Meteorologist Holly O\u2019Neill said with such clear weather it might even be possible to see Mr Claus tonight\n<\/p>\n
With one more sleep until the big day, it is perfect weather tonight for the most famous resident of the North Pole.<\/p>\n
Christmas Eve will be a largely bright day, with spells of sunshine developing for many, but it will feel chilly and highest daytime temperatures will be between 6 and 9 degrees.<\/p>\n
Meteorologist Holly O\u2019Neill told the Irish Independent that with such clear weather, it might even be possible to see Mr Claus tonight.<\/p>\n
“These clear conditions will continue into tonight, with excellent flying conditions for Santa and his reindeer to deliver presents to all the children around Ireland.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve told Santa it\u2019s going to be quite chilly tonight with lowest temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees, but he\u2019s reassured us that all the cookies and milk will help keep him warm.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder clear skies, it might be possible to catch a peek of Santa as he travels over us tonight, so keep an eye out!\u201d<\/p>\n
With the cold weather this evening, frost and icy patches will form on untreated surfaces.<\/p>\n
It will be less cold and mostly frost-free along the east coast, though, with the lowest temperatures there of around 1 to 5 degrees in a mostly moderate east to northeast breeze.<\/p>\n
Christmas Day will be a dry and bright day for many with sunny spells for most.<\/p>\n
It may be cloudier at times near eastern and southern coasts.<\/p>\n
It will again be chilly, with daytime highs of around 4 to 7 degrees and feeling colder, especially along eastern and southern coasts with an added wind chill effect.<\/p>\n
It will be cold and mostly clear on Thursday night, with just patchy cloud, mainly in the east. There will be lowest temperatures of -3 to +2 degrees generally, with frost and icy patches forming on untreated surfaces, and some patches of mist and fog too.<\/p>\n
Again, it will be less cold near the east coast with lowest temperatures ranging from 3 to 6 degrees. Friday, St. Stephen’s Day, will be another dry and bright day with spells of winter sunshine.<\/p>\n
Cloudy periods may occur in the east and south, though.<\/p>\n
The highest daytime temperatures will range between 4 to 8 degrees. Friday night will be dry and cold under variable cloud and clear spells.<\/p>\n
There will be lowest temperatures of -1 to +4 degrees generally, but again, less cold near the east coast. Saturday will continue dry with a mix of cloud and spells of sunshine.<\/p>\n
The highest temperatures during the daytime will be around 6 to 9 degrees.<\/p>\n
There will be variable cloud and clear spells on Saturday night with lowest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees.<\/p>\n
A similar day is expected on Sunday but winds will be lighter.<\/p>\n
There will be daytime highs of 4 to 8 degrees.<\/p>\n
Frost will then form on Sunday night, where skies remain clear, with lowest temperatures of -1 to +3 degrees. Looking ahead, high pressure is set to continue to dominate into early next week, in the lead up to the New Year.<\/p>\n
However, under clearer skies, frost will be more widespread, with the added hazard of fog and freezing fog too, which could be slow to clear by day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meteorologist Holly O\u2019Neill said with such clear weather it might even be possible to see Mr Claus tonight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-209899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
