On Monday it will be blustery day with outbreaks of rain across parts of Ulster and Connacht.

Elsewhere will be dry with just isolated patches of drizzle and a few sunny spells developing.

Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees with fresh to strong and gusty southwest winds, easing moderate to fresh in the afternoon.

New Year's Eve will be a rather windy day with widespread rain at first. Rain will become confined to Munster and south Leinster in the afternoon, with sunny spells and isolated showers elsewhere.

Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty southwest winds, easing during the evening.

Met Éireann said overall there is some uncertainity regarding the track of a low pressure area on New Years Eve night and New Years Day. It will be followed by an Arctic airmass bringing much colder and more settled conditions.

New Years Day will see heavy rain for a time, mainly in the east and south, with some falls of sleet or snow possible too.

This will clear away southeastwards during the day. It may be windy in parts for a time too with winds becoming northwesterly and gradually easing.

Some sunny spells will develop with showers in parts. Highest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees, but it'll become cold everywhere through the evening.
