Met Eireann is predicting some freezing temperatures as winter arrives all over Ireland this week.

There's a much different few days on the horizon following a weekend of warnings and stormy weather.

It's time to break out the hot water bottle and gloves as temperatures drop to a cold 0C in the coming days.

There will be hail, frost and thunderstorms at the start of the week with the hail and frost continuing throughout as the days and nights get chillier.

Here's a six-day weather forecast from the national forecaster so you know what to expect:

Tuesday

"A blustery day with a mix of scattered heavy showers and sunny spells. The showers most frequent in the west.

"Cool, with highs of only 8 or 9 degrees in a stiff west to northwest breeze. Mostly dry with clear spells Tuesday night, showers in the north. Lows of 3 to 6 degrees in the north, 0 to 4 degrees in the south, with patchy grass frost in sheltered areas."

Wednesday

"Mostly dry, sunny spells. Northwesterly winds easing. Highs of 10 or 11 degrees. Lows close to freezing in the south Wednesday night, with frost forming in light winds."

Thursday and Friday

"Dry and settled with good sunny spells and light winds. Highs of 10 to 12 degrees."
