Freezing now and freezing tonight

It's freezing now and the forecast is for more of the same for the rest of the evening.

Met Éireann says the temperature will drop to -1C this evening and tonight - though it feels colder than that already.

Tomorrow the forecast is for a cloudy day and 2C, and on Friday it's for the same temperature under clear skies and winter sunshine.

For tonight though, stay at home, put on the heating and an extra layer or two.
