Northern Ireland Storm Chasing Reports - 2026

 

A new year of sky action has begun...

It's a brand new year and with it came a five day cold spell thanks to deep Arctic air and Nly flow which brought numerous snow showers across N. Ireland throughout the period. We had snow on the hills every day and at least three days of laying snow at low levels. I wanted to do something different and get 2026 off to a good start so we hiked through Gortin Glen Forest Park outside Omagh on a 7.6km round trip, half of it uphill, and captured the famous Sperrins giant 'Darach' covered in snow and obtained our first ever winter footage of this famous area. This was a great hike, surrounded by snow, crisp clean air, good exercise and a lot of fun. One page report with 26 images and 1 video vlog. - REPORT. Giant On The Sperrins Winter Hike - January 3rd 2026
