Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill/The Irish TimesIreland is forecast for a mixed bag of weather with rain and dry spells but there will be no chance of snow as Christmas week gets underway. Cloud with outbreaks of rain and drizzle will gradually clear northeast on Monday night with clear spells and some showers following from the southeast. It will remain dry apart from possible spots of light rain or drizzle near eastern coasts. Christmas Eve will also be largely dry with just a few light showers or spots of drizzle. Even though a white Christmas is still unlikely for our neighbours too, it cannot be completely ruled out.
