Ireland is in for a ‘messy week’ of forecasts according to one weather expert who expects things to change rapidly from day to day as an aggressive weather system brings snowfall and low temperatures.
WXcharts show that up to 5cm of snow is expected to hit a band of counties from east to west this week and Met Eireann has opted to place weather warnings into effect from 6:00 pm tonight (Monday, Feb 6).
Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather took to Twitter on Sunday night and said: “Really messy week of weather ahead, cold from tomorrow evening and cold likely to last up to Friday with a risk of some heavy snow on higher ground at times, especially in Northern areas.
