Met Eireann have issued their four-week December forecast and it has left anyone hoping for a white Christmas disappointed.
There currently isn't any snow on the forecaster's radar this month as the country seems to be heading for a mostly dry December. Temperatures are expected to range from normal to slightly colder than normal and there are some frosty nights on the way.
Here's Met Eireann's forecast for the next four weeks:

Week 1 (Friday 02 December to Thursday 08 December)
"High pressure to our north and east will keep conditions during this period largely settled. Ireland will lie in a predominantly easterly airflow. As a result, conditions will be drier than normal for most areas, but more frequent showers will affect eastern areas, leading to slightly above average rainfall there.
"This easterly airflow will also draw colder air from continental Europe over Ireland, and as a result, air temperatures will be normal or slightly below. With lighter winds and colder temperatures, overnight frosts are likely with mist and fog possible too.
Week 2 (Friday 09 December to Thursday 15 December)
"Ireland looks likely to remain in a mostly easterly airflow for week 2, with little change to the overall conditions. Showers will continue most frequent in the east and southeast with rainfall totals slightly above normal there. Elsewhere will remain drier than average. Conditions will also be colder than average nationwide for the period, with continued potential for frosty nights.
Week 3 (Friday 16 December to Thursday 22 December)
"While uncertainty increases for week 3, indications suggest that conditions will remain similar with an easterly airflow over Ireland. This will continue to bring slightly above average rainfall to the east and southeast while other areas will remain drier than normal. Temperatures will be around normal or just below normal.
Week 4 (Friday 23 December to Thursday 29 December)
"There is a large amount of uncertainty in week 4 but there is a weak signal for similar conditions once again. Rainfall is indicated to be below average away from eastern areas with temperatures trending towards normal nationwide."
