Dublin Airport has said it is spraying its main runway “as a preventative measure”. TheJournal.ie has contacted the aiport to see if any other flights have been affected.

There are currently a number of weather warnings in place:

Met Éireann has said it will remain cold this evening, with scattered showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow, some of them heavy and thundery, mainly in Atlantic coastal counties. Temperatures will dip to below freezing in certain areas tonight.

It says tomorrow will be a cold, bright day, with good sunny spells in most parts.

There’ll also be scattered showers, mostly of rain, hail and sleet, with some snow – mainly on high ground. Maximum temperatures will reach three to six degrees Celsius.

Is there snow where you are in Ireland? Send your photos to pictures@thejournal.ie.
