White Christmas for Ireland’s south, says NZ forecaster

Long-range weather guru Ken Ring is predicting a frosty Christmas for Ireland this year, with the south of the country most likely to get a festive snowfall.

The long-range forecaster, who predicted the country’s record-breaking July heatwave, says there will be plunging, sub-zero temperatures on Christmas Eve.

He also predicted that 2014 will bring in bitter cold, with temperatures dropping to an icy -10ºC as the new year is rung in.
