The Winter of 2018/19 is looking like one of the colder ones we have seen. More especially the first half and especially December.
This will be due to widespread Northerly blocking where High Pressure pushes North towards Iceland and we are left in a cold flow of Easterlies.
This will likely happen during the period from October to December.
There is a possibility that there may be snow in Ireland even as early as October but widespread low level snow is not likely until December.
Sub zero temperatures will be frequent and expect lows of minus 3 in October minus 7 in November and minus 10 in December.
A low level El Nino event is beginning to take shape and I expect this to signal a milder 2nd part of Winter with heavy rains and gales.
