It certainly wasn't beach and BBQ weather over the bank holiday weekend, with most parts of the country experiencing grey skies and rain over the past few days.
But, according to Met Eireann warm and dry weather is on the way next weekend.
Here's how the forecast is looking:
Friday: Mainly dry with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees with light to moderate west to southwest breezes. Rain and drizzle are likely near west and north coasts towards the end of the day and will affect much of Connacht and Ulster on Friday night
Saturday: Very warm, humid and mainly dry with a fair amount of cloud and some sunny breaks. The best of the sunshine will be in the east and south. Highest temperatures of 19 to 24 degrees, warmest in the midlands and east.
Sunday: A breezy and fresher day with sunny spells and a few showers. Highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees with moderate to fresh westerly breezes.
The rest of the week's forecast isn't looking so good. Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy and quite windy with heavy showers or longer spells of rain throughout the day. Highest temperatures of 16 to 19 degrees with fresh, gusty southwest winds.
Today, it'll be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle and some scattered showers this afternoon. Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees with moderate southwest breezes.
Roll on the weekend!
