The weather is set to take a freezing turn in the next few days as temperatures dip as low as -3C on Monday night.
An unsettled weekend will quickly turn to chilly weather although there is no sign of snow accompanying it at the moment.
A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Tomorrow morning there will be sunny spells in the northwest but further outbreaks of rain will move up across the rest of the country from the south. The rain will gradually clear eastwards during the afternoon and will be followed by sunny spells and isolated showers. Highest temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees with light to moderate southerly winds, veering westerly as the rain clears.
