Heavy showers and winds will bring plummeting temperatures across Ireland. But a huge change is on the way as hotter than average weather could mark the return of settled conditions.

This week will be more settled with drier than normal conditions in all areas. Temperatures are signalled to rise slightly, to become a degree above average across the island."
