Met Eireann's warning of heavy showers, isolated thunderstorms and localised flooding.
However, there is good news too.
Temperatures could reach the high 20s later this week, according to Met Eireann.
The forecaster is predicting warm temperatures from Wednesday, reaching 25 degrees on Friday, and continuing to be very warm for the weekend.
Met Eireann Forecaster Evelyn Cusack says this week will start off wet, but will certainly improve.
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather is also anticipating good weather.
Great cross model agreement now on high pressure moving up over Ireland by Friday. It may not be clear blue skies but it will be dry and warmer so if the weather is getting you down today remember it will get better 🙂 pic.twitter.com/bqHA4t5CfN
