Met Éireann has pinpointed a potential day of sunny spells and warm temperatures that could tempt people to break out their barbecues for the first time this year.
The national forecaster's outlook for the remainder of the week cuts a less than appealing outlook, with showers expected each day except for one between this week and next week.
"On Tuesday, showers will spread eastwards and become widespread, some heavy and thundery in the afternoon," the forecast for the week stated.
