Yeah loads said last year was gonna be very cold and snowy. Overall, it wasn't snowy at all and it wasn't that cold. In fact, December was warmer than normal in many parts, January was variable but February was much colder than normal - again though hardly any snow.

I see the Daily Express has done their annual "Worst Winter in 100 Years" story. They must realise that we've seen it year after year.

That's Been the case the last few years has it not.
I'd have no problem with it being freezing could from now on but come then end of February it gets tiresome.
That horrible cold westerly wind from then until may we seem to be getting the last few years is just rank

Do you not mean months because we hardly had a cold westerly wind in 2014 at all. Every month this year has been colder than normal at my region - I don't know about you and that is mainly down to these directions of winds

January: North westerly
February: Northerly
March: North westerly
April: North westerly / southerly - cold nights made all the difference
May: North westerly
June: North westerly
July: North westerly
August: Westerly
September: Northerly or westerly
October so far: Southerly, now becoming easterly

I will hope to god, easterly winds will continue into the Winter. Please let it snow and get cold like the end of November 2010 with those easterly winds!

They'll be right some year if they stick to their guns!

Same way as a broken clock is right twice a day.

can you give any indication to what winter 2015 will be like or have you posted it already?

Nobody can give any indication what the winter weather will be like in Ireland.

Its looking like we are in for a good blast of snow, all the signs are there. Bring it on.

Unfair to single him out.anyone who tries to predict the weather for irelands winter so far ahead is,as I have said before full of spoof and waffle.they p!ay to the crowd and amazingly some of the crowd actually believe it.yes I agree James Madden is a chancer,but he,s not the only one who tries to predict the weather so far ahead and fails time and time again.its actually becoming laughable and tiresome at this stage the way people react to these "forecasts"

Doesn't really matter if he did or not,its all guesswork anyway.there is no scientific formula or otherwise to work out Ireland's weather so far ahead.

I #really #hope [but not betting on] that it will be cold like 09/10 or even just cold. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

I predict that AA Roadwatch will report the R539 and B28 closed for at least one hour, owing to snow.

Well, we're supposed to get sneachta in southern Poland in the next 48 hours...

I think it's supposed to be a very mild winter due to the Super El nino, similar to the Mid 1990's level of roses in December warmth.

But I guess you never really know.

I don't take an absolute view of this question either way. Of course there is no reliable method to give a very accurate seasonal forecast, nobody except a few tabloids would dispute this. On the other hand, there's general interest in the educated guesses of various people, and all the others are certain to give you theirs, so I may as well give mine. Look for that in the coming week, I am not quite finished my work on this project. The fact is that some other regions of the world now seem to have reached a point where more than totally random seasonal forecasts are often made. I think that Ireland (and western Europe in general) are probably not there yet. But I expect that might come about gradually rather than all of a sudden. Anyway, the regular daily forecast will appear by 0730h.

Yes it will.

There a bunch of scenarios that work out it should be a colder than normal Winter.

Firstly, right now we are getting easterly winds and the continent is becoming colder than normal - this will have an effect on our weather too. The end of November 2010's snowfall and cold weather was because of easterly winds. However, it is still mild enough for October and are not expecting any snow. So wait until like mid-November to see if this scenario will happen.

Secondly, the winds could come off a much colder than normal Atlantic and therefore, our weather should be much colder than normal. This happened at times last Winter, more especially during mid-January.

Thirdly, however, though this is least likely scenario, winds could come from the south and therefore bring an exceptionally mild Winter. Remember however, there are more chances that we will have a cold Winter than a mild Winter.

It is way too early to predict any snow I'm afraid.
