Weather forecast
Tuesday is forecast to be a cold, bright day, with sunny spells.
Scattered wintry showers will occur also, mainly over the western half of the country, during the morning and early afternoon, before largely dying out, according to Met Éireann.
Maximum temperatures will range between 3º and 6ºC in moderate west to southwest breezes.
On Tuesday night, frost is forecast to develop for a time under clear skies. However, cloud will increase from the west, followed by outbreaks of rain, clearing any frost.
It will become windy as well, with strong southerly winds and gales along coasts. Lowest temperatures will be -1ºC to 2ºC early on, but temperatures will rise as rain and drizzle spreads eastwards.
