Temperatures swept into the mid-teens over the weekend as a plume of southerly warm air made dreams of a white Christmas a distant memory. Yesterday was one of the warmest December days in recent years as parts of the country saw highs of 14C. However, the mild weather is due to take a dip in the coming days and the temperatures will drop notably throughout today. "As a rough guide, 8C to 9C is the average temperatures for this time of year and we're above that," said Met Éireann meteorologist Andrew Doran Sherlock.
