Good morning, folks! The cold snap has come to an end as Dublin is set to enjoy double-digit temperatures for a few days.
While the first half of the week will see persistent rain, the second half seems to be more settled. There will be another short period of cold weather with subzero temperatures towards the end of the week but it won't last for long.
Today will be rather dull and overcast to start with patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. Fog will also linger in some parts through the morning. The highest daytime temperatures will be around 10 to 12 degrees.
