Latest update on if Ireland could be set for major 'Beast from the East' weather event

There's a possible change coming in Ireland's weather and many are wondering whether we could be set for a "Beast from the East" type event.

While temperatures have dropped and Dublin has been hit with rain today they will rise slightly again before the end of the week. From there it's expected to become more unsettled again as the expected Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event will take place.

But speculation surrounds whether this SSW event, which previously caused the Beast from the East, will lead to such conditions again. While it caused country stopping snow in 2018 it had little to no effect on our weather in 2019.
