A “frosty” New Year’s Eve has been forecast by Met Éireann as conditions are expected to become very cold from next weekend. Lowest temperatures will dip to between -2 and 2 degrees in the north and west of the country, where frost is expected on Monday night. Sunny spells are expected to develop throughout the day, which will remain dry but “chilly” amid temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees. Atlantic coasts will experience outbreaks of rain and drizzle that night, with drier spells expected elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of -2 to 3 degrees are expected as many ring in the new year.
