'It's going to feel much colder' - Another minus zero cold snap to hit Ireland next week

Another cold snap is heading for Ireland with nighttime temperatures set to fall below zero next week. 

That's according to Met Éireann, which confirmed Ireland will soon be hit with more cold conditions despite a brief respite from the recent wet and windy weather. 

Met Éireann meteorologist Liz Coleman explained: "It’s going to feel much colder than it has recently, with daytime temperatures in the low single figures and nighttime temperatures falling below zero in most areas.

"Widespread frost is expected with some ice, although generally dry conditions will limit ice formation to mainly areas of standing water or run off. Nevertheless, do take care while out and about." 

Although conditions will be cold, it will also be mainly dry with some sunny spells. 

Liz continued: "There will be showers at times in the north and west over the weekend and in the east through next week but rainfall amounts will be low. So a lot of dry weather in the forecast. 

"The cold temperatures coupled with near calm conditions means fog will also be a feature of our weather, particularly over the weekend. Dense fog patches are likely on Saturday and Sunday night.

"With little wind to clear the fog, it may linger into the daytime in some areas leading to tricky travelling conditions. Our forecasters will be monitoring the situation and will issue warnings as required."
