If you're heading out and about this weekend, you'll want to know what the weather has in store over the coming days for Northern Ireland.
After several days of thundery downpours, the Met Office says the weather will finally settle down for a couple of days.
And the good news is that you'll be able to break out the barbeques and slap on the sun cream on Saturday as inland highs of 22°C are forecast before conditions turn cooler again on Sunday.

There's plenty of sun forecast for Saturday - good news for those planning a trip to the final day of this year's Balmoral Show or the North West 200.
And for those heading to Sunday's Ulster SFC final clash between Armagh and Derry at Clones, it looks like the rain will clear by throw in time.
Here's what to expect over the next few days, according to the Met Office.
Friday:
A mainly cloudy start with low cloud and patchy drizzle, thickest in north and east, but gradually lifting and easing back to the coast in the morning, then some warm sunshine will follow in the afternoon. Maximum temperature 18 °C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Early low cloud on Saturday then it will be warm and sunny. Freshening southwest winds to come on Sunday, bringing cloud and rain in from the west, but turning drier and brighter later.
Bright spells to come on Monday with some showers in the north.
UK long range weather forecast - Monday 15 May - Wednesday 24 May
A band of rain will erratically move east across most parts of the UK early next week, but will possibly largely fizzle out before reaching southeast England. At the same time, a ridge of high pressure will likely build to the west of the UK, before toppling across many areas over the following few days.
Pressure will probably remain relatively high across southern and central parts of the UK, bringing some sunny spells throughout the remainder of the period, although a few showers are also possible, and the potential for quite a keen breeze, at least for a time, in the southeast.
Further north and west, there is a greater chance of occasional rain. Temperatures will be generally near average and feeling warm in the best of the sunshine.
