Met Éireann has warned that snow is set to cover Ireland, due to the Sudden Stratospheric Warning. This Stratospheric warning caused the infamous “Beast From The East” in 2018.
There is “potential for wintry percipitation” in areas by the Irish sea next week, according to the National Forcaster.
Their monthly forecast said the air is to feel colder towards the end of next week. Their most accurate forecast only gives predictions up until Sunday.
This cold weather could arrive by January 19. Places along the east coast such as Dublin and other surrounding areas are set to get the worst of it.
Donegal Weather Channel have said it is too early to predict both how heavy and when the snowfall will arrive.
