The timing of when it will get cold again depends on the region, but generally for many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, cold weather is expected to return as part of the approaching winter season. According to recent forecasts, the 2025-2026 winter is expected to bring an "old-fashioned winter" with cold and snowy conditions returning, starting as early as late fall and continuing through winter into March or even April in some areas like the Northern Plains and New England in the U.S. This suggests that cold weather will likely arrive soon within the next couple of months, after the current warm period in late summer. If referencing Europe or Ireland specifically, there are forecasts indicating progressively colder weather starting from the upcoming weekend and next week, with frost, showers of hail and snow possible over high ground, and significantly colder conditions expected by mid to late next week. If a specific location is needed, the timing can be narrowed down further with location-based forecasts, but overall, cold weather typically sets in during late fall through winter and into early spring in temperate regions.
