Current Weather Conditions: December 2007

Supercell

Damp old evening, currently 9.7°C with 7.8mm rain so far.

Supercell

Up to 12.2mm now.
Someone remind me what time of year it is?
Must be the first winter ever in my living memory that the Wicklow mountains had no lying snow even on the highest peaks.
Whats worse is that if anyone thinks there's some coming soon their living in fantasy land

Wet windy mild all day.

It went 'bang'. Quite impressive noise without thunder.

Gale force easterlies with heavy hail.

Darwin

Absolutely torrential downpour passing overhead now with hail at the back end

DOCARCH

Huge shower here in the last hour with lightning and thunder. 3.3mm. Has been very windy here all day but the wind really dropped off at the back end of the shower!

Mothman

Have shower here, almost 3C temp drop, from 9.6 to 6.9C

Supercell

Temp drop pretty dramatic here too, down to 5.8°C here, thats almost normal late December temps!
Rain since midnight here 8.4mm, been raining and drizzling here for almost two days now

Just look at this temperature chart for here!!


Don't often see the temp drop like that!!

Weather BOFH

Similar drop in temp here, down from a high of 11.6C to 5.7C now.

Total of 5.2mm of rain for today, with most of that (4.1mm) in one downpour.

arctictree

5.0c here now. Down from a high of 11.2 earlier. Met.ie are mentioning wintry showers over high ground. A drop of a few degrees still required for that. I drove from Galway today. Was circa 12c all the way across the country.

Trogdor

Temp down to 7.1C here with snow showers crossing the country according to NW, likely:p

arctictree

Dont think its cold enough here to snow (4c ATM) but there could be snow on the mountain tops...

mike65

As the day started, it shall be ended.

Mike.

Trogdor

Any snow up there Arctictree or Longfield? I presume not, as you'd be posting on here if there was. 5.1C here with moderate rain, thought that would make it near cold enough for snow up there. More heavy/wintry showers to come into the early hours of the morning.

Nope, 3.3c here and just gone clear. I think it would need to be a degree or two colder (not going into DP's etc). Maybe early in the morning we might get a shower...

I wish, tis 3.7°C here right now and dry.
If it was snowing here i'd be posting pictures of my car with melting snow and generally posing like crazy

Maybe the mountaintops saw some action though, will be nice to see in the morning.

SpitfireIV

Gone pretty windy out there! W'ly wind gusting up to 20/30mph, highest so far was 39.3mph!

Current temp of 4.2c

rc28

Well it's sleeting here now at 2.0c
Came back from Navan there and it was sleeting heavily most of the way- very very wet flakes though.

rc28

Probably not accurate but the netweather precip-type radar is showing snow showers over the midlands of ireland at the moment.

Snowbie

Heavy hail bout an hour ago.

Supercell

Very stormy out, I couldnt sleep with the noise outside. Currently 4.2°C

Trogdor

Was woken up a few times by the wind last night, max gust was 67.5km/hr at 5:47 but it's gusting very close to that again now. Just had a gust of 64.8km/hr. Highest mean wind speeds are coming in now as well, 10 min wind speed atm is 43.5km/hr.

mike65

Sun and (relative) calm here. The wind is about but in gusts rather than steady blow-mode. A few degrees cooler.

Mike.

Mothman

Windy,
10min mean up to 29mph, gust 49mph, equal highest of month.
