Nationwide weather advisory issued as wintry conditions and sub-zero temperatures on way

Met Éireann has issued a weather advisory for the entire country, which will kick in at midnight.

IT’S SET TO be a cold and wintry week ahead with a weather advisory set to kick in at midnight.

Met Éireann has issued a weather advisory for Ireland, warning that it will turn colder tomorrow with conditions becoming increasingly wintry for the rest of the week. 

There will be a risk of frost and icy conditions, with falls of sleet or snow at times. 

The advisory kicks in at midnight tonight and will remain in place until Sunday night. 

A Status Yellow rainfall warning is also in place for Connacht, Longford, Louth, Westmeath, Meath, Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan until 9pm tonight. 

Met Éireann has warned that heavy rainfall will lead to accumulations of 30 to 50mm, with higher accumulations in mountainous areas. This will bring a risk of some river and localised flooding. 

Looking at the general forecast, outbreaks of rain are expected to continue in many areas of the country tonight, turning to sleet or snow at times over Ulster. 

The rain may turn heavy in southern coastal counties before dawn. 

Tomorrow morning, rain will become confined to the east and south where it may be heavy for a time near southeastern coasts. 

The western half of the country will become bright, but scattered wintry showers of rain or sleet are forecast. 

It’s due to remain cloudy in the east as rain lingers in Leinster, again turning to sleet or snow at times in the afternoon. 

Temperatures are forecast to drop as low as -2 degrees tomorrow night. 

Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures are due to drop to as low as -4 degrees on Friday night.

    Under level5 lockdowns if people stay home they will average 1500 steps per day walking around the house. People should do 10k steps per day. When attending work people typically put up 3000 to 5000 from that activity if the work is non laborious. Now that would be reduced to 1500. This is a real problem. You are short 8.5k steps. To achieve this you need to walk 3km twice a day or walk 6km in one go. Nephet should be giving this advice but now you know it. Get out and start walking. Get 6km to 7km of walking per day to ensure your health is not another victim of this coronavirus. Do it. Start walking today.

    I presume the headline should read 2021 not 2020

    Hopefully it won’t be needed around late Feb/March once the vulnerable start getting vaccinated en masse, This extension just gives comfort to those who will be signing off and returning to work in December.

    @David Lee: unlikely. None of the vaccines have met EMA approval, and that won’t happen till the end of December for the first lot. The first batches will be few in number, so vulnerable people won’t even start to be vaccinated by then. At that point you can expect some of our frontline workers to be vaccinated, but that’s about it.

    I’m not sure about taxing the PUP but the way they have set up how they are going to tax the TWSS is all wrong. It forces employees who were working to take a pay cut.

    Great, so the people still waiting for the errors that occurred with the PUP since March will be waiting until at least next April for it to be rectified.
