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."

Latest on risk of storm as huge uncertainty remains in Irish forecast

There remains a risk of a storm next Tuesday though there is still major uncertainty in the weather forecast, an expert Irish forecaster has revealed. Weather models currently indicate the possibility of a storm potentially affecting some parts of the country after the August Bank Holiday weekend. The storm could be intense for certain areas, however it could equally make little to no impact. Confidence in the forecast will improve as the days go on but the advice is currently to continue monitoring developments in the forecast. Alan O'Reilly, who mans the ever-popular @CarlowWeather account on X, last night delivered the latest update on the potential storm. "A lot of uncertainty still on Monday," he said on X. "That risk of a storm, that's still there, but the latest weather models... it brings it further south. That brings more rain on Monday but it keeps the strongest winds away. "But there's huge uncertainty on where that storm ends up and whether it will be quite intense or nothing really much to worry about. "So any forecast you see for Monday at the moment, they're going to chop and they're going to change. "I know Tinahely show's on, lots of things on Monday but don't worry too much at the moment but just keep up to date because it is going to chop and change a lot." The good news is after the wet and windy weather on Monday and Tuesday, high pressure is expected to become dominant for the rest of next week, which will bring with it more settled conditions. During this period, rain is forecast to be below average across the country and temperatures are set to be slightly above average for this time of year.

Here's what the August Bank Holiday weather has in store

The August Bank Holiday weekend is probably the most highly anticipated weekend of the whole summer where right across Ireland people make plans for 'do something'. But its usually dependant on the weather. Ideas will be had for get-togethers in back gardens all over the country, BBQs will be dusted off, and there won't be a burger bun to be had in the supermarkets, if the warm weather we have all been enjoying so far this summer continues. So what is ahead for the bank holiday, can we throw caution to the wind and invite the family over, or pack up the car and head to the coast? Pic: Getty Images Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather says 'it's still uncertain but it's not looking too bad for Saturday and Sunday, however, bank holiday Monday could be tricky'. 'The bank holiday looks mainly settled with just odd shower but unclear how much sunshine yet'. Pic: Shutterstock Then next week it looks like the weather is set to improve again with high pressure settling over the country, bringing sunshine and warmer temperatures. If you're heading to the Galway Races, bring an umbrella, but also be prepared for warm sunshine, so sunscreen is also a must. Meanwhile, across Europe, temperatures are continuing to soar to record levels, with a recent record-breaking heatwave causing over 2,000 heat related deaths across the continent. The elderly and the very young are most at risk from the extreme heat.

'Worst case scenario' highlighted by weather expert ahead of potential storm

Ireland is facing the prospect of a rare summer storm as an Irish weather expert has identified the risk of heavy winds battering the country next week. Both the Global Forecast System (GFS) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) have highlighted the potential of a low-pressure storm heading towards Ireland early next week. Irish weather expert Alan O'Reilly, who mans the popular @CarlowWeather account on X, is monitoring the weather models and revealed that next Tuesday looks like the most likely day for stormy conditions to arrive but there is good news after that. "When it comes on Tuesday - look at this - very, very strong winds right across the country. Now, it's a week out. It's very uncertain. It's going to chop and change but the GFS and the ECMWF are both showing the risk of a low pressure storm moving towards us on Monday or Tuesday, hopefully Tuesday," he said on social media. "I wouldn't get too worried at the moment but it's certainly something to keep an eye on. "The good news is that once that clears, high pressure looks more likely to move in for next week so it might be a short-term loss in terms of some wind and rain but then high pressure moving in so fingers crossed that we get that high pressure and the low pressure stays to the north." Conditions will remain mixed in the lead-up to the weekend, with national forecaster Met Eireann anticipating a good deal of dry weather and temperatures staying in the high teens. This looks set to turn from Saturday, however, as a band of rain is expected to move over the country on August 2 and it will turn heavy at times before Sunday sees scattered showers as temperatures remain in the mid to high teens. Providing some optimism, Mr O'Reilly added that the ECMWF model identifying next week's storm risk is the "worst case scenario." He added: "Good news is the weather model ensembles show that the ECMWF model with storm next Tuesday is currently worst case scenario so hopefully won't end up that bad."
