Ireland is in for a cold snap next week with overnight temperatures set to dip as low as -2C.
Weather forecasters are warning of a dramatic 18-degree swing with a cold blast set to turn spring sunshine to freezing conditions.
The Baltic “sharp blast of cold air” will hit on Monday, according to Met Eireann, and could last for several days. Temperatures have fallen from the balmy midweek highs of 16C and things are going to get worse before they get better, weather experts warned.
