A freezing Arctic weather blast will see Ireland’s recent mild temperatures plummet as subzero conditions including snow engulf the country.
Met Eireann says temperatures could drop as low as -6C in places, with wintry showers of hail, sleet and snow forecast from today and lasting well into next week.
The imminent cold weather has prompted the national forecaster to issue a nationwide ‘Winter Weather’ advisory, which lasts until noon on Thursday.
