Tipperary Weather Alert: Bitter cold Siberian weather on the way!

Tipperary weather is about to take a cold turn - Met Eireann have issued a Staus Yellow cold weather warning for a full week! 

A blast of weather all the way from Siberia in Russia could be set to hit Ireland over the coming days according to the latest Irish and UK forecast as Spring sunshine is replaced by a sub-zero eastern weather front.

Exceptionally cold weather is forecast for next week with significant wind chill and severe frosts. Disruptive snow showers are expected from Tuesday onwards, particularly in the east and southeast.

The alert is in affect from today, Friday, February 23, to next Friday, March 2.

Met Éireann says it will be dry settled but cold for the remainder of the weekend but a return to winter is its forecast. It is possible that the weather front that will keep weather settled until the weekend could end up pushing very cold Siberian weather east.
