Met Éireann forecasting 'warmer' weather amid Beast from the East fears and 'uncertainty'

Met Éireann's latest forecast somewhat allay fears a Beast from the East-type weather event is weeks away from hitting the country.

In fact, the forecaster says our weather could get warmer at the end of February with "high pressure to remain the dominant influence over our weather" in the week from February 24.

This is despite the fact the Met Office in the UK has now confirmed the major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) that caused the Beast from the East in 2018 is forming again and heading towards Ireland and the UK. Its final effects here are still unknown at this point.
