"Temperatures between 4C and 8C are expected, before the weather gets colder for the weekend with sharp to severe frosts developing and some wintry showers mainly affecting the north and northwest. Friday will be a day of sunny spells, with some showers of sleet and snow possibly in the north. Highest temperatures will be between 3 to 7 degrees. Saturday and Sunday are set to be "very cold with wintry showers", mainly in the north and northwest."
""The high pressure is continuing to dominate, the weather is set to be chilly and bright, with some light rain and showers at times," Met Éireann meteorologist Ailís Hankinson said. "It is set to turn colder for the weekend, with a more northerly flow bringing the Arctic air down. "There will be sharp to severe frosts developing and some wintry showers mainly in the north and northwest.""
"Gardaí and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) have urged people to take care with any journeys planned over the coming days. Motorists have been urged to check their lights, tyres and windscreen wash given the potential cold snap and to allow extra time for festive travel. Garda have also urged drivers to be mindful of vulnerable road users as they stressed that their safety crackdown will continue into January."
New Year’s Day will be largely dry with patchy rain and drizzle clearing southwards and good sunny spells expected. Temperatures will range between 4°C and 8°C. Conditions will turn colder for the coming weekend as a more northerly flow brings Arctic air, causing sharp to severe frosts and wintry showers mainly across the north and northwest. Friday will feature sunny spells with possible sleet or snow in the north and highs of 3–7°C. The weekend will be very cold with daytime highs of 2–5°C and sharp overnight frosts. Road users are urged to take care and prepare vehicles.
