Yellow warnings for snow, ice, and frost cover all Ireland counties, with temperatures dropping to −4°C and travel disruptions possible this weekend, Met Éireann said.
- Met Éireann and the UK Met Office issued Status Yellow warnings covering every county in Ireland on January 2, 2026, ahead of weekend snow and ice.
- A shift to colder air will push temperatures to as low as-4C and bring wintry showers, sleet and snow particularly across Ulster and Connacht.
- Donegal was placed under a local Status Yellow snow-ice warning starting 8pm Friday until 11am Saturday, while Munster and Leinster counties face low temperature and ice warnings, and Cavan, Monaghan, Connacht and Louth have snow-ice alerts.
- Road users face slippery surfaces and reduced visibility as forecasters expect 1-3cm accumulations by Monday, with 5-10cm possible on higher routes like Glenshane Pass.
- Into next week, Met Éireann expects the cold snap to persist through Monday, with temperatures easing slightly on Tuesday as outbreaks of rain and cloud arrive from the west.
