Met Eireann has issued a Status Yellow warning for Ireland as cold weather and fog are expected to impact travel conditions this week
The fog could make driving tricky, so be careful out there. It’s going to be a drizzly start to the week, especially in Cork. The weather is expected to turn colder starting tomorrow night.
Frosty mornings are on the way, and we might see some unsettled weather by the weekend. By Friday, we could face strong winds and heavy rain, possibly turning to sleet or snow in some areas.
Today, expect fog to linger in the morning, with patchy rain across the south and east. The fog will clear up, giving way to some hazy sunshine later. Highs will be around 8 to 10 degrees.
Tonight, it’ll get cloudy with more rain and drizzle. Some areas might see dense fog again, with temperatures dropping to between 1 and 5 degrees, so watch out for frost.
Tomorrow morning will start misty or foggy, with rain in Cork. But don’t worry, it should clear up by midday, leading to some sunny spells. Highs will be around 6 to 8 degrees.
Overnight, expect dry weather with clear skies and scattered showers, especially in the west and north. More fog will develop, and it could get chilly with lows between -1 and +3 degrees.
Wednesday looks brighter, with fog clearing up for sunny spells and scattered showers. Highs will be around 5 to 8 degrees. The night will start dry but will turn breezy with rain moving in from the west.
Thursday morning will be wet, but the rain should clear up by the afternoon, leaving scattered showers and some sunshine. It’ll be blustery with highs of 5 to 9 degrees.
Friday’s forecast is a bit uncertain, but it looks like it’ll be very windy with possible gale-force winds. Heavy rain is expected, which might turn to sleet or snow in some places. The rain will clear up later, but the weekend looks unsettled too.
