Ireland weather: Met Eireann pinpoint day temperatures will plummet as Indian summer comes to an end
It's time to get the hot water bottles and winter coats out of storage as a significant drop in temperature is on the way over the coming days
Met Eireann has warned that a dramatic weather U-turn is on the cards, with temperatures set to plummet in the coming days.
Ireland has been basking in unseasonably warm weather so far this month, with the thermometer tipping 19C on Wednesday.
However, the warm spell of weather is set to come to end next week, with temperatures falling as low as 3C with some frost also on the way.

Met Eireann has said that it will remain mild and mostly cloudy over the next few days, with a lot of dry weather forecast as high pressure remains close by, but with drizzle, mist and fog in parts and with some rain at times, especially further west, though amounts will be low.
But from Sunday and the early days of next week, it'll be cooler and dry generally although it'll be much brighter and clearer with some sunshine.
According to Met Eireann's latest forecast, it'll be mostly cloudy and dry in many areas today, but there'll be some drizzle, mainly in the south and southwest and in some western coastal parts at times. There'll be some hill and coastal mist and fog too, mainly in southern parts, with highest temperatures of 12C to 16C in mostly moderate, occasionally fresh and gusty southeasterly winds, strong for a time in western coastal areas.
It will remain mostly cloudy tonight with some mist and drizzle and with a little rain moving into the southwest and west, with lowest temperatures of 10C to 13C in mostly moderate southeast winds.
Friday is expected to be mostly cloudy with some mist and drizzle, mainly in the south and southwest and with a little rain at times in the southwest and west, with the chance of the odd moderate burst in the southwest, with highest temperatures of 12C to 15C.
Friday night will be cloudy with a lot of dry weather, but with some mist and drizzle and some fog too, most widespread in the south and southwest. There'll be a little rain also, mainly in the southwest and possibly in the west too, with lowest temperatures of 10C to 13C with the winds gradually decreasing light to moderate southeasterly.
Saturday will be another mostly cloudy day with a lot of dry weather overall, but with a little light rain and drizzle in places at times along with some hill and coastal mist and fog. Met Eireann has said there's the likelihood of a few bright or limited sunny spells developing for a short time, mainly in the west in the afternoon, with highest temperatures of 12C to 16C degrees in light to moderate southeast winds.
Saturday night will be mostly cloudy with some drizzle, patchy light rain and mist and with a band of more persistent rain tracking eastwards. A clearance to mainly dry cooler weather will push in across the western half of the country later on, with lowest temperatures of 9C to 13C degrees in moderate.
The last of the rain will quickly clear eastwards on Sunday morning, and the rest of the day will be mainly dry and bright, with plenty of sunshine on the cards. There'll just be a few isolated showers, mainly in the north and northwest. It will be much fresher than recently with highest afternoon temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in mostly moderate westerly winds, fresher in coastal parts of the north and northwest.
However, Sunday night will be colder than recent nights and it'll be dry with clear spells, with lowest temperatures of just 4C to 9C.
Monday will be a dry day with a mix of cloud and sunshine, with highest temperatures of 10C to 13C in light to moderate west to northwest winds.
Monday night will be dry with clear spells and with a few patches of mist and fog forming. It will be another cold night, with lowest temperatures of 3C to 7C, in light northwest breezes, and with a touch of frost in parts.
With high pressure likely to stay in charge, Met Eireann has said it should stay mainly dry over early part of next week with mostly light breezes, although some mist and fog is likely by night and in the mornings.
