Met eireann mentioned temps of 16 degrees and sunny spells over the weekend. If that works out our early November weather will be better than most of our June and July.

How true this is. I knew this would happen. Seems like our longest summer ever.

Well... you could say it is better than July - but June no. June may have had very cold nights but it was a very pleasant month overall (more likely here). Here's the weather forecast for the week - from me, it's only my prediction without any help from actual meteorologists.

Saturday: Some early rain in places but mainly dry and warm. 14-17c
Sunday: Mainly dry and warm with a few sunny spells. 13-16c
Monday: Mainly dry but a chance of rain in the northwest and cloudy. 13-16c
Tuesday: Again mainly dry with a chance of rain in the northwest and cloudy. 13-15c
Wednesday: Wet and sometimes windy. 13-15c
Thursday: Rain later but mainly dry. 13-14c

Tbf, despite the cold nights, we already had an early Summer this year - in April!

Or our longest winter ever. We really don't have defined seasons anymore. Its just muck muckier and winter.

This Autumn has been a strange one alright.

Exceptionally cold September with very heavy rainfall on individual days. A mostly dry and nearly average temperature October and now November is starting off mild?

This actually sounds a lot like Autumn 1994!

2014 was a lot different.

RobertKK · 30-10-2015 8:24pm

Lost my Sky signal temporarily due to very heavy rain.

Clonmel1000 · 30-10-2015 8:25pm

Awful night here windy and heavy rain. Hopefully the storm before the calm for the weekend.

cml387 · 30-10-2015 9:08pm

Tipping down in Mullingar at the moment.

pad199207 · 30-10-2015 9:13pm

Same in Naas

seamusk84 · 31-10-2015 12:20am

Pretty mild few days in store for the start of November. Looking at mid teens+. That's t-shirt weather!

Certainly true of the West. Down on my place in North Mayo the past 6 weeks have been by far the best spell of weather since April in terms of temp and rainfall. Having said that it is frustrating to see such high upper temps on the model charts at this time of years with the days now so short. Noticeable too the that the Greenland High f*pped off in the last month or so having ruined most of the summer for us:(

22c? Hardly? The record for November is 20c, so...

patneve2 · 01-11-2015 1:58pm

Unreal weather, sunny and no wind. People going around in t-shirts

Calibos · 01-11-2015 2:00pm

Ah Here??

I've just refreshed the bray temp Google search and now it's saying....

24 degrees Celsius!?!?!

WTF?

Could that be right? Where is Google getting the data from?

Its wrong. Weather stations in South Dublin and North Wicklow 16-19C at the moment so still not that bad at all.

JCX BXC · 01-11-2015 2:06pm

19c is extremely warm for November! Could we see a broken record today?

Alexis Sanchez · 01-11-2015 2:07pm

Here are a few links to weather stations across Ireland:

So 19 deg C then. Still amazing.

JCX BXC · 01-11-2015 3:45pm

19c being recorded at Valentia at 14:00 :http://www.met.ie/latest/reports.asp

Made just 16.3C here (elevation issues!) - with calm clear skies and non-stop sunshine; I'd add maybe 2 degrees at most for Bray given there is virtually no wind.

Lumi · 01-11-2015 3:53pm

Trogdor's weather station in Bray recorded a high of 19.1C at 12:28

Thargor · 01-11-2015 3:58pm

Im sunburnt (well my arms are red) after cycling the Sally Gap in Wicklow today, 18 deg C according to my bike computer, confirmed by a couple of drivers I was talking to, it was a Summers day up there, clouds of midges and birds chirping aswell. Not complaining!

Schadenfreudia · 01-11-2015 3:59pm

October stats for the three Dublin stations show Phoenix Park +0.3C above the long-term average; Casement exactly average and Dublin Airport -0.3C below.

That would make October (in Dublin) exactly average temperature wise; so it's the 11th consecutive month colder than or equal to the LTA.

(My own station in South Dublin puts Oct -0.1C below average)

November is shaping up to break this long run......
