A STATUS YELLOW low temperature warning will take effect for Leinster and Connacht this evening.
Met Éireann has warned a very cold night is ahead with temperatures set to dip as low as minus 4 degrees in the affected areas.
The warning takes effect from 6pm this evening until 11am tomorrow morning.
The forecaster said that temperatures will stay below freezing until mid-morning on Saturday with widespread frost and the risk of icy patches.
“Cold and clear tonight with a widespread sharp to severe frost and icy surfaces.”
The frost will clear by Saturday afternoon with a calm and mostly sunny day expected. Staying cold throughout the day, temperatures will range between 3 to 7 degrees.
Tomorrow night will see temperatures falling back to minus 3 or minus 4 degrees with some fog settling in, mostly in the midlands.
Sunday is expected to start off with a “sharp and severe frost” but overall it will be “dry and sunny with just light breezes”.
Met Éireann has forecast conditions becoming less cold as the week goes on but it will become unsettled with rain, mist and fog by Tuesday.

Gosh it’s winter, who’d have thought it.
@Jun Stone: yep, status warnings for winter conditions erodes the legitimacy of the warning system imo. Tis a bit ridiculous
@Daimhín De Naois: or they say nothing and people wake up to icy conditions and bitch and moan about their been no warning!
@krae: Their warning system is currently structured in a way that causes confusion, it’s currently causing fake warnings as a result.

I’m honestly surprised they didn’t name this warning Operation Mr. Frost or something to that effect.
@Daimhín De Naois: it’s a weather forecast. What is the problem with you lot. Only happy when moaning eh?
@Paul Furey: ahh lighten up Pauline.
Status red warning for massive accumulations of canvassers and outbreaks of some severe b.s heading our way for the next 3 weeks. So far met eireann say theres no fear of any shower telling the truth in the near future
A low temperature warning now that’s a new one on me!!
@Damien Pyne: Yea, It’s dark,dark Orange, But definitely not (No work) Red.
Wouldn’t we all skip Cavan if we had the option?
Mad it’s skipping cavan when it’s going from Leitrim to meath.
Well certainly a touch of global freezing out there tonight .
Ahhh feck off with your status yellow crap, it’s nearly always status yellow or worse.
@Laughable: errrr it’s a weather forecast. Move on if it bothers you.
