Meteorologist have indicated that a period of unsettled weather could be returning to Ireland just weeks after a major cold snap.
Whilst experts are predicting milder conditions for the next 10 days there is the potential for a return of snow and sub-zero temperatures towards the end of next week.
An enormous Arctic storm is currently tracking towards Ireland, according to new weather maps published by weather app, Ventusky.
“Few people have mentioned the risk of a Scandinavian high and while heights are likely to build to our East, the Atlantic will also be very active at same time. Meaning cold air getting into the North West of Europe is deemed unlikely. Likely a spell of stormy weather from the 20th.”
One weather watcher shared a forecast indicating low temperatures and snow for parts of the country on 25 January, writing: “This looks very familiar”, with the hashtags Storm Emma and Beast from the East.
“OMG! Could we see the Beast From The East at the end of the month?,” queried independent weather forecaster, Mett Jeff UK on X. “Snow fans will be happy – Winter over, don’t you believe it,” he added.
Met Eireann has issued the following forecast.
Tuesday night will be largely dry. It will start off mostly cloudy. Clear spells will develop in many areas overnight, though it will stay mostly cloudy near southern and some western coasts. Some patches of mist and fog also. Turning quite cold with lowest temperatures of 3 to 7 degrees with moderate southerly breezes.
