Met Eireann has warned that it will be "very cold" this coming week, with a risk of snow on the cards from Wednesday onwards as an Arctic blast is set to engulf the country.
Today is set to be a cloudy, cool day but from Monday wintry conditions will be felt across the country as a passing flow of lower-temperature air will cause subzero temperatures. According to Met Eireann, mist, fog, frost, subzero temperatures, ice and wintry showers are on the way for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The national forecaster has indicated that there is currently some “uncertainty” for later in the week, as milder air possibly moves in from the south west. However, latest forecasts indicate rain could fall in many areas in the south on Wednesday, which will fall as sleet or snow as it meets the cold air over the country.
