Weather bosses predicted: "Mostly moderate southwest to west winds, fresh for a time in western coastal parts, decreasing light to moderate later."
Tuesday night will be mostly dry but cloudy, with mist expected on southern coasts.
CHANCE OF THUNDER
According to Met Eireann: "A mild and humid night, especially in the south, with lowest temperatures of 11C in the northwest to 15C in the south in light southwest or variable breezes."
Wednesday will continue the trend of changeable weather as sunny spells and cloud have been forecast.
The morning and afternoon are expected to be dry while in the evening a band of rain will move in from the west coast.
Temperatures will be between 17C and 22C.
Met Eireann said: "A spell of rain will spread from the west during the evening, becoming heavy at times with the chance of thunder.
BREEZY DAY
"There'll be some hill and coastal mist and fog too especially further south."
Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a few showers here and there, with temperatures between 9C and 13C.
Thursday will be a breezy day with both sunshine and showers in the morning.
Weather experts predicted: "It'll become cloudier through the afternoon, with more in the way of showers around, especially in the west and north, while a spell of more persistent rain is likely to spread eastwards later on."
Temperatures will sit between 15C and 19C.
RETURN OF SUMMER
Friday will see similar weather with cloud, rain, and drizzle predicted throughout the afternoon.
Rain will be heaviest in the west and north while the east and south will see drier, brighter conditions.
But temperatures could climb as high as 23C.
And next weekend the unpredictable weather will continue with both rain and sunny spells on the cards.
Kenneth McDonagh from Donegal Weather Channel has pinpointed exactly when warmer and sunnier conditions could make a return.
He said: "The next week is looking fairly unsettled with heavy rainfall at times over the week with the month due to end and early July looking like it will start unsettled.
"The next real signs of change again will come into the 2nd week of July when higher pressure potential will try to build again and could bring warmer weather again."
