Munster, along with the rest of Ireland, is bracing for some rather wintry weather conditions, including frost, ice and heavy rain, as we welcome December.
Temperatures are expected to drop to -2C in certain parts of the west of Ireland tonight, with widespread frost and ice, particularly in more exposed areas. We’re entering a period of highly unsettled weather, with potential wintry showers of sleet and even snow over high ground in the days ahead.
However, before all this, we should enjoy some bright spells across the west today, as early rain clears away southwards, giving us a few fine, dry and sunny hours before temperatures plummet tonight.
Here’s the full forecast for Connacht
