Met Eireann issued a Status Yellow Warning for snow and ice valid from 3am this morning to 11pm tonight. 

Cork is under a status yellow low temperature/ice warning until Friday at 12 noon

Cork and the rest of Ireland are under a status yellow - low temperature/ice warning, with the forecaster warning it will remain 'very cold through the week with widespread sharp to severe frosts and icy stretches'.

A COMBINATION of heavy rain and high tide have led to spot flooding in Cork this evening with South Terrace, Union Quay and Morrison's Island particularly affected with the River Lee rising to the edge of its banks.

The mildest weather this week is expected in the south of the country

Met Éireann is warning of the risk of heat stress, especially for the more vulnerable members of the population.

A mixed bag of wind, rain, sunshine and showers is expected in the coming days, the most Irish summer you can imagine. Tomorrow will be mostly dry with a mix of cloud and sunshine although Met Éireann said the odd shower might occur too.

The Met Eireann weather warning stated: “On Sunday and Monday exceptionally warm weather will occur over Ireland with daytime temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees and possibly up to 32 degrees in places on Monday.

Not the weather we were hoping for!

The weather station at Roche's Point and the station at Belmullet in Mayo were the only two weather stations in the country to record up to strong gales last month

Today, will continue to be dry and sunny, with temperatures of 14 to 16 degrees.

He highlighted the importance of accelerating flood defence schemes and ensuring that local flood defence mechanisms are in place and maintained.

Insurance experts have issued advice for protecting homes and cars against tomorrow's frosty conditions
