Good riddance to 2019 from an interesting weather point of view, one of the most featureless years I can remember. No cold or warm weather of any note, no extended dry or sunny spells, no real storms, almost total lack of thunder and lightning, no heavy rain events, no active fronts/showers etc - almost seasonless with the only change from summer to winter being a barely noticeable temperature drop of a few degrees.
As for 2020, a dark, grey, wet day in Donegal today

I'd agree with most of the above except for the no heavy rain events. We had some exceptionally wet rain events especially late September and October, several in November and a few in early December.
Everything else is spot on tho. We failed to get a winter in January and February 2019. The Spring was mostly cold and quite wet at times. Plenty of Cold rain and raw wind. Heating was on full time throughout the Spring and into early Summer, except for a few warm days around Easter.
Summer was disappointing, considering how good everywhere else got it including mainland UK. June was very cold right up to the third week, it felt more like mid March with temperatures struggling to get past 10C on several days with heavy rain and cold showers.
July was the only half decent month of the entire year imo with a good deal of dry and sunny weather but temperatures never really got above 23C in many places.
August was very wet for Ireland while the rest of Europe including many parts of mainland UK had a fairly hot and mostly dry month. Little did we know the deluges in August was a sign of things to come for the rest of the year.
First half of September was decent, it was fairly dry and mild with a few warm days. From September 20th to first half of December was incredibly wet. Day after day of downpours, rain events, heavy showers and more rain. December finished dryer into the second half but exceptionally mild and bland.
2019 is without a doubt my least favourite year for weather that I can remember with nothing remotely interesting happening all year. We failed to get a winter in 2019, Spring was more like winter and summer was on the poor side of average. Autumn was a horrible deluge and Winter so far has been featureless and mostly mild.
January looks like carrying over what we had in 2019. Let's hope 2020 will provide us with something a bit more interesting and more seasonal than 2019. It wouldn't take much to improve on 2019. Perhaps a cold week in February, some snow in March and a few weeks of warm to hot conditions in the summer would do nicely. Hopefully June will feel more like early summer this year. I do not want to see a repeat of Autumn 2019 for a long time to come!0 -
