Met Eireann’s five-day forecast has forecasted a big turnaround in the coming days as conditions turn “changeable and unstable” next week.
While the famous Donegal postman Michael Gallagher has used his unconventional forecasting methods to make his big Christmas prediction.
On whether the snow will fall on Christmas Day, he told RSVP Live: “That’s just one day, it’s hard to be so exact.
“But I know it’s going to snow, and it will be around Christmas Day. It’ll be there or that way.”
He added that there will be wind from the east, which is never a good sign.

“Any wind that comes from the east is an unhealthy wind and brings a lot of flu and colds,” he continued.
“It’s a time when people need to stay warm.”
Meanwhile, today it will be dry and even sunny in many areas with maximum temperatures of 12 ° C, while the weekend looks like it will be warmer but more humid.
A forecaster from Met Eireann said: “Today, dry in most areas, with fog, low clouds and any patches of fog gradually clearing during the morning. Periods of sunshine will develop in most areas, but much of Munster will be cloudy, with the possibility of erratic drizzle developing later, mainly in the southwest. Clouds will also increase later in parts of southern Connacht and southern Leinster. Highs 8 to 12 degrees with light breezes at moderate from east to southeast.
“Tonight it will be dry in most areas, with periods clear at first in many parts, but cold, with minimum temperatures of 2-5 degrees. There will also be some patches of fog. Milder and cloudy conditions in Munster, parts of the south of Leinster and south of Connacht later generalize, with patches of mist and drizzle, mostly light winds, from the east or variable.
“Saturday will be mostly cloudy, with persistent rain and drizzle in the southern coastal areas during the morning, spreading north, but becoming more scattered, with some dry spells in most parts.
“Much of Ulster will remain dry into the night. Mild, with highs of 9-14 degrees, mostly with light breezes from the east, cool on the south and southwest coasts.
“Cloudy and hazy Saturday night, with bouts of rain and drizzle, persistent in some places, with some more intense gusts, mainly in parts of the south. Also fog of hills and coasts. Minimum temperatures of 6 to 12 degrees, plus cool in Ulster, light to moderate breezes from the east.
“Cloudy on Sunday, with scattered bouts of rain and drizzle, especially in the north and east during the morning, but dry spells will develop in most areas during the day. Highs 11-14-15 degrees, with Light to moderate southeastern breezes. A period of persistent rain will develop in the southwest at night, spreading north on Sunday night, but will become erratic. Minimum overnight temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees, with breezes moderate from the southeast, cool on the southern coasts. “
And next week it looks set to remain very unstable, with the risk of “heavy drops” of rain later in the week.
One forecaster added: “Mostly cloudy on Monday, with occasional, persistent rain at times, with some stronger gusts. Mild, with highs of 12-14 degrees, with mostly moderate breezes from the southeast.
“Mild Monday night, with more outbreaks of rain, but drier conditions will extend from the west.
“Mainly dry on Tuesday, with some bouts of sunshine, but predominantly cloudy, with the possibility of some light rain and drizzle. Mild, with highs of 11 to 13 degrees, with mostly mild to moderate southerly winds, cooling in the west and southwest coasts.
“Current indications suggest that it will be moody and unstable for the rest of next week, with occasional rains and the risk of some heavy falls in the western and southwestern coastal areas. Also good dry intervals and milder than normal. Possibly windy midweek, with cool southeast winds, but lighter winds are likely in the second half of the week. “
