Ireland's temperatures have taken a sharp u-turn as the mercury plummets - and Dublin is set to drop to below freezing in the coming days.
The colder conditions can already be felt across the capital with temperatures as low as 1C expected overnight. But by Friday we can expect those numbers to drop to -1C as Winter truly arrives.
Met Eireann is forecasting plenty of rain for the rest of the week with mist and fog lingering in the morning as the change sets in. We've even got wind on the way by the weekend amidst daytime temperatures maxing out at 10C.

We can expect some frosty patches on a chilly Tuesday night, with rain beginning to develop throughout Wednesday. Met Eireann says: "Mist and fog will gradually clear on Wednesday morning and sunny spells will develop. Dry for a time but it will become cloudier in the afternoon with scattered showers. More persistent rain will spread from the south during the evening. Top temperatures of 10 or 11 Celsius. Light to moderate southerly winds will become easterly in the afternoon, then back northerly during the evening."
