Ireland may be in for a brief bout of warm and sunny conditions, however, due to a battle between tropical and polar airstreams, it looks as if the UK and Ireland are in for a stormy change this week.
According to forecasters, the remnants of Hurricane Nicole, which struck the US last week, will hurtle towards Canada, crashing into a swathe of bitter polar air that has plunged the country into an early winter freeze.
The UK Met Office said that: “It’s the contrast between the warm tropical air and the cold air trying to pile south from the Arctic that will power the jet stream.
