Temperatures set to plummet next week and snow may fall in places across Cork
A cold front from Siberia will move across Ireland bringing potentially heavy snow.
We could see a repeat of 2018's storm Emma next week, which was nicknamed 'the Beast from the East'.
A cold front from Siberia will move across Ireland bringing potentially heavy snow.
Met Eireann has warned of the risk of a severe snow event from Wednesday with temperatures across Cork set to plummet and showers of snow expected in places
Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says time will tell:
"The significant snow risk comes from when low pressure systems come up against that cold air Wednesday into Thursday and Friday. Now, that's where you have a kind of a similar setup to Storm Emma in 2018 where you have this continual heavy snow falling. However, at the moment, it is impossible to say where exactly that will happen, or if it will turn to rain"
