Met Eireann warns that conditions will get colder next week, as a famous Donegal postman has shared an update on his prediction of the White Christmas.
Michael Gallagher is known for making his long-term weather forecasts by observing the behavior of plants and animals.
He has already given his prediction of the White Christmas, telling RSVP Live: “A very, very cold winter awaits us.
“And I know it is going to snow, and it will be close to Christmas day. It will be there or there.”

And now you’ve shared your recipe for a traditional chicken soup, which you say is a great winter warmer.
“In the olden times they used to make chicken soup for cold weather, it’s great to keep you warm!” he said.
“Children and young people drank it in the morning but it could be taken at any time of the day, it is lovely to have it when you go in after a walk in the afternoon.
“You can make a big pot and then you have enough to last a few days, you can heat it whenever you want.
“It’s so simple, it’s good for you and good if you also have a cold or the flu.”
Meanwhile, conditions will stabilize somewhat later today and tomorrow, although a lot of wet weather is still expected.
A forecaster for Met Eireann said: “There will be more downpours or longer periods of rain this afternoon and tonight, with more persistent rains in the southwest moving north overnight, clearing once again in the southern half of the country by the morning.
“Overnight temperatures will be between 7 and 10 degrees, dropping to between 4 and 6 degrees around dawn. Moderate to cool winds from the south will remain strong on the coasts.
