Frost in Tralee area

mike2084

Hi everybody,

Any thoughts on how bad the frost will get this weekend around North Kerry. I'm in a committee running a Point to Point in the old Tralee racecourse on Sunday and we're a bit worried about frost after all the work that's been put into it. I'd say we could handle -1 or -2 wouldn't want anything much more than that though.

I think there'll be a lot more cloud hanging around in the next few days so that will keep temperatures up. I'd say a 70% chance of no disruptive frost there.

Hi Guys,

We got lucky with the frost in the end thankfully. It wasn't that bad and we had bright sunshine which thawed it pretty quick. Day considered at great success by all involved

Thanks for your forecasts guys much appreciated
