The country is set for a cold snap from tomorrow evening, with frost, icy roads, and temperatures of –3 degrees Celsius on the way, according to Met Éireann. The national weather forecaster said tomorrow will be cold, before the weather clears up through Thursday and Friday. The weather will get worse from Wednesday evening, with temperatures dropping and ice and fog forecast. The spokesman said the reduction was due to the emergency cold weather strategy rolled out by homeless charities and the Dublin Region Homeless Executive. The cold snap is due to ease up later in the week.
