Today, Thursday will be cold and cloudy but dry, with highest temperature of 4 to 7 degrees.

After sunset, it will be dry and calm with a mix of cloud and clear spells, as temperatures dip to -3 to +3 degrees, with a slight to sharp frost expected.

The outlook for Friday is “dull with limited bright or sunny spells” according to forecasters.

Temperatures will drop again on Friday night, to between -4 to +2 degrees, allowing for a slight to sharp frost to set in.

The good news is Saturday will be mainly dry with a mix of cloud and sunny spells. The odd spot of drizzle may affect southern fringes, with highest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees, and a slight to severe frost is expected again after dark.

Met Éireann says it will stay “very cold into next week” so keep that in mind when you’re making plans.
