Met Eireann has forecast a glorious week of sunshine and high temperatures that will last through next week.
However, this morning there is heavy fog in places which is expected to clear as the day progresses. The fog will make way for a warm day with temperatures as high as 18c in the capital.
Weather expert Alan O'Reilly said temperatures could hit highs of 21c today as the fog clears. It is definitely time to stock up on the sun screen.
