A COLD TEMPERATURE weather warning will be in place in the east of the country for St. Patrick’s Day as Met Éireann predicts a “very cold” day and night.
The Status Yellow weather warning is in place for Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan and continues for all of Saturday and Sunday.
The forecaster is advising people in these areas to expect low temperatures, snow showers and some snow accumulations, mainly on Saturday night and into Sunday.
The national forecast for St. Patrick’s Day is a bleak one.
“St. Patrick’s Day will be a cold and windy day that will continue to get colder through the day with scattered showers progressively turning more wintry,” Met Éireann has said.
Highs of only 1 to 3 degrees in the eastern half of the country, 4 to 6 degrees in the west. Blustery easterly winds will add a significant wind chill.
Scattered wintry showers are being forecast to continue into Saturday night with lowest temperatures falling to between -1 to -4 degrees.
Sunday is expected to be much the same with widespread showers dying out towards the end of the day. Sub-zero temperatures in some areas are again to be expected on Sunday night.
The weather is expected to improve somewhat on Monday and be mostly dry “with just the odd wintry flurry”.

@Honeybadger197: I try everything to avoid football and the s#it# and here we are trying to get a football debate going. Feck off @Honeybadger there’s enough story’s in the past week to keep you happy.
@Alan Scott: That would be rugby Honeybadger is talking about and yes victory will be sweet!

@Alan Scott: Eh, the rugby Alan.

@Honeybadger197: on a technical note its correct name historically is actually Rugby football.
@FanEMcGash: Go away you Idiot
@Shelly Levine: I don’t give a S#I#.
@Honeybadger197: don’t count me in your “us” I won’t be watching a bunch of silver spoon in the mouth self entitled idiots, not to mention the Irish captain going to court to show support for at the very least a bunch of sleazy low life’s
@Bart: You would be a great laugh at a party i’d say!
Was it not established his appearance in court that day was because “he was legally instructed to do so”
Also, self entitled? Care to expand further on that comment? What makes them self entitled?
Why are they idiots?
What silver spoon?
Your post seems little more than a bunch of random words thrown together with little to any thought behind them.
@Gavin Conran: Was he subpoenaed to attend ?
@Gavin Conran: Sometimes its best to avoid drivel like this. The poor lad is bitter and has a considerable chip on both shoulders.
@Alan Scott: Since when is Rugby called football.
Better than it raining (in my opinion) plus will make for a great memory and photos
That’s a Donnybrook forecast. It’s lovely here in the west.

Liam Cunningham says “winter is coming”
I’ll be in my bed all day eating chocolate watching movies and chilling with my coola boola gf. Won’t be moving.
Oh the drama……

At least we’ll have an outdoor fridge to keep the cans and flagans cold
