Ireland is facing a frigid start to 2025, with temperatures predicted to drop as low as -8C on New Year's Day.
Ireland is braced for a freezing start to 2025, with temperatures set to plunge as low as -8C on New Year’s Day as the country is engulfed by an Arctic blast from the north. Following a mild Christmas, current forecasts suggest the country will spend the opening days of the new year in the ice box, with snow likely in the north and north-west. The chill will begin on New Year’s Eve, which will get off to a cold start.
However, temperatures will plunge as low as -6C that night, and the freezing conditions are likely to persist until Friday, January 3. Weather charts currently suggest that snow is likely to accompany the polar conditions, with chances highest on the night of January 1 into the early hours of the following day. Thursday Outbreaks of rain across north Connacht and Ulster at times today. Elsewhere, it will be mostly cloudy with a few patches of rain and drizzle albeit with plenty of dry weather overall. Highest temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees in moderate south to southwest winds. Mist and fog will affect some coasts and hills, especially in the south. It will be predominantly cloudy tonight with patchy light rain and drizzle, mainly across the west and north of the country. Minimum temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees in light to moderate southerly winds with areas of mist and fog. Friday Another mostly cloudy day on Friday but there'll be a few sunny interludes. Plenty of dry weather overall but with some patches of rain and drizzle, especially in southern and western counties. Highest temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees with moderate south to southwest winds. Mostly cloudy and frost-free on Friday nigh
