The weekend weather is set to be cold for this time of year, Met Éireann has said, though Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be bright and sunny.
The national forecaster warned that the coming week would be “unsettled” with periods of rain and showers and “rather wet” conditions, particularly on Tuesday.
Saturday afternoon is expected to bring a mix of cloud and sunshine, with the best of the sunshine in the west. Overnight temperatures will be low, dropping to -2 degrees in places and bringing a touch of air and grass frost, along with some mist or fog patches.
Plenty of morning sunshine is expected on Sunday. Cloud is expected from the west, however, with showers spreading eastward, a few of them heavy. Highest temperatures are forecast to range from 10 to 13 degrees.
