“Valid: Tuesday 02 April 2019 00:01 to Tuesday 02 April 2019 13:00.”

The forecast for today also reads:

“Frost and ice clearing this morning to leave a cold and blustery day with sunny spells and widespread squally showers, some with hail and thunder. Falls of sleet and snow are possible also, mainly on high ground. Highest temperatures of just 5 to 8 degrees and feeling colder in strengthening northwesterly winds.”

“Showers will continue to feed down across the country overnight in brisk northwesterly winds. Further wintry falls are possible with the risk of hail and thunder. However, the showers will tend to become confined to western and northern coastal counties later in the night. Cold overnight with frost and ice forming in sheltered spots. Lowest temperatures of -1 to +3 degrees.”

So yeah, don’t go putting away your winter woolies just yet!
