Irish Christmas Engulfed in Snow: “Weather Forecast Promises a White Holiday Delight”
Dublin: Residents are in for a rare treat as years of anticipation for a white Christmas are set to be rewarded. The much-anticipated snowy holiday season has been officially confirmed by the latest weather forecast from Met. According to the forecast, heavy snowfall is expected during the Christmas days, providing a delightful opportunity for snow enthusiasts to revel in the wintry magic.
Commencing from Saturday, December 23rd, snowfall is predicted to begin around noon, accompanied by rain from the northwest, before gradually blanketing the entire country. The initial day will see the northern regions completely immersed in snow, with the snowfall intensifying over the following days. The forecast suggests a rapid spread of snow across Ireland, averaging two centimetres per hour.
While the snow is anticipated to ease in parts of Leinster on December 24th, Dublin is expected to experience continued heavy snowfall. On Christmas Day, the northwest, particularly Donegal, is projected to bear the brunt of intense snowfall, with the southern regions also likely to witness significant accumulations. The snow is anticipated to gradually diminish on St. Stephen’s Day.
The meteorological outlook from the Met Office indicates a robust westerly flow across Ireland until December 24th, accompanied by high pressure to the south and low pressure to the north, resulting in a wetter atmosphere than usual. Frost is also a potential occurrence in the north and west. From December 25th to December 31st, frost and snow remain probable across Ireland.
Despite these predictions, meteorologist Cathal Nolan from Met Offaly suggests that weather forecasting in Ireland may be more unpredictable than in the past. Recent unexpected temperature spikes, reaching 13 degrees in some areas contrary to earlier forecasts, serve as a reminder that caution should be exercised and not everyone may experience the dream of a white Christmas.
