"Met Éireann warned that temperatures are set to plummet over the coming days with the mercury potentially dropping to as low as minus 3C. Ireland will, however, avoid the worst of the Arctic weather sweeping over Europe for the New Year celebrations with temperatures in parts of Scotland set to drop to a frigid minus 9C over the coming days."
"Met Éireann's long-range forecast is for Ireland to enjoy largely dry conditions into early January though it will prove colder than normal with the risk of ice, frost and freezing fog. Some inland areas along higher ground could see overnight temperatures drop to minus 3C or even lower. There is also a chance that some areas of higher ground in northern areas could see snow flurries."
Temperatures across Ireland are expected to fall, with some inland higher ground potentially reaching as low as minus 3C. Ireland will largely avoid the most severe Arctic conditions affecting parts of Europe, though parts of Scotland could fall to about minus 9C. New Year's Eve will be cold but mainly dry, with fog or freezing fog slow to clear and daytime highs of 2C to 6C in a light variable breeze. Long-range forecasts indicate colder-than-normal conditions into early January, with risks of ice, frost, freezing fog and possible snow flurries on higher ground. Motorists are advised to check lights, tyres and windscreen wash and allow extra travel time.
