Met Eireann has issued a mixed-bag forecast for this week with Christmas just around the corner.
Miserable conditions are set to grip Ireland in the run up to Christmas. The country will be lashed by heavy rain while Christmas Day will see showers turning into sleet in some parts of the country.
Today will be generally dry and bright with southwesterly winds starting off fresh and gradually easing through the day. The highest temperatures will be around 8 or 9 degrees.
