Despite recent mild weather, Met Éireann is reminding homeowners to be ready to deal with wintry conditions as we approach December.
The Government’s new Winter Ready Plan will be launched later today and includes tips on how to be prepared for floods and cold snaps as well road safety and health advice.
Head of forecasting at Met Éireann, Evelyn Cusack, says households can take action now to prepare for colder conditions in the future:
"Starting with yourself and then moving around your home all the preparations that you can make, I mean very simple things. Do you know external electricity like do you know where that is? You know if you've a dripping tap outside for example, get that fixed now's the time to get it fixed from the weather is lovely and mild."
