Grab those scarves and mittens - it's set to be a foggy and frosty weekend.
Today will be dry and overcast with fog lingering over northern parts of the country.
There will be sunny patches during the afternoon with temperatures rising to 5C.
Night-time temperatures will not drop as significantly as they did on Thursday night due to east to south-easterly winds.
On Sunday, it will be mostly dry with some sunny spells and the odd shower in the southwest.
The forecast differs greatly to that in the UK, where meteorologists were expecting temperatures to drop below freezing, with cold weather alerts being issued for much of the country.
However, Met Éireann said that Ireland would stay predominantly milder and unaffected by the UK's forecast.
The forecast came after Met Éireann reported that it was the driest autumn in 13 years.
Knock Airport in Mayo recording the driest autumn in its history with just 233.9mm of rainfall.
November temperatures in Dublin dropped between 0C and -5C several times in the latter part of the month, while lowest temperatures ranged between 0C and 5C for the most part in the first half of the month.
In contrast, Co Mayo saw a relatively milder month with lowest temperatures ranging between 5C and 12C and temperatures only dropped below 0C twice.
