Met Éireann has said that temperatures will drop next week, becoming “significantly colder”.

In an advisory, the forecaster said that from next Tuesday, an Artic (sic) airmass will cover the country from the north, resulting in daytime temperatures ranging around 2° to 6°C. (35.6°–42.8°F)

Night-time temperatures are expected to fall below freezing, bringing widespread frost and ice.

Met Éireann said that there will be persistent rain over much of the country with the possibility of some sleet and snow over Ulster on Monday. It also advised that from Monday onwards, there will be frost, ice and showers which will be most widespread in the northern part of the country, as well as parts of the west.

Due to the cold spell, Met Éireann warned of hazardous ground conditions and poor visibility with wintry showers. …

That's the funny thing about the weather: sometimes it is cool, sometimes it is warm. That's the way it
has been all my life. Even my late grandparents, born in the 1800s, said that was their experience too.

In other words - winter is coming.

There was a story on one of the major news services a week or so ago explaining that global warming could result in colder winters for Europe this year.

I was sure they had seen long range forecasts about upcoming cold weather and were attempting to explain it away, and here we go! It’s global warming folks!

That’s odd.........................For Florida.............

[Olog-hai]

It’s not too customary for Ireland either. They usually get a lot of rain in winter.

[Olog-hai]

Yeah, “explaining” an oxymoron.

[packagingguy]

Or Hillary is visiting Ireland soon.

[Qwapisking]

doesn’t the southern medical dictionary define “oxymoron” as “a hyperventilating idiot”? right up there with a “liver” being defined as “someone who just survived surgery”...as in “THAT one is a liver”!

- ... explaining that global warming could result in colder winters for Europe this year -

That's because there's only so much heat to go around. When the heat decides to collect in one place and make it hotter, other places get colder. Yeah, science!! /sarc

And warm weather down in Patagonia....

Night-time temperatures are expected to fall below freezing, bringing widespread frost and ice.
