MODELLING SUGGESTS THE same weather event responsible for the 2018 cold spell will happen again over the coming days – but it’s not yet guaranteed to be an extreme weather event in Ireland.
Temperatures as low as -7 degrees Celsius and snow depths of 40cm or more were recorded as the two weather events combined.However, an event known as sudden stratospheric warming took place in the weeks running up to this at the start of February 2018. Others have made similar findings. Research by the University of Reading described SSW as the ‘trigger’ for the Beast from the East.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Grahame Madge from the United Kingdom’s Met Office said the long-term outlook is not yet clear.
'Met Éireann’s climate unit tweeted...modelling calculations made the same prediction – for a major SSW event within the next week.' All of which have predicted that Ireland would be basking in med-like heat by 2013 and weather, oh sorry 'climate' has remained the same.
