After showers on Friday morning, which could include hail in places, it will be a largely bright day overall, with highest temperatures of six to nine degrees during the day. The mercury will plunge to as low as -3 degrees at night, causing widespread frost and some icy patches.

According to Met Éireann's latest forecast, the dry weather is set to continue over the Bank Holiday weekend and we may even see a St Patrick's Day without rain - or at least a lot of it! It looks like the sharp and cold temperatures are due to stick around, although as the weekend moves on the chill will ease somewhat.
