Weather forecasters said that Ireland is in for some low temperatures and wintry showers over the coming days.
Weather Alerts Ireland shared a new forecast update on Facebook, and said that a movement of cold air may bring some snow to the country. They noted that “Arctic air” is the cause.
Met Eireann has predicted low overnight temperatures from Thursday night. Weather Alerts Ireland said that daytime temperatures will also feel cold.
Posting on Wednesday evening, their forecast reads: “Cold air is forecast for Ireland from tomorrow and with this the risk of snow! On the main GFS and ECMWF models there is a chance of snow tomorrow night and then Saturday and possibly more on Tuesday.”
“In an additional forecast they posted: “After a few wet weeks we are expecting a cold snap from Friday as Arctic Air pushes down over Ireland.”
“What we can expect: Nighttime temperatures below freezing. Daytime temperatures well below average and with a windchill will feel very chilly at times!”
“Some wintry precipitation is also possible over the weekend as a low pressure system pushes close to Ireland. The rain from this system could well turn wintry as it meets the cold air over Ireland.”
“The ECMWF is also forecasting this cold spell to linger around next week but some uncertainty remains!”
Cathal Nolan of Ireland’s Weather Channel added that a change is coming in the weather.
“We are in for a change in our weather so over the next while we are expecting to see colder conditions becoming a little bit more widespread. And with that we do expect to see that change taking place in stages firstly through Thursday night into Friday. The first half of Saturday is generally expected to be quite dry.”
