Ireland could experience another Beast from the East-like event due to a sudden warming event this month.
A Sudden Stratospheric Warning is when polar stratospheric temperatures rise up to increases of about 50 °C over the course of a few days which affects the jet stream, which in turn influences our weather lower down (in the troposphere). Some extreme snow events have been connected to the surface effects of sudden stratospheric warnings.
Speaking about the possibility from another Beast from the East, weather expert Alan O'Reilly said: "Latest weather models showing risk of SSW increasing but remember any impacts on our weather are uncertain and if it does impact our weather it would likely be towards the end of this month or early into March."
