Met Eireann ‘Beast from the East’ update as weather maps show ‘major’ snow blast for Ireland
Met Eireann says the country is going to see colder weather for the rest of this week, forecasting subzero temperatures, frost, ice, hail and fog at times.
The weather chart also says there is a 35% possibility of falling snow on Wednesday, March 8 and Thursday, March 9. Prof Adam Scaife, Head of Long-Range Forecasting, also pinpointed late February and March as the exact date Ireland would see any impacts from a SSW. He said: “There is now over 80% chance of a major SSW occurring. Although the impact will become clearer nearer the time, any effect on UK [and Ireland] weather is most likely to occur in late February and March.”
For the week of February 24 to March 2, it said: “In Week 1, there is good confidence that a region of high pressure will become established nearby to the north of the country. This will provide generally settled conditions throughout the week with a mainly easterly airflow over the country. Rainfall amounts will be well below average for the time of year, while temperatures will be close to or marginally below average.
