Dublin weather today: With a snow & ice warning in place, how are things looking for the capital?

Wrap up warm because a Status Yellow weather warning is in place for all of Ireland.

The alert was due to expire yesterday morning but forecasters extended it until 10am today due to the freezing conditions

A Met Eireann forecaster said: “Scattered wintry showers of hail, sleet and snow with some accumulations, especially on higher ground, and icy stretches on roads and footpaths.”

The morning will start off cold and frosty but a bright day with sunny spells and a few passing showers is in store.

It’ll be cold with temperatures ranging between 4C and 6C.

But tonight will see freezing temperatures of 0C to -2C with icy patches expected.

Tomorrow will be dry with sunny spells and temperatures of 3C to 5C.

While there is not further forecast for Dublin, this is what the national outlook says:

“Tuesday night will be mainly dry and very cold with lowest temperatures of 0 to -2C with frost and icy stretches forming quickly after dark.

“Some mist and fog patches forming for a time also. Later in the night Southeast winds will freshen near Atlantic coasts bringing rain to the Southwest by dawn.

“On Wednesday, the rain and freshening Southeast winds will spread up over the country reaching most places by mid-afternoon.

“Western counties should turn drier again later in the day but heavier pulses of rain look likely to feed into Eastern parts during the evening. There'll be a rise in temperatures to between 7C and 9C.

“Wednesday night looks to be a wet night for most places with extensive hill fog and lowest temperatures of 5C or 6C, with brighter drier conditions following for Thursday in light Southeasterly breezes and temperatures of 8C to 10C. Turning cold on Thursday night with some ground frost.”
