We'll take anything!
We haven't had the best start to summer, that's pretty evident with the whole grey sky/cloud and rain thing that's been going on.
But the national forecaster has given us just a little hope that some sun lays on the horizon this week.
After a few showers today and temperatures between 14 and 17 degrees, Met Éireann says we can expect at least a slither of decent weather in the coming days:
"Any scattered showers will die out and Monday night will be dry, with clear intervals. Minimum temperatures 6 to 8 Celsius, in light to moderate northerly breezes'', it said.
"Tuesday will be mainly dry and bright, with a mix of cloud and sunny spells, but a few well scattered showers will develop during the day.
"Temperatures will be close to normal, or a little below, with maximum values of 14 to 18 Celsius." We like the sound of 18.

Later in the week, things sound a little cooler but still not the worst.
Wednesday will be "quite windy, with fresh north to northeast winds, strong on some coasts. Cool in the east and south, with max. temperatures of 12 to 14 Celsius, but milder elsewhere, with values of 13 to 16 Celsius."
As for the rest of the week, and the weekend?
Current indications suggest that the weather will remain relatively cool and unsettled with scattered showers and possibly longer spells of rain at times, but good sunny spells also.
Here's hoping those sunny spells get their act together.
