Cabin fever setting in? Fear not; the persistent showers and grey clouds will make way for a little August sunshine later this week.
According to
Met Eireann, the rain will continue to develop in Munster today and will make its way through the rest of the country turning persistent and heavy at times with highs of 17 to 19 C expected.
Then tonight there will be more rain, sometimes heavy, but will become drier over Atlantic coastal counties later on.
Tuesday will have spells of rain in the East which could move into the west at times. However, Met Eireann says that chances of some areas staying dry are high including much of Connacht, western parts of Ulster and northwestern parts of Munster.
Then comes the good news for Wednesday and Thursday with Met Eireann reporting mainly dry weather:
"Wednesday will be mainly dry countrywide with sunny spells. There may be just one or two light showers in Atlantic coastal counties. It will be rather warm with highest temperatures of 17 to 20 degrees and light southerly breezes, the breeze a little fresher along the coast.
Thursday will start off mainly dry with sunny spells. However, rain will spread into Western parts during the day reaching the East in the evening or after dark. Highest temperatures of 18 to 21 degrees in moderate Southerly breezes."
Friday is looking to be alright for now with a mixture of sunshine and some showers.
Time to plan a last jaunt to the beach before back-to-school time!
