Hope!
Remember 2018? We actually had so much sun the country declared a drought... a drought!
Fast forward to 2019 and... well it doesn't do any good to reminisce about summer's gone by. Let's just focus on what we can get salvage from this one.
And Met Eireann's latest forecast does give us a bit of hope that some better temperatures could be on the way.
Unfortunately we wont see much improvement until after the weekend. The national forecaster believes we won't experience highs greater than 16C by Sunday, with heavy and widespread showers expected over the next few days.
Here's what we can expect:
Friday
Tomorrow (Friday) will be bright in many places to start tomorrow morning, with sunny spells, but some showers too.
But the national forecaster is expecting the conditions to be "drier and less showery towards midweek".
Saturday
Although Met Eireann is forecasting "reasonable amounts of sunshine" on Saturday, there will be some heavy showers in the afternoon.
"Over the weekend, with an area of low pressure over or very close to Ireland, there will be sunny spells and showers on both Saturday and Sunday.
"A few heavy showers in places during Saturday afternoon, but most should be light and fairly well scattered, with some reasonable amounts of sunshine at times too."
Sunday
There will be heavy and widespread showers on Sunday, with brief spells of thunder in some places.
"The showers are likely to become heavy and widespread as the day progresses on Sunday and during Sunday afternoon and evening, some prolonged and locally thundery downpours are likely.
"Temperatures still well below normal for mid-June, both days, ranging 12C to 16C. Winds generally moderate south to southwesterly."
Monday and beyond
Now to the (mildly) good news! Monday will see rain showers, but Met Eireann says there will be sunny spells.
The national forecaster is predicting warmer days next week as temperatures slowly return to the seasonal average.
A forecaster said: "Temperatures recovering gradually to more normal values.
"Some sunny spells each day, but some further showers at times too, especially on Monday, but drier and less showery towards midweek."
