For March 12th there was some snow at low levels in Ulster and North Connaught but this should be all that there is now though there is still a slight risk of the white stuff for March 13th. The South and East have been considerably milder with temperatures of about 8 to 10c compared to the 2 to 4c in the North and West.
There is unlikely to be any more snow until the end of March when there is a risk of some more wintry showers as a High Pressure that was over Ireland shifts to the Southwest. Temperatures for the rest of the month will fluctuate also between mild in the midteens to colder single figures though nothing exceptional. It will probably end up as a month that was slightly milder than normal, slightly drier than normal and slightly sunnier than normal for Ireland.
