Odds Say ‘Snow Chance’ Of A White Christmas In Ireland

In this post, we take a look at the odds of Christmas Day snowfall in Ireland in 2023.

White Christmas Not On The Cards According To Odds

Hopes of a white Christmas in Ireland appear to have gone cold as BoyleSports pushed the odds on snow at Dublin airport next Monday out to 6/1 from 4/1.

Met Éireann’s Status Yellow weather warning this week focussed on strong winds and potentially dangerous sea conditions, but punters who were banking on snowfall on the 25th have been dealt a blow by forecasters predicting temperatures higher than average as the big day approaches.

With just days to go, the chances of snow around the country look to be fading completely, with odds on Donegal (6/1), Knock (7/1), Cork (8/1) and Kerry (8/1) airports turning white this Christmas all on the drift.

It remains slightly more likely at 5/1 that Belfast International Airport is hit by snow on Christmas day, although the Met Office forecast suggests Monday’s festivities in the north will have a backdrop of sunny spells and intermittent showers.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said:

“It looks like Santa may have to navigate some wet and windy conditions, but the white Christmas backers look set to miss out this year as the odds have gradually melted away this week.”
