Cold Snap from the 13th of December?
The 13th of December is still more than three days out, and therefore weather predictions are not reliable. However, most of the forecasts models seem to agree that the UK and Ireland will see some fairly cold, clear weather starting from next week, and lasting for at least a few days - temperatures dipping below freezing overnight, and not rising much past 4°C during daylight.
Some of the weather discussion boards are hoping for snow in Ireland during this period. Much as I’d like to agree, I don’t think we’ll see snow this side of January, but we’ll certainly see some hard frosts. Weather should remain fairly clear in and around these temperatures, so ice on roads shouldn’t be a major problem - but frost itself can be dangerous enough, so be careful with travel for Christmas.
