After a long warm dry spell, some rain finally came this weekend in some parts to dampen the sunny start to June.
While grey parts of the sky could be seen in some areas and even some small bits of rain in parts, the temperatures still stayed fairly high.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the rain might get worse before we clear into some more glorious summer weather, with one weather page predicting the possibility of thunder and heavy showers on Monday before Ireland is set to be hit with potential 29C heat.

Thankfully, only some of the country will be blasted with downpours though, with some areas appearing to be worse off than others.
According to Alan O'Reilly, from the popular Twitter page Carlow Weather, current weather models for Monday are showing “very heavy and thundery showers” adding that the south and midlands appear to be the highest at risk.
He wrote: “High-resolution weather models showing very heavy and thundery showers tomorrow with over 30mm possible locally.
“Hard to pinpoint where they will hit but south and midlands look highest risk.”
He added underneath in a reply to the Tweet: "Temperatures will rise over the coming days also with up to 26C or 27C possible this week and not falling below 13C or 14C many nights."
Met Éireann has said that Monday will be another warm and humid day. However, scattered showers will push into Leinster early on, extending westwards across the country through the afternoon and evening.
Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery with the potential for spot flooding, especially later in the day. Maximum temperatures of 20C to 25C, warmest in the northeast, in light north to northwest breezes.
Moving into the evening the national forecaster has predicted that a few heavy showers or thunderstorms will continue in the midlands and west overnight with clear spells developing elsewhere. They added that the nighttime will be humid and close with some mist and fog.
Lowest temperatures of 14C to 17C in mostly light northeast or variable winds.
