What in the world is a Weather Bomb, and how is it hitting Ireland?
I’ve curated some photos of this storm, shared from around Ireland, and I’ll attempt to explain what this weather bomb Ireland / severe weather phenomenon is!
Actually, I’ve used Dictonary.com to help me explain! A weather bomb is technically known as explosive cyclogenesis; a low pressure system or depression “in which the central barometric pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours, which can produce hurricane-force winds with very heavy rainfall or snow.” Though so far here it’s not been snowy or even overly rainy, the wind and waves are quite high. The Northern parts of Ireland are getting the worst of it, and here are the photos:
PS: if you’ve pictures of this Weather Bomb Ireland you’d like added, tweet them to me!
