Ireland will turn "much colder" in April, with even Met Éireann warning of some 'unstable' periods over the next few weeks.
After a glorious spell in March which saw temperatures hit the high teens, we've seen a dull start to April, with rain, hail and even snow falling in some parts of the country.
But it doesn't seem like that's going to change any time soon, with the national forecaster noting that '"wintry showers" are possible over the weekend as temperatures drop further.
They revealed that an "unsettled" week was in store for us, thanks to a low pressure system dominating.
The full prediction for the week reads: "Mild & breezy with rain at times over the next few days. Much colder from Thursday until the weekend with some wintry showers & frost"
In terms of Tuesday, it'll be "mostly cloudy with occasional bright spells, the odd patch of rain & drizzle in places though. A band of more persistent rain will push into the far northwest late morning."
And thanks to the monthly forecast by the boffins at Met Éireann, we know that things will stay a bit murky for the majority of the month.
This week will be "wetter than average" with the west and north getting more than average rainfall.
That'll be followed up next week as rainfall amounts will be "above normal once again" heading into Easter weekend.
The prediction continues: "It will be a little more unstable over the northern half of the country allowing for some more active weather than of late."
Easter Monday should start a more settled week as things calm down and we see a drier than average spell, but the month will end with high pressure moving away from the island, leaving unsettled conditions once more.
So don't pack away the rain jackets just yet.
