Met Éireann has delivered its weather forecast for the week ahead and their meteorologists have made two big predictions.

While they say we're in for a continued spell of dry and sunny weather, it may not be time yet to dump the winter duvet at night. 

In their outlook for the week, Met Éireann said: "Continuing mainly dry. Plenty of sunshine during the days with temperatures gradually increasing further. Chilly during the nights."

They predict Monday "will be dry with plenty of sunshine, a little warmer generally with highest temperatures of 14 to 19 degrees, still coolest near east and south coasts in a light southeasterly or variable breeze."

They add: "Monday night will be dry with some mist or fog patches developing. It will be chilly with lowest temperatures of 0 to 5 degrees with light variable breezes or easterly breezes. Some frost will form too."

The forecast for the rest of the week continues: "On Tuesday, fog will clear through in the morning to give another dry day with plenty of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 14 to 18 degrees with light variable or easterly breezes.
