Ireland is bracing for another potential storm as a 'large steering low' in the Atlantic could bring heavy rain and disruptive weather to the country on Friday. This follows a series of stormy conditions this February, including the record-breaking Storm Eowyn. Met Eireann warns of a potential for heavier rainfall on Friday if the low-pressure system impacts Ireland. The forecast also predicts unsettled, wet, and windy conditions for the rest of the week, with temperatures above average.
Ireland is no stranger to unpredictable and often extreme weather in February. The month typically brings a mixture of rain, wind and occasional snow as winter's grip looses and meteorological spring tries to make an early appearance.
The national forecaster warned this morning: "A large steering low in the nearby Atlantic will continue to feed in a similar airmass with the potential for heavier falls of rain on Friday." The "steering low" refers to an atmospheric feature that can pull moist air and unsettled weather from the ocean, causing frequent and intense rain, strong winds the possibility of localised flooding.
Giving a day-by-day breakdown of what to expect, the national forecaster added: "Another mostly dull day Sunday with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle, persistent at times across Atlantic counties. Mist and hill fog too. Highest temperatures will range 5C to 10C in a freshening southeast breeze.
"A damp or wet start Tuesday with further scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle. However, rain and drizzle will clear northwards during the morning and afternoon with some brighter spells developing from the south. Fresh southeast winds will persist through the day though. Highest temperatures of 7C to 12C , mildest for west and southwest counties.
