Ireland will bask in sunny skies and a bit of warm weather this week - with Met Eireann's latest forecast have said that a spell of high pressure will be "in charge".
Things got chilly over the weekend, with many people waking up on Monday morning to frost and fog but that is set to change from Monday, with a good stretch of better conditions set to sweep across the country.
The latest update from the boffins at Met Eireann makes for great reading, with those in the south of the country set to feel the benefits first.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Frosty across the country to start on Monday morning with some patchy mist and fog. Frost and any mist and fog will gradually clear through the morning, leaving a dry day with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees generally, but slightly milder in the southwest with highest temperatures of 8 to 10 degrees.
"Tuesday will be generally cloudy with patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle over the western half of the country to start. The rain and drizzle will gradually spread eastwards through the day, easing as it spreads with many eastern areas staying dry. Milder than recently with highest temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees."
The overview from the national forecaster reads: "High pressure will remain in charge of our weather through this week. Though there will be some light rain and drizzle at times, it will be largely dry and settled.
"Any lingering rain will clear on Wednesday morning, leaving a largely dry day with just isolated patches of drizzle. It will be quite cloudy overall but occasional sunny spells will develop, especially in the south and east.
"Thursday will be another largely dry day with sunny spells, though there will be a good deal of cloud in western and northern areas."
And there's even better news when looking at the longer-term forecast, with the high pressure dominating until February 1 at the earliest.
However, there remains a bitter warning for what could follow, with a Met Eireann spokesperson saying that "temperatures will return to average across the country as a cooler damper air mass is introduced. With this airflow hazards may include wintry showers, mostly in the northwest and an increased risk of frost at night."
