DUBLINERS are seeing conditions start to look up this week following a weekend of heavy storms.
Storm Eowyn left a trail of destruction on Friday, with schools, businesses and public transport shut down all over the capital.
This was followed by heavy rain and strong gusts as Storm Herminia followed on Sunday, causing further miserable conditions throughout the county.
Hundreds of homes and businesses in Dublin still remain without power as the ESB as confirmed many will not see electricity return until as late as Wednesday.
As schools reopen this morning, Met Eireann has predicted the exact time things will begin to improve for Dublin.
Today is set to start out with blustery conditions many saw over the last number of days.
This will be paired with spells of rain or showers also, with some becoming heavy at times.
However, there are set to be some dry and bright spells coming in the afternoon, with winds easing off later.
Temperatures remain normal for the time of year, hitting highs of 8C or 9C.
Overnight, the weather is set to take another turn as outbreaks of rain will continue.
There will be some drier periods also overnight for some, with temperatures as low as 4C to 6C.
Tomorrow is when many will see a major shift in conditions as more sunny spells emerge.
Met Eireann said: “Tomorrow, Tuesday will bring a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers with longer spells of rain possible at times.
“Showers will become isolated in the evening.
“Highest temperatures of 7C to 8C with fresh and gusty northwesterly winds, becoming moderate to fresh westerly later.”
Overnight on Tuesday, it will remain dry, with frost and icy patches likely to develop as temperatures drop to -1C to 3C.
A colder day will hit on Wednesday with sunny spells to accompany it, and temperatures of 5C to 8C.
Scattered showers will return overnight on Wednesday for a time in the midst of clear spells, with lows again of -1C to 3C.
Met Eireann also warned: “It will turn frosty with a few mist or fog patches too.”
