Ireland will experience temperatures to match the South of France next week.
High pressure from the Azores is set to move in over the coming days.
So temperatures will be hitting the mid 20s by Tuesday.
Thousands are expected to flock to beaches and waterways to cool down at what will be the middle of the staycation season.
Tuesday's The Start Of The Sunny Weather
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather expects the fine conditions to continue all the way to next weekend.
"The Azores high is going to slowly move up over Ireland through the next week."
"It's bringing some fine settled weather."
"So it also looks as though it's bringing some warmer air up towards the end of the week."
"We're looking at a fine settled spell of weather from really Tuesday onwards."
"While there might be the odd shower earlier in the week."
"However by later in the week we're looking at some fine settled weather."
