Trick or treaters wrap up! Cold snap likely to bring Halloween night chill

Trick or treaters are being warned to wrap up warm as a cold snap is likely to bring a chill on Halloween night.

Last night parts of Ulster experienced an unseasonably early dusting of snow on higher ground.

Over the next few evenings, temperatures look set to fall below normal for this time of year.

According to Met Eireann, Wednesday (Halloween night), will see some showers in the afternoon with temperatures ranging between seven and 10 degrees.

However as the evening draws in, showers will clear and temperatures will fall. The national forecaster says there will be lowest temperatures of minus one to two degrees with some frost and icy patches possible.

"It is looking like a chilly few days," said forecaster Matthew Martin.

"Temperatures [are] three or four degrees below the norm at the moment.

"For tonight and Monday night we'd expect quite a widespread frost across the north and east, and again on Tuesday night. And a slight frost is possible on Wednesday night.

"So it is going to be quite chilly and obviously, take care on the roads."
