 January 2021 has certainly started cold with wintry showers and some frost. This is how Januarys first 10 days will continue but after this it now looks mild and dry for Ireland.

Long Range Weather for Ireland December update

 The cold spell is signalled to begin on Wednesday with temperatures only in the 5c to 9c range. There will be many showers, some of them wintry and a low risk of snow at night. The weather will stay like this for the first 10 days of December. Also some frost can be expected and temperatures at times will drop below zero with frost at night. Becoming milder as we head to Christmas with temperatures of 7 to 10c expected

To Snow or not to Snow

That is the Question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of mild weather or by opposing get cold weather to end them.


Certainly a colder feel to the weather for the coming weeks with a lot of showery weather where the showers will be wintry with sleet and hail with the odd one of snow


Temperatures for the next 10 days will be 6 to 9c.

Cold Weather Just Wont Go Away

In what has truly been a remarkable period of cold weather so far with a record low of minus 16.4c in Mount Juliet and Minus 12.6c in Oak Park in Carlow (courtesy of http://www.met.ie/) the cold weather shows no sign of going away at all during the month of December 2010. In fact frost could be experienced on most of the nights of December.

There is however some hope at least of a brief thaw period for next weekend meaning at least temperatures will get up to the dizzy heights of 9c before plummeting again in the period up to Christmas. At the moment though there may also be another brief milder period around the Christmas but it is very far away yet and the weather models have varying degrees of confidence over this issue.
