Nasty Storms Expected in Ireland as Met Eireann Issues Weather Warning

Dublin: Some rough weather is on the way for Ireland. Weather experts are sounding the alarm about nasty storms that could hit soon. They say the jet stream is likely to bring some serious storms our way.

James Peacock from MetSwift mentioned that this storm is one to watch. He noted that the forecast models have shifted focus. Instead of the Scandinavian high, it looks like Atlantic lows are gaining traction.

Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather also chimed in. He pointed out that a cold snap in the U.S. could stir up the jet stream. This might lead to some powerful storms heading towards us.

So, if you’re planning to be in the eastern U.S. next week, brace yourself for some frigid temperatures. That cold air could really kick the jet stream into gear, possibly bringing storms our way.

This weekend, we’ll see a big difference in weather between North America and Europe. While we enjoy milder temperatures, North America will be dealing with an arctic blast.

Ventusky, a weather data company, explained that this contrast is due to the jet stream. Europe will have warm air, while North America faces temperatures as low as -30°C.

It’s this arctic blast that could set the stage for storms in Ireland next week. Meanwhile, Met Eireann has shared the latest forecast for the weekend.

Today starts off cloudy with some light rain. It should dry up later, with temperatures reaching 9 to 11 degrees. Tonight will be generally dry but still cloudy, with lows around 6 to 8 degrees.

Saturday looks mostly dry but cloudy, with highs of 9 to 12 degrees. Saturday night will bring a mix of clouds and some rain moving in from the west.

On Sunday, expect a bit more unsettled weather. A band of rain will sweep across western counties, while the east may stay dry until later in the day. Temperatures will be similar, around 9 to 12 degrees.

As the rain clears Sunday night, we’ll see some clear spells and a few showers. Lows will drop to about 4 to 8 degrees.
