Fear not, cold bunnies, Met Éireann insists that there is a bitterly cold January ahead.. at least according to the Irish Examiner:
Except that they don't. Contents of the actual article:
"Ireland could be in for another bitterly cold and wintry January with the possible return of the same weather system that caused the Beast from the East this year.
Met Eireann says that the current mild conditions brought on by a sudden stratospheric warming has the potential to be followed by much colder conditions.
The British Met Office says the UK is currently in the middle of what's called a "sudden stratospheric warning".
Met Eireann's Liz Walsh says it's too early to say if we'll get more extreme weather: "Around the atmosphere, you can get deep differences in temperature between cold air coming down from the north and then warm air rising from the south," she said. "You could have very cold air over the US, but warmer air over the Atlantic and then colder air again over Europe or possibly, over Asia."
"The closest comparison we have from our forecasts is the event in 1982,” Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy said at the time.
Temperatures fell as low as -7C at the Bay of Biscay last February.
Apart from the article making absolutely no logical sense, or following in any particular logical order, absolutely nowhere is a 'bitterly cold January' forecast by Met Éireann, but the headline is all that is needed to place the idea that it was in the public consciousness, and should this go all tits up, we will know who will most likely get the blame.
This demonstrates just how dangerously deceptive people in the media really are, and this is not just confined to erroneous weather reporting, but, more dangerously, in all aspects of the shaping of cultural and political narratives.New Moon

Wtf. They allegedly said that this mild weather is due to the SSW? ****ing numpties. I see they didn't even put down the name(s) of the "journalists" who wrote this nonsense. As I said, criminal.0 -

It's the first day of the spell that you could consider decent down here, glimpses of blue sky and the ground is drying out finally. The lawn is getting a skim today for sure
it hasn't stopped growing yet this year. 0 -
