Ireland weather: Met Eireann pinpoints when frost will return amid snow fears in November

Met Eireann pinpointed when frost will return to Ireland amid snow fears in November.

The national forecaster looked ahead and found that high pressure will be a main feature of our weather for the month.

Mild conditions are expected for the month, with frost during the night-time hours less likely until the latter parts of November, with no chance of snow in sight.

Between Monday, 4 November to Sunday, 10 November, Met Eireann say that it is expected to be largely settled.

They said: “High pressure to our east and northeast will dominate Ireland’s weather. This will result in often dry conditions with rainfall amounts likely to be below average, though occasional outbreaks of rain are still possible.

“A southerly or southeasterly airflow will lie across Ireland, so it will also stay quite mild with temperatures signalled to be above normal.

“Frost by night is less likely as a result. Given the time of year, mist and fog may also develop under these conditions.”

As we move into the next week, Monday 11 November to Sunday 17 November, high pressure is signalled to remain the dominant feature of our weather during week two, with settled conditions persisting as a result.

“While occasional outbreaks of rain are still possible, overall rainfall amounts are likely to be below average,” they added.

“It will also stay milder than average, which will lower the likelihood of night time frosts.”

From Monday, 18 November to Sunday, 24 November, there are indications that high pressure will decrease southwards, allowing a more westerly airflow to become established over the country.

Met.ie wrote: “This may allow Atlantic frontal systems to affect the country at times, with rainfall amounts possibly higher than average in Atlantic coastal counties.

“Elsewhere, rainfall is signalled to be near average, or slightly below in the south and southeast. Temperatures will remain just above average but night time frosts cannot be ruled out.”

As the month closes, the week starting Monday, 25 November that ends on Sunday, 1 December, indications suggest that high pressure to Ireland’s south will maintain a westerly airflow over the country.

The national forecaster: “Some spells of rain will spread from the Atlantic at times, leading to slightly above average rainfall over the western half of the country with rainfall amounts closer to average elsewhere. Temperatures will remain just above average.”
