We could well be experiencing all four seasons in one day today.

This morning’s glorious summer sunshine is set to continue for most of the afternoon with temperatures of up to 20C in some parts of the country before things start to go downhill.

There will be a gradual build up of cloud through the morning and scattered heavy showers will break out during the day.

By sundown you might want to put the heating on; according to Met Éireann, temperatures will likely plummet as low as 2C tonight.

The national forecaster is even warning there could be “a touch of grass frost for a short time around dawn.”

Apart from the odd shower, summer is back in business on Wednesday, which will be “mainly dry with good sunshine” and highs of 16 to 19 degrees.
