Good morning, folks!
It's time to bundle up as today's Met Eireann forecast has signalled the arrival of cold weather. Temperatures are set to nosedive in the coming days with unsettled conditions dominating.
Today will be cool with sunny spells and moderate showers. It will become blustery at times in the vicinity of showers, so it will be "quite chilly" for the time of the year, a Met Eireann forecaster warned.
Daytime temperatures will be around 12 to 14 degrees. The showers will become more isolated and die out by the evening.
