Significant snowfall is predicted for Ireland this weekend, with potential duration up to 39 hours. A low-pressure system is expected to bring rain turning to snow, accompanied by strong winds. Met Eireann warns of 'disruptive' weather conditions, and temperatures are expected to remain very cold.
Weather maps suggest that Ireland might experience substantial snowfall this weekend, with the conditions potentially lasting for up to 39 hours. A low-pressure system is anticipated to bring rain across the country on Saturday, which could transform into snow as temperatures remain very cold. This wintry pattern may continue into Sunday, with strong winds adding to the complications.
While Met Eireann has not confirmed the precise duration of any potential snow, the national forecaster has cautioned about unsettled weather, with rain, sleet, and 'disruptive' snow this weekend. It stated: 'Very cold with some very disruptive and impactful weather likely this weekend, with an area of low pressure dominating and bringing heavy rain, sleet and some disruptive amounts of snow. Becoming blustery too. Becoming drier for the early days of next week with the winds moderating, but bitterly cold with an arctic airmass across the country and with very hazardous conditions from a combination of lying snow, widespread severe frost and ice and scattered wintry showers.' Ireland is already experiencing the effects of the cold snap, with temperatures today struggling to exceed 2C, and plummeting as low as -5C overnight. Widespread frost, ice, freezing fog, and wintry showers are predicted as temperatures remain extremely low. Met Eireann has issued a concerning warning that the wintry weather will be 'significant' - and won't subside anytime soon. The weather service said: 'An arctic airmass will bring bitterly cold conditions next week'
