And we just got all our coats and scarves out
It’s been a chilly week, but before you put away all your summer clothes, the temperature is meant to rise from Wednesday. Hurricane Sam has been crossing the Atlantic, weakening as it approaches Iceland. Hurricane Sam is now considered an ex-hurricane, and will carry warm air over Ireland.
The view from space over the last 48 hours shows the path of #HurricaneSam in the Atlantic – if you closely at the start you can see the eye!

According to Met Éireann’s meteorologist Elizabeth Coleman, “The path of ex-Hurricane Sam will allow a very mild, tropical maritime airmass to move across Ireland, bringing temperatures well above average for the time of year from Wednesday onwards.”
Temperatures will rise up to 15-19 degrees from tomorrow. According to Met Éireann, the average maximum temperature is 10 degrees, so this is unprecedented. However, the warm conditions will soon pass, and the weather is expected to return to the norm for this time of year.
So you might not need that winter coat and scarf for another week yet.
