Ireland is braced for a freezing Arctic blast that will see the recent mild temperatures plummet below zero.
Met Eireann has warned that the weather will change suddenly from Sunday evening when the current stormy conditions give way to showers of sleet, snow and hail.
A ‘Winter Weather’ advisory has been issued for the entire country, which reads: “Turning cold across the country between Sunday evening and Thursday morning as an Arctic airflow becomes established, bringing sharp to severe frosts and icy stretches on roads and footpaths. Some showers of hail, sleet and snow are expected.”
