Ireland is experiencing a cold spell with snow, ice, and frost. Met Eireann predicts slightly milder temperatures in the coming days, with some rain and drizzle expected.
This week Ireland has been experiencing a bitterly cold weather event with snow, ice, frost and severe fog falling across most of the country, causing school closures, traffic and travel disruption and water outages for thousands. Now, Ireland 's national forecaster Met Eireann has shared their weather predictions for the coming days. While it's certainly not time to pack away your winter coat, it seems temperatures may be slightly higher than the freezing cold nights we've been having.
Friday 10th January Very cold across most of the country tomorrow morning, with widespread frost and ice or black ice. Cloud and rain in the southwest will slowly move northeast through the day, turning to sleet or snow on high ground. It will stay dry in Ulster and northeast Leinster. Highest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees generally but not as cold in the southwest with moderate to fresh east to southeast winds developing. Friday Night Quite an overcast night with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Perhaps not as cold as previous nights either with lowest temperatures of 0 to 4 degrees with light winds. Saturday: Staying rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle gradually clearing away to the north. Some isolated bright or sunny spells will develop and it should stay dry through the afternoon. Light southerly breezes and highs of 4 to 8 degrees. Saturday Night: A cloudy night overall but mostly dry too. Some patchy drizzle about western coasts but it will be a milder night than previously too. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees with light southerly breezes. Some mist and fog patches will form overnight, quite dense in the southwest for a time. Sunday: Another rather overcast day with freshening southerly breeze. Rain will gradually develop along western counties during the afternoon but it should hold dry across much of the country through to the evening. Highest temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees. Next Week: Current indications are for high pressure to develop to the southeast of the country but a few frontal systems will clip western and northern counties too. Overall rather mixed with cloud and drizzle along Atlantic coastal fringes but drier and perhaps sunnier in the southeast
