Heating orders continue into summer

With winterish temperatures persisting at night orders of home heating oil and coal are continuing long after they normally would.

According to Met Éireann there has been frost on the ground in the morning.

This is “rare” in mid May, according to Harm Luijkx. “We are just in the middle of a flow of cold air at the moment. There is sun during the day and that warms temperatures but once the sky clears, there is a noticeable drop in temperatures,” he said.
