There's nothing like a nice autumn dayTemperatures could reach as high as 18C by the weekend
After what seems like endless talk of storms and unsettled weather, Met Éireann says we finally have some respite to look forward to - at least in the short term.
Outbreaks of rain and drizzle are set to continue early this week but a mostly dry weekend can be expected, the national forecaster said.
However things will get a little chilly after the sun goes down, with temperatures as low as 1C expected during the week.
But on the flip side, highs of up to 17 degrees can also be expected during daylight hours mid-week.
"It's not bad at all for the week ahead," a Met Éireann forecaster said.
"Good sunshine will develop through the day for most parts of the country. Temperatures will be very similar to yesterday. What made yesterday very good was the breeze was very light and it will be very light again today.
"It will be another nice October day."
The pleasant Autumn weather should continue on Tuesday with temperatures ranging between 14 and 17C.
Conditions are set to pick up from Wednesday onward, with a few showers in the morning but mainly dry and bright for the day. There will be highs of 11 and 12C during the day with some light breezes, but a cold night is expected.
"A clear and rather cold overnight with lows of 1 to 3 degrees and a fairly widespread grass frost, with fog forming around dawn," the national forecaster said.
Thursday and Friday will average around 12C remaining mostly dry with good sunshine, with the weekend set to see little rain and temperatures reaching up to 18C on Saturday.
Better than hearing about impending storms!
