Any lingering cloud or drizzle in the south-east will clear quickly this morning, the national meteorological office said.
It will then be a dry and bright day nationwide with a mix of cloud and good sunny spells. Feeling cooler and fresher than in recent days with top temperatures of 15° to 18° in light to moderate north or north-west breezes.
It will be a chilly night for early September with lowest temperatures ranging from 3° to 7° in mostly light northerly breezes.
Following recent humid spells, a fresher airmass, which developed overnight, is expected to last for much of this week.
There will be good opportunities for spraying, outside of any showers, during the early days of this week, the office forecasts.
However, deficits are much lower over Connacht and west Ulster, with a surplus even over much of Connacht, according to Met Eireann.
