Including the lowest temperature recorded in Ireland since 2016.
We hardly need to tell you that Wednesday night was absolutely freezing and with a status red weather warning in place until Friday afternoon, it could get worse before it gets better.
Temperatures plummeted all over Ireland, with Met Éireann reporting that the lowest temperature recorded at one of their weather stations was -7 in Cork Airport, the lowest temperature recorded in Ireland since 2016.
Knock Airport in Mayo wasn’t much warmer, having recorded a temperature of -6.8, while temperatures of -5 and below were recorded in stations in Carlow, Roscommon, Dublin, Galway, Clare and Kerry.

Thursday night is expected to be the most severe night of this week as far as the adverse conditions are concerned, with blizzards and severe thunderstorms thrown into the mix along with the heavy snow and ice the country already has to contend with.
A status red weather warning has been extended to the entire country until Friday afternoon,
schools and colleges have been closed and if you do need to travel, keep an eye on
the roads most severely affected by the conditions before getting behind the wheel.
