Sadly, the unusually mild weather we’ve been experiencing over the past few weeks is coming to an end as freezing conditions from the Arctic are currently making their way south.
It’s to that time of year again when we dust off the woolly hats, scarves and chap stick (if you haven’t already), as Arctic conditions are set to grip the nation next week.
Temperatures are set to drop as low as 3 to 6 degrees during the day with lowest night time temperatures coming in at -5 degrees.
According to Met Éireann, “current indications suggest that the rest of next week will be very cold with mainly northerly breezes. Daytime temperatures will range from about 3 to 6 degrees. The nights will be very cold with lowest temperatures of -5 to 0 degrees and with widespread severe frosts. There’ll be a good deal of dry weather, but some wintry showers also, mainly in coastal counties”
As for the rest of this weekend, Saturday should stay fairly dry with only light showers in Ulster, while Sunday night/Monday morning will be wet and wild for most of the country.
