Ireland will be engulfed by a swathe of Arctic air this weekend, bringing subzero temperatures and frosty conditions as a ‘Polar front’ sweeps the country.
Temperatures plummeted as low as -2C overnight, with warnings that it will feel cold all weekend amid a “biting cold windchill”.
It comes as the Polar front, the meeting point of airmasses separating the Arctic and northern Europe, is about to plunge southwards across Ireland.
