Hopes of a white Christmas in Ireland appear to have gone cold.
BoyleSports has pushed the odds on snow at Kerry Airport next Monday out to 8/1.
Met Éireann’s Status Yellow weather warning this week focused on strong winds and potentially dangerous sea conditions but punters who were banking on snowfall on Christmas Day 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 Cork Airport also at 8/1, Dublin and Donegal 6/1), Belfast 5/1 and Knock (7/1).
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”.
