Winter is coming! Ireland can expect 0-degree and minus temperatures this week

Carl Kinsella

Tonight is going to be freezing. Literally.

Met Éireann’s latest forecast suggests that the earliest part of this week is going to see some very cold nights.

According to the service’s latest forecast, Monday night will see “Minimum temperatures of minus 2 to plus 3 degrees generally with frost forming but a few degrees milder under cloudier skies in the west and southwest. Fresh southeasterly breezes along the west coast but lighter elsewhere”.

Tuesday night won’t be much better, and we can expect: “Cold with clear spells in many places. But some showers in Atlantic coastal areas. Lowest temperatures zero to plus 3 C., with patches of mist, fog and frost”.

That dreaded minus will creep back in on Wednesday, and Ireland will see: “Cold, lowest temperatures -1 to plus 2 C., generally with some frost and icy patches”.

The “patches of mist, fog and frost clearing with some sunny spells developing in many places for a time” can also be expected during the daytime, so it looks like we’re in for a fairly chilly week.
