It seems that there is a possibility of snow this year!
According to the Irish Mirror, Exacta Weather are predicting a harsh winter which may match the conditions of four years ago (you know THAT winter).
Forecaster James Madden told the publication: “As we progress throughout November, it is going to become gradually colder across many parts of Ireland, in particular from around the mid-month point when it is likely to become exceptionally cold at times.
“This early start to what is likely to be a harsh winter is also likely to be accompanied by a number of potentially widespread snow events within this period and into the start of December.
“The parts most at risk of experiencing snow within this period will be to the north and east of Ireland and some of this cold could prove to be quite significant at times, even across some much lower levels of the country.”
He added: “February and into spring may also not escape an extension of these waves of cold and widespread snow at times. However, there are some conflicting signals for December at present, which could introduce some milder and rather unsettled interludes of weather at times.”
In other words, it’s probably a little too early to predict anything but make sure you have your thermals at the ready just in case!
