    Latest charts showing a day of rain and winds moving east across the country as a cut off low begins to take place to our East .


    Showers at first in the west turning more persistent with heavier bursts at times in the East according the GFS , windy at times also.

    GFS Ensembles showing some pretty large amounts possible but atm i'd go for about 20-25mms in the 12hr period, which could cause some minor problems in areas but nothing too serious as of yet .

    Shall be one to watch! :)

    met.ie all very relaxed....
    Rain then will become widespread early on Wednesday night, with some heavy falls occurring locally. After a wet start to Thursday, rain will clear east by afternoon and the rest of the day will be mainly dry and bright, though feeling cool in fresh, westerly breezes. On Thursday night, winds will back southwesterly and showers will appear in western counties.

    It will be interesting to see how much wind we get. This morning the amount of leaves that had fallen since yesterday. I spend Sunday clearing them and over last night there must of been some wind as all my hard work is now gone.

    Loads of horrible, miserable rain and winds not strong enough to make it interesting. I hate this type of weather. :P

    I'm not a huge fan of wind events, but some form of adverse/extreme weather no matter what form would at least give us all something to follow and provide a break form the LRF guessing :D

    System doesn't really going until it hits the UK but that wave feature clipping the SE is still worth keeping an eye on anyways.

    Tomorrow doesn't look like anything too interesting really.

    Thanks to the upcoming changes in the weather pattern we could on the receiving end of some lows in the near future, maybe intense ones. So at least I think we are looking at a period of wet and windy weather coming up, with the potential for some very wet/very windy days.

    Sure you'd be a fool not to cover yourself when its wet and windy. Could get pneumonia.

    Good warning, lots of drains will be blocked by leaves and will not be able to handle a persistent 25mm they normally could handle.

    Frankly Wexford looks like getting away Scot free from this one ( and Donegal more or less) and it may only be a fringe event in Dublin. Cork/Kerry up to the Midlands is the main soak pit. :)

    There has been no wind of any note in the west either. :)
