Last night's heavy rainfalls over the southern part of the country marked the end of the stormy period as drier weather is forecast from today, according to the weather experts.
The heavy rain over Munster and southern Leinster will die out by this morning.
Today there will be a mix of cloud and bright spells and it will be largely dry apart from a few passing light showers. Early mist will clear and there will be a moderate northerly breeze.
Ms Sarah O'Neill of Met Éireann said: "The heavy rains will ease off all over the country and we will have a much drier period with maybe just a few light showers."
From tomorrow until Tuesday a settled spell of weather is forecast as high pressure becomes established over or near the country.
Tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday will be mainly dry.
Winds will be light to moderate in strength. The days will be bright with variable cloud cover with most areas having some sunny spells. The nights will be cool with some fog and frost.
Today, temperatures will range from 11 to 14 degrees and will remain in the lower teens during the day over the next few days.
