Meanwhile, Met Éireann forecasts that there’s more rain to come this week.
Today got off to a blustery start, with widespread showers at first, turning heavy in places.
Drier conditions and sunny spells will slowly spread from the north through the afternoon as showers ease.
However, heavier showers will continue in Munster though tonight will be generally dry, with just isolated showers which may turn wintry on high ground in the northwest.
There will be a cold start to tomorrow, with frost and ice lingering at first.
A dry day for most but cloud will thicken from the southwest through the day, with rain and drizzle gradually spreading across Munster, possibly falling as sleet on high ground.
It will become wet and windy overnight on Tuesday and into Wednesday, though.
The rain on Wednesday morning will fall as sleet in parts of the north and northeast at first and rain will linger in the east and north for much of the day, but elsewhere will turn brighter with scattered showers.
Further scattered outbreaks of rain are in store for Wednesday night, though these will gradually ease as the night progresses.
Thursday will start cloudy, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.
It will then slowly brighten up from the west as the day goes on but with scattered showers and sunny spells spreading eastwards.
Friday meanwhile will be dull and blustery, with rain and drizzle spreading eastwards across the country early on, followed by showers and sunny spells later in the afternoon, though some showers may turn heavy.
Current indications for the weekend suggest further outbreaks of rain, with the best chance of dry spells in the south.
