The country may have been basking in a drop of rain over the past few days but that dreaded sunshine looks set to return by the middle of the week.

Met Éireann has predicted mainly dry, warm conditions with some light showers for the week with top temperatures reaching highs of 23°C and lows of 14°C.

Come on - you didn’t think this warm, sunny weather would last too long did you?

“Ireland’s brilliant if you like the rain and the cold.”
