A weather expert has said the weather event that caused the Beast from the East in Ireland five years ago is "really kicking off" on weather maps.
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather posted an update to his followers on Saturday night and pointed to the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) that caused crippling snow to fall in Ireland in March 2018 currently forming once again.
Alan said a second round of warming is also possible but did say it's still too early to predict the impact the event will have on our weather.
