Met Eireann Ireland weather as 'falls of snow' to bucket down in urgent warning

Falls of sleet and snow will bucket down all over Ireland this week as a five-day warning remains in place for the whole country.

Thursday will be a mix of sunny spells with isolated showers but despite this it will wait mainly dry for the day.

Temperatures of 6C will drop overnight making way for wintry showers and -3C conditions with frost developing in some areas.  

Met Eireann warns that it will turn colder until the end of the weekend with weather conditions becoming "increasingly wintry for the rest of the week".

They add "risk of frost and icy conditions, with falls of sleet or snow at times" as the alert remains in place from midnight on Wednesday until 11:59pm on Sunday night.

But the possibility of snow will not just end there as Met Eireann warns on Tuesday that "rain will spread from the west into Dublin, possibly falling as sleet or snow for a time as it meets the colder air".

Highest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees with light breezes. Friday night will be very cold with frost and icy patches developing. Some fog patches also. Most areas will be dry. However, wintry showers will continue in the northwest overnight. Lowest temperatures of -4 to 0 degrees."
