Heads up, it's about to get cold, really cold.

The risk of more snow and sleet in the coming days is high as Met Éireann predicts absolutely freezing temperatures to hit Ireland this coming weekend.

The national forecaster has warned that of temperatures as low as -3C as a bitter change sets in.

The good news is that things will stay fairly mild up until Thursday with maximum temperatures of around 11C.

However this will change on Saturday, with temperatures expected to drop to freezing overnight.

Sunday looks set to be the coldest day of the week with lows of -3C night-time temperatures predicted in some areas.

That trend is also expected to continue into next week, with frost and a risk of "wintry precipitation" potentially bringing sleet and snow across the country.

Met Eireann's forecast reads: "It is expected to be cold and bright on Sunday with sunny spells and scattered wintry showers, most frequent in the north and west.

"Highs of just 4C to 7C.

"That brisk north to northwest breeze will persist. The winds are expected to ease overnight with frost developing fairly widely.

"Minimum temperatures of -3C to 0C."
