Met Eireann map shows -10C freeze as ‘Troll of Trondheim’ weather monster threatens week-long blitz
A bone-chilling blitz of freezing weather has sent Ireland’s temperatures tumbling in recent days - and it’s set to get even colder.
It comes thanks to a low pressure system from Norway that’s being dubbed the ‘Troll from Trondheim'. Forecasters say a change in pressure patterns put Ireland in the firing line for the chilly weather arriving via the Norwegian Trondheim Fjords.The nationwide Status Yellow alerts last until noon on Sunday, with Met Eireann saying: “Pockets of freezing fog are expected, causing potentially hazardous travel conditions.
Meanwhile, giving its forecast for today, Met Eireann said: “Staying very cold today with some lingering patches of frost, ice and freezing fog. Many areas will remain dry and bright through the day, although occasional wintry showers will push in to Atlantic coastal areas, mainly falling as rain or sleet. Highest temperatures of 1C to 5C in light westerly or variable breezes.
“Sunday night will be dry in most areas. However, wintry showers will affect coastal areas of Leinster early in the night and will also develop in northern and western counties overnight. Patches of freezing fog will develop inland. It will be very cold with a widespread severe frost and widespread frost and ice. Lowest temperatures of -6C to -1C.”
