It was absolutely baltic in some parts of Ireland last night | JOE is the voice of Irish people at home and abroad
But it was similarly cold in Casement Aerodrome in Dublin at -7.9 degrees and Mount Dillon in Roscommon at -7.7 degrees. Meanwhile it was warmer - in comparison at least - in the west of the country with Belmullet in Mayo recorded a low of 0.9 degrees and Mace Head in Galway sank to 0.6 degrees. Met Éireann said it will be very cold for the rest of Saturday with ice on untreated surfaces and temperatures remaining below freezing in many areas well into the day. This could lead to some treacherous road conditions so motorists are advised be aware of the ice on untreated surfaces.
