Met Eireann have predicted that "wintry showers" will fall across Ireland as we head into February - with temperatures dropping and rainfall rising.
Alongside their daily forecasts, Met Eireann also provide handy monthly predictions in order to help people prepare for events in the longer term.
And their latest one, which covers the next four weeks, makes for interesting reading.
Week One (Friday January 28 to February 3)
A Met Eireann spokesperson explained: "High pressure persists as the dominant influence over our area and indeed much of western Europe during week 1, with above average temperatures and below average rainfall indicated overall through the period..
"Potential hazards include fog, and occasionally frosty and icy conditions with the chance of wintry showers, chiefly in the north and northwest."
Week Two (February 4 to February 10)
Week Two runs from February 4 to February 10, and will see an increase in the likelihood of precipitation extending from the Atlantic over Ireland.
Met Eireann say: "As a result, slightly wetter than average conditions are indicated over the western half of the country with near normal or just slightly drier than normal conditions further east. Temperatures are indicated to remain slightly above average overall for this period, but this doesn’t preclude the chance of briefly colder interludes which could bring some wintry showers from time to time."
Week Three (February 11 to February 18)
High pressure will continue to remain in place for week three, which means more rainfall - and Met Eireann are warning some areas will see "above average" levels of rain.
They add: "Temperatures are likely to remain slightly milder than average overall, but again as above, this does not preclude the chance of briefly colder interludes which could bring some wintry precipitation at times."
Week Four (February 18 to February 24)
The spokesperson continues: "Signalled conditions for Week 4 remain broadly similar to Week 3 with high pressure positioned to the southeast of Ireland over continental Europe. Slightly wetter than average conditions for much of the country, but near normal or drier that average conditions near eastern and southern coasts. Slightly above average temperatures overall."
