Ireland’s first cold blast looks set to arrive later this month as an Atlantic frontal system brings rain, wind, and potential weather warnings.
Despite the brief wintery arrival, the majority of the month will be dominated by a high-pressure system - meaning things will be relatively mild for the time of year temperature-wise.
According to Met Eireann’s long-range forecast, week one of October from Monday 3 to Sunday 9 will see high pressure centred to the south of Ireland with low pressure further north.
