🔥🔥BEAST FROM THE EAST🔥🔥 is coming back with heavy snow likely with severe frost! It is predicted to be the coldest spell since December 2010!
Read the full story below from Ireland Weather Channel.
As previously indicated our weather is expected to become very wintry over the weekend and into next week, with heavy snow and severe night frosts becoming relatively widespread in eastern, southeastern and Midland regions. Indeed disruptive snow and exceptionally cold temperatures are now appearing increasingly likely.
The main cause for such a cold outbreak is due to the development of a blocking anticyclone over Scandinavia which will allow for an easterly flow to develop across the country while a low pressure system over Nothern France feeds in sufficient moisture to cause the development of lake effect snow over the Irish Sea.
Many areas including much of Leinster, southeast Ulster, and southeast Munster will see heavy snow showers developing along distinctive bands, known as streamers, with heavy falls of snow likely in areas where these streamers pass over. While estimations are difficult by the end of next week some areas could see over 15-20 cm of snow on the ground, possibly more in some cases.
Temperatures will fall away dramatically over the weekend and into next week, with daytime values remaining below freezing at -1 or -2 by the early days on next week. Nighttime values will consistently fall to below -5 degrees Celsius, with temperatures of as low as -10 likely in some areas under clear skies, light winds and snow cover.
If the charts hold firm then this could well be the coldest spell of weather in Ireland and the UK since December 2010. Disruption to transport services would be likely in some areas if the resulting charts materialise as indicated, with eastern and central areas expected to beat the brunt of such conditions.
