Met Eireann has issued a dull and damp forecast for Dublin as unsettled conditions will continue to dominate.
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.
Speaking about next week, a Met Eireann forecaster said as part of the long-range forecast: "[...] high pressure will return over Ireland. 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."
