Bitterly cold January ahead, Met Éireann say

Met Eireann's Liz Walsh says it's too early to say if we'll get more extreme weather

Ireland could be in for another bitterly cold and wintry January with the possible return of the same weather system that caused the Beast from the East this year.

Met Eireann says that the current mild conditions brought on by a sudden stratospheric warming has the potential to be followed by much colder conditions.
