Dublin is set to shiver as Met Eireann has forecasted the return of the cold snap.
Temperatures will plummet to near-freezing with some frosty nights in store. The good news is, the rest of the week will see mostly settled conditions so it will be mostly dry with minimal to no rain.
Today will start off cold and breezy with some good sunny spells. There will be a few scattered showers through the afternoon with a small risk of hail. Temperatures will be around 7 or 8 degrees but it'll feel colder due to a brisk northwesterly wind.
