It's so close we can almost touch it...
Met Éireann is predicting Spring to finally strike sometime next week.
While cool and cloudy conditions are expected across the weekend and into the start of next week, things are set to turn around come Wednesday and Thursday.
''Present indications suggest that these days are likely to be warm, humid days. Some hazy sunshine each day, but there is the prospect of some heavy thundery showers breaking out in places too. Temperatures in the high teens with moderate southeast breezes,'' Met Éireann wrote.
That sounds more like it.

Meanwhile, we will just have to sit jealously and watch as the UK experiences a mini-heatwave with temperatures forecast to hit highs of up to 25C - thanks to warm fronts pushing up from the Mediterranean.
If a little bit of that action could come our way, wouldn't be the worst thing... you know.
