From February 22nd until March 5th, back in 2018, a weather phenomenon dubbed 'The Best from the East' swept across Ireland, UK and Continental Europe.
Right now, weather experts in Ireland and the UK are confident only in the fact that October will be warmer than usual.It resulted in more than €1.5 billion in damages and 76 fatalities [17 in the UK] across Europe. The event itself was rare, but some fear that rising global temperatures could be skewing the ecosystem and leading to greater occurrences of what made landfall here, five and a half years ago.
. It was the result of anticyclone Hartmut which brought a cold wave from a large arctic airmass to our shores. Temperatures dropped to lows of almost -12C overnight, power cuts hit, airports halted flights and the first-ever red warning for snow was issued.that there is a “medium-high risk for an early SSW from in and around mid-November onwards this year”. However, he added that it could take “a number of weeks” before its impact can be seen in Britain.
He stated that there is an “even greater risk” of a SSW occurring throughout January and February that are “likely to be highly influential on our overall weather patterns in terms of snow and cold.”, a sudden stratospheric warming refers to what happens in the stratosphere – a rapid warming of up to 50C in a couple of days, between 10km and 50km above the Earth’s surface. Because it happens so far away, we don’t usually feel the warming, but that affects our weather lower down.
