The freezing cold weather isn’t expected to hang around for too much longer, but what’s coming to replace it? That’s right, a whole bucket load of rain.
You can pack up the woolly hat and scarf and dig out the umbrella and plastic overalls because the freezing cold weather we’ve been having is expected to move out of the way of a wetter weather system.
Eastern Europe is still experiencing harsh weather conditions with over 200 people dying from the severe temperatures in the past week alone. In some parts of Poland, temperatures were recorded as low as -32C, or ‘brass monkey weather’ as we’d call it over here.
However, closer to home, a warmer weather front is pushing it’s way up the Atlantic and moving over Ireland, keeping us lovely and warm… but also somewhat damp.
The good news continues (once you’re not from the North or the West) as the worst affected areas are expected to be the North and the West, according to the Irish Independent.
Weather forecaster Joan Blackburn said: “The very cold dry weather is being replaced by less cold moist air from the Atlantic.”
“The cold air is still over Britain and it’s lurking there to the east all of the time, and it might poke its nose closer to us again as we go through the week, but for the time being it looks as if the Atlantic has won through.”
That’s good news, in a way. We’d take damp over cold any day.
