Weather springs a surprise for March

March, as the saying goes, suddenly came ‘in a like a lion’ but whether it will go ‘out like a lamb’ is too early to guess, even for our most experienced forecasters. 

Although spring has finally arrived, the current wintry spell looks set to stay at least until the middle of the week.

Met Éireann has issued a weather warning for widespread snow and ice for the next few days. The snow and ice won’t last, however, as mild air will return to most counties which could see temperatures of 15C by next weekend.
