Ireland is preparing for a severe cold spell, with snow expected in February. Experts warn of potential dangers as weather patterns shift dramatically.
Dublin: Experts are warning about a dangerous cold spell coming soon. Ireland is getting ready for the Beast from the East to return.
Weather maps show that extreme cold is on the way. Snow could hit parts of the UK and Ireland in February.
This cold snap is linked to a polar vortex split. However, forecasts are uncertain about how severe it will be.
MetJeffUK shared an update, saying the Beast from the East was first named in 2014. They expect the next three weeks to be very cold and snowy.
Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather noted that temperatures will drop starting Wednesday. There’s a chance of colder air mid-month, but it’s still uncertain.
Rumors about the Beast from the East have been circulating this week. Weather charts suggest a return of this turbulent weather soon.
MetJeffUK warned that the upcoming weather looks serious. They’re keeping an eye on the situation.
Meteorologist Cathal Nolan mentioned that while Europe isn’t very cold now, sharp frosts could happen at night.
He explained that a polar vortex split combined with Sudden Stratospheric Warming might lead to colder weather, but nothing is guaranteed.
Some weather experts disagree about the return of this weather event. Cathal Nolan said colder weather is likely in the second half of the week.
He added that high pressure could bring cool days and sharp frosts. This cold spell might last into the second week of February.
However, he emphasized that they are not expecting a Beast from the East soon. The temperatures to the east aren’t cold enough for that yet.
Here’s the forecast for the next few days from Met Eireann:
Today: It will be dry and clear, with clouds increasing in the west. Some drizzle may appear along the coast later.
Tonight: Expect a dry night, with patchy drizzle near the coast. It will be coldest under clear skies, with temperatures dropping to 4 to 8 degrees.
Tomorrow: Monday will be mainly dry and mostly cloudy. A little drizzle is possible along the coast, with rain developing in the west later.
