Dublin weather: Met Eireann forecast much milder temperatures but warn rain and fog are on the way

Met Eireann have forecast a much milder week ahead as the country bids farewell to the sub-zero temperatures we experienced over the past week.

However, it's not all good news because fog and rain are set to hit Dublin and the rest of the country over the coming days. Today, it will be "dull and misty" in the capital with rain clearing later this afternoon or this evening and highest temperatures of 8 or 9 degrees.

Tonight will be mostly dry with a few clear spells and lowest temperatures of 1 to 3 degrees. Winds will be light southerly or variable, allowing fog to thicken and possibly become widespread.
