LIVE: Met Éireann in subzero Ireland weather forecast but a glorious twist is coming

Met Éireann has made a prediction for the Irish weather for the rest of this week that will be music to most people's ears after a wet and blustery few days.

While they say night-time temperatures for the rest of the week will dip below zero with -2 predicted for Wednesday night, the national forecaster always says we should see a lot of dry weather right through the weekend.

Their outlook says "high Pressure looks set to build near Ireland bringing a good deal of dry weather."

They add that: "Rain will clear from east Ulster early [on Wednesday] to leave a bright and breezy day with a mix of sunshine and scattered rain or hail showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and prolonged and a few thunderstorms are possible. Highest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty west to northwest winds.

"Showers will become confined to Atlantic coastal areas on Wednesday night and many areas will become dry with clear skies. A cold night with lowest temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees with frost developing in some areas as westerly winds fall light over land."

The forecast continues: "Thursday looks set to be a bright and fresh day with plenty of sunshine. There will just be a few passing showers, these mainly confined to Atlantic coastal counties. Highest temperatures will range from 7 to 10 degrees in moderate west to northwest breezes. It will become largely dry on Thursday night with long clear spells. Frost will develop in some areas along with pockets of fog. Lowest temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees generally but milder along Atlantic coastal fringes.

"It is expected to be a mostly dry day on Friday with a mix of cloud and sunny spells. A few light showers will develop in the afternoon, but they will be few and far between. Maximum temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees in moderate to fresh southwest winds. On Friday night, cloud looks set to increase from the Atlantic bringing outbreaks of rain to parts of north Connacht and west Ulster. However, it looks set to hold largely dry elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 5 degrees generally but it will be milder in Atlantic coastal areas as southerly winds freshen a little.

"On Saturday, a weakening band of rain will push southeastwards over Ireland but rainfall amounts will be small. Drier and clearer weather will develop in the northwest for the afternoon. Maximum temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees with mostly light winds which will vary in direction.

"Current indications suggest that Sunday will bring lots of dry weather but with some areas of mist and fog about. Maximum temperatures ranging from 6 to 10 degrees," the Met Éireann forecast concludes.
