Ireland is set to experience another cold snap this week with temperatures expected to drop as low as -3C. While this follows a series of harsh weather events, including heavy snow and Storm Eowyn, a high-pressure system is expected to bring mostly calm and dry conditions. Daytime temperatures will remain above freezing, but motorists and early morning commuters are advised to exercise caution due to frost, mist, ice, and fog.
Ireland is bracing for another cold snap this week, with temperatures expected to drop as low as -3C. Following a series of harsh weather events, including a heavy snowstorm and the devastating Storm Eowyn , which left thousands without power, the country is facing another winter chill. However, this time, there's a glimmer of hope.
While frost, freezing temperatures, and mist are on the horizon, a high-pressure system is set to bring mostly calm and dry conditions throughout the week and into the weekend. This means no major storms, heavy rain, or disruptive snow are predicted in the near future. Daytime temperatures will remain above freezing, mitigating the risk of a full-blown 'big freeze'. Nevertheless, motorists and early morning commuters are advised to exercise caution due to the possibility of frost, mist, ice, and fog.Met Eireann, Ireland's national forecaster, said: 'Largely dry for the rest of the week and the weekend as high pressure dominates the weather over Ireland.
