After a decent few days, the weather is set to take another turn over the weekend

In terms of weather, it is probably safe to say that we're all keeping a side eye on 2019.

Whereas last year brought every extremity of cold and hot and wind and rain, this year has been mostly right in the middle. Sure, you'd go out one day and be sweating out of your jumper, and then the next day be freezing in your t-shirt, but sure that's Ireland for you! That trend looks to continue on this week, after a really cold night tonight (lows as low as -1 degrees), before Thursday arrives with temperatures set to be as high as 15 degrees.

Largely dry today. Rather cloudy overall, but some bright or sunny spells, with the best of the sunshine expected over Munster and south Leinster. Top temperatures of 11 to 15 C., in light to moderate southwest breezes. pic.twitter.com/1cnwaScBke

Friday will be slightly cooler, averaging between 11 and 14 degrees, with a band of rain expected to slowly make its way across the entire country, before the weekend arrives with a colder front. Both Saturday and Sunday are expected to have highs during the day of between 7 and 10 degrees, before dropping to around the freezing point both nights, with Met Eireann predicting lows of -1 in places, with a widespread frost and possibly some patches of mist and fog also. So enjoy your sunny week, because we're getting a chilly weekend!
