Met Éireann has predicted rain every day this week, including the weekend, in a u-turn from the largely dry forecast earlier in the week.
Thousands of Irish people had been hoping for BBQ weather this weekend and while there will be long dry and sunny periods, Met Éireann is warning of drizzle and rain at times.
The weather has been largely dry for the last seven days but more rain is creeping into the forecast with the weekend possibly more cloudy and wet than first thought.
