First temperatures plummeted. Then we were told to expect milder weather. And now it seems that snow might be on the way after all.
According to The Mirror, Exacta Weather are predicting a very cold spell to the end of the month and snow “events” which could stretch into February.
Forecaster James Madden told the newspaper: “Ireland missed the worst of the snow and cold that the UK experienced at times throughout December, but that looks like it’s going to change.
“There is likely to be some significant changes throughout the second half of January to some prolonged cold spells and a number of widespread snow events across large parts of Ireland.”
While that may well be true (we’ll have our gloves and scarves at the ready), the rest of this week is expected to be reasonably mild temperature-wise with a mixture of heavy showers and some sunny spells.
According to Met Éireann, there will be some frost tonight but this should clear as temperatures rise. The forecaster does say that conditions are likely to change next week bringing rain showers and strong winds.
