Met Eireann has forecast a cold snap this week as an Arctic airmass sets in with several days of subzero temperatures, widespread frost and showers of sleet, snow and hail.
Temperatures are set to plummet to below freezing again tonight with snow expected to arrive in northern and western areas from Wednesday.
This comes as Met Eireann has issued a nationwide weather advisory that lasts until Saturday, which reads: “Very cold this week as an Arctic airmass sets in, bringing sharp to severe frosts and icy stretches on roads. Showers of hail, sleet, and snow will occur during the second half of the week.”
