After continued and prolonged periods of heavy rain in September, the first week of October is forecast to be drier according to Met Éireann. Although there will be some rain midweek.
As much as 120mm of rain fell in some areas as the country suffered an exceptionally wet September.
However, there appears to be more of a settled period on the way.
Monday will be mostly dry, although there is a risk of a shower over the north and northeast. Counties in the south will see heavy cloud build which could lead to a shower or two in the afternoon. Top temperatures will range from 13°C to 15°C.

On Tuesday, high pressure will start to build, giving a dry and bright day for everyone.
Top temperatures will range from 12°C to 14°C.
However, on Wednesday a ridge of rain will spread from the Atlantic, bringing heavy rain for a time, mainly over northern counties.
Temperatures on Wednesday will reach a maximum of 16°C, with overnight temperatures dropping to 10°C.
By Thursday, the rain will have cleared and it will leave a dry and bright day for most. There is a risk of some fog for a time on Thursday morning.
Looking at Friday and the weekend, early indications suggest it will remain dry but it will get colder during the day. Temperatures are forecast to reach no higher than 11°C.
