Greystones has a micro climate.

This is just a bit of whimsy, but honestly I think Greystones has its own climate and its better that the rest of Wicklow of course we have had the rain here just like every where else, but I have had lots of sunny days in the garden while on the radio its saying there is wide spread rain. I have often gone to work and the weather is dreadful where I work, but as soon as I get home its been a lovely day in Greystone.

Anyone else notice this?

Bray Head seems to create some sort of barrier in the weather - its always different (but not necessarily better) once you get past Greygates

Yep, its the head and maybe sugarloafs create a sort of shadow effect. Yesterday there was a band of torrential rain that sat just west of us. Carlesland was dull all day but it was quite fine in the village while it was raining at the top of Farrankelly rd. It is often raining in Bray but not here and rarely vice versa.

Absolutely, this was evident in the snow a couple of years ago... once you got over bray head, the amount of snow was much less...

Did you see the fog and mist sitting on Winegates today? Very strange. Bray was nice and sunny. Greystones same but Winegates was scary.
