A mix of cloud and sunny spells on Sunday with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the north and west in the morning gradually sinking southeastwards through the afternoon and evening, becoming patchier as they do so, and with drier conditions.
Highest temperatures ranging from a cool 16 degrees in the northwest to a warm 25 degrees in the southeast, with a light to moderate west to southwest breeze.
Met Éireann said it will be warm or very warm weather developing widely as Continental air moves in across the country. Dry at first with some showery rain occurring midweek.
Monday will be dry with a mix of cloud and sunshine, warmest across Munster and Leinster. Top temperatures of 17 to 24 degrees in just light westerly breezes.
Tuesday will be warmer with long spells of summer sunshine. Top temperatures of 22 to 26 degrees in just light southeast breezes.
Wednesday will be very warm and humid in a light to moderate southerly breeze.
A mix of cloud and sunshine will occur through the day with some showery outbreaks of rain gradually moving in from the Atlantic. Some east and southeast areas will stay fully dry though.
Top temperatures of 22 to 28 degrees, warmest for Leinster.
Still rather warm for southern and eastern areas during Thursday and Friday, while turning fresher elsewhere. A fair amount of dry weather is expected with just isolated showers.
