Ireland is in for below-freezing temperatures next week as forecasts show a major drop on the way — predicted to head as low as –12°C in some counties.
Met Éireann’s forecast for the week ahead says it is due to be “very cold” in the second week of December; however, rainfall amounts are due to be below average.
There will be many clear spells tonight, with isolated showers continuing in the east of the country. Lowest temperatures will range from –1 to +4 degrees with frost expected.
Things are due to stay dry in many areas with sunny spells, and isolated showers on Sunday, mainly in the eastern half of the country.
Some of these showers may turn to sleet over hills and mountains, and highest temperatures of 5 to 7 degrees are due.
As for the major change from next week, Munster is expected to avoid the harshest of the downturn, but according to Weather Alerts Ireland, the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts) model is showing there is potential to be as low as –12°C in parts of Derry and Antrim on Friday morning. …

IIRC, Celsius originally had 0 as the boiling point, and 100 as the freezing point.
Break out the coal.
Great weather to live in one of those cute stone cottages.
I know. That’s cold for me too.
I’ve been reading a ton of trivia, and I’m losing my social skills.
That I did not know, and have learned something new on FR again.
10.4 F....that isnt too bad. its the wind that makes me feel cold when its that low, and lower, like a few days ago.
Oh, I know the answer.
“Alex, what is global warming?”

Ugh, I can’t even imagine the hell (frozen hell) of that temp. I got frostbite in my hands years ago and foolishly tried to defrost them near a car heater and holy cow, the pain was unreal, like getting smashed in the hands by a sledgehammer.
Minus 40.
I remember Centigrade but I believe it’s the same as Celsius.
Yep.
Post #12 got both. The other scale is Rankine.
Those are the same.
they are hyperventilating over 10 degrees? That’s a balmy day for us in the winter months! Try 32 below zero f with 45 mph winds and working outdoors all day! (Course we don’t get those days/weeks as much anymore, but we used to get them regularly) And there are places even worse than that- I remember fishing on a day that was -40 f (no wind) and beign as snug as a bug in a rug with my Eddie Bauer Down Filled Jacket on- sitting on a 5 gallon pail fishing for perch- for hours- (Course we got to warm up cutting more holes with auger as we moved from spot to spot)
I don’t know where you live, but it sounds terrible…
