Met Éireann is predicting a glorious upturn in fortunes on the weather front over the next few days with temperatures to climb to 18C in places.
After a wet and windy week that resulted in numerous weather warnings, the weather looks set to turn and stay dry for most of next week with warm spells for many.
Although there will be patchy rain around on Saturday and Sunday, Met Éireann's general outlook says it is "becoming drier and milder as high pressure is set to dominate our weather."
