Ireland snow update as winter set to take grip with frost and ice
It's not exactly time to break out the skiis and snow-shoes – but after all of the rain over the past week – three Yellow Alerts for Cork alone and Orange with Storm Claudia – we're about to go into the deep freeze.
The latest weather models show temps falling to freezing or just below overnight for much of the country starting from tomorrow night (Sunday) on, with daytime highs also in the 6-10C range for much of Munster from Monday onwards. It will feel far colder but also drier, as a more stable high pressure system ends the almost constant downpours of the week just gone.
Cold Snap to Follow Wet First Half to November
After an exceptionally wet start to November, high pressure is set to bring more settled but noticeably colder weather across Ireland in the coming days.
Heavy rain on Friday and into the early hours of Saturday led to flooding in parts of the Midlands, the south and the southeast. Johnstown Castle in Wexford reported 66.9 mm of rainfall on Friday, which was its second wettest day on record. The station has recorded 176.2 mm so far this month, a figure that is already 53 per cent higher than its average for all of November.
Strong winds linked to Storm Claudia were recorded at several locations, including gusts of 93 km/h at Dublin Airport and 87 km/h at Casement Aerodrome.

Before that icy front hits, temperatures could drop by over 40 degrees compared to the mild weather we've experienced recently, with an arctic blast pushing down from the north next week.
The ECMWF weather modelling system has shown a massive beast from the east system that is likely to push west, with an exact timeline shared as well.
