Met Eireann have forecast weather conditions to get a lot colder from Wednesday next week.
However, night time temperatures will drop to freezing from tomorrow with frost predicted for some areas. Today will be cloudy with a "few sudden breaks" and light showers.
It is also predicted temperatures will drop on Wednesday due to a northerly airflow. Weather expert Alan O'Reilly said "cold is coming" but added that snow is still "very uncertain".

He wrote on his Carlow Weather twitter page: "Lots of people asking about snow, the current models show none up to Mondays for Ireland. Beyond that is very uncertain and snow depth charts like these are generally very poor even in short term. So if you see any bear that in mind.
"Cold is coming, snow? Wait and see." Mr O'Reilly previously blasted reports of a "beast from the east" hitting Ireland.
