With some parts of Ireland having been hit by frosty and icy conditions last weekend and some clubs canceling their usual training rides, snow is forecast for this weekend.
Snowy conditions are expected on Sunday for parts of
Ireland with wintry showers, including snow, set to continue into next Monday
and Tuesday.
Met Eireann is forecasting the worst of the conditions
this Sunday for Ulster and Connacht.
Saturday in Ireland was expected to see patchy rain or drizzle,
especially on Atlantic coasts. The rain was expected to become more persistent
in the evening, extending from the west.
“Clearer conditions, with scattered showers, will follow
from the Atlantic later into Saturday night and during Sunday morning but it
will turn cold,” said Met Eireann, predicting temperatures of 3°C to 6°C.
It added Sunday would be “cold, with a mix of sunny
spells and scattered showers, most of the showers in Connacht, west Ulster and
west Munster”.

showers, mainly over high ground in the west and north.
Maximum temperatures during the day in Sunday were expected to reach 4°C to 8°C in moderate southwesterly breezes, freshening later.
“Sunday night will be very cold, with clear spells and scattered showers, most of them in the western half of the country,” Met Eireann added.
“Many of the showers will be wintry and there is a risk
of thunder, mainly in Atlantic coastal areas.”
Minimum temperatures were forecast to hit 0°C with a risk of frost and icy patches late on Sunday.
The cold conditions were forecast to persist into early next week, with a risk of frost and icy patches into Monday and Tuesday.
