According to Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather, “Winter starts Thursday.” He said that we will see our weather patterns approaching from the east instead of the west in a winter switch-up.
He wrote on Twitter: "Winter starts Thursday and instead of looking West for our Weather we will be looking East as our weather pattern changes. Cooler weather is likely from towards end of week as this animation of upper air temps show. However just how cool and how long it will last is uncertain."
