrees, warmest in southern counties in light northwest or variable winds.
"Current indications are that Monday will be mostly dull with outbreaks of rain moving up across the country, turning heaviest in the afternoon and evening, with hill, mist and coastal fog too. Highest temperatures will range 17 to 22 or 23 degrees, in light to moderate southwest breezes."
And then it'll pick up even more on Tuesday with some areas in for a very nice day, the forecaster added: "Blustery outbreaks of showery rain but with some warm sunny spells too. Highest temperatures of 18 to 24 degrees in brisk southwest winds."
