The cold snap is set to come to an end as Met Eireann has issued two new weather warnings.
After a few weeks of freezing weather, mild temperatures will be taking hold in the run up to Christmas. But the national forecaster has warned of horrid conditions with heavy rain and spot flooding hitting parts of the country.
A Status Yellow rain warning is in place from 7pm today until 12.30pm tomorrow for Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Galway, and Mayo. The alert reads: "Heavy rain at times tonight (Sunday) and on Monday morning with spot flooding possible. Highest amounts in coastal and mountainous areas."

Showery rain will develop tonight in the west and southwest before spreading to the east overnight. Rain will be heaviest in western and southern counties with spot flooding possible.
Temperature will be around 10 to 13 degrees. Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain.
The heaviest may result in spot flooding across the southern and western countries. It will be mild with highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees, but becoming colder in the afternoon as rain clears. Quite windy also, especially in the southeast, with fresh to strong south to southwest winds.
