Dublin: Met Éireann has issued an apology following an erroneous forecast predicting a cyclone in Ireland and the UK. The initial projection of Cyclone Milton’s arrival, which caused widespread panic, has now been dismissed as incorrect. This mistaken forecast dampened the excitement surrounding the much-anticipated “Indian Summer,” a period of warm and pleasant weather.
Met Éireann acknowledged the error, explaining that the forecast was based on inaccurate data supplied by a third party. The agency has since rectified the mistake and assured the public that the prediction of a fast-approaching cyclone was unfounded. The BBC’s meteorological department also confirmed that there is no need for concern, stating, “Milton has not reached the UK, and the initial observation was based on flawed data.”
In an updated forecast, Met Éireann predicts a period of fine, warm weather similar to an Indian Summer, expected to last from October 21 to November 3. Temperatures are forecasted to rise to as high as 20 degrees Celsius, driven by increasing atmospheric pressure across Ireland. This improvement in weather conditions is attributed to the decrease in low pressure over the Atlantic Ocean and the influence of high pressure from Europe.
Met Éireann now anticipates at least 14 days of milder-than-average weather, with minimal chances of rain and no hazardous conditions. The agency reassured the public that they are committed to improving the accuracy of their predictions moving forward.
