Status Yellow: Low Temperature and Ice Warning
Met Éireann has issued a Status Yellow – Low Temperature/Ice Warning for Ireland, highlighting the very cold conditions expected across the country. Temperatures are forecast to plummet to -3 degrees or below in many areas, leading to widespread frost and ice.
What to Expect
As the mercury drops, the warning brings potential impacts that everyone should be aware of:
- Hazardous Travelling Conditions: Frost and ice on roads and footpaths will make travel risky, so take extra care if you’re driving or walking.
- Animal Welfare Issues: Ensure that pets and livestock are safe, warm, and have access to water as temperatures dip below freezing.
Staying Safe During the Cold Snap
- For Travellers: Allow extra time for journeys, drive slowly, and watch for black ice on untreated surfaces.
- For Homeowners: Protect your water pipes from freezing and ensure heating systems are functioning properly.
- For Pet Owners and Farmers: Provide adequate shelter for animals and check water supplies regularly.
Thank You, Met Éireann
