An Arctic airmass is set to make its presence known later on Christmas Day with temperatures set to take a tumble across the South East.
Christmas Day will start off relatively mild with highs of 10 degrees Celcius, however, temperatures will begin to dip in the afternoon ahead of much colder weather on St. Stephen's Day.
Monday, December 26th will begin with freezing temperatures with the mercury barely rising above three degrees Celcius as the day progresses.
Unlike Christmas Day 2021, which was a complete washout, conditions this year are set to remain largely dry with just a chance of isolated showers.
St. Stephen's Day, meanwhile, will see the risk of sleet showers due to the colder temperatures.
Taking to Twitter, Carlow Weather's Alan O'Reilly said: "Weather models in better agreement now for a short blast of cold air Christmas night and St. Stephen’s Day then temperatures rising again. Uncertainty around 28th onwards though."
