Hopefully we get our cold in December and January and not Springtime as what usually happens...you just want a bit of heat by then...I dont know what happened to Spring but its colder than Winter in recent years...not like the Spring we used to get years ago...when it was the best weather we'd get all year alot of the times

Winter seemed to last till the end of June this year!

Spot on it did indeed! I'll get depressed if start thinking about summer because June + August really were a write off this year + July only decent month.

Have you forgotten about the warm dry sunny weather we had around Easter this year?

A few days i remember cycling to dun laoighaire on easter sunday and it was bliss. That was a freak occurrence this year though! Another horrible rainy morning in Dublin but seems to have cleared up now.

Nope, it definitely hasn’t cleared up in Dublin! Looks like we are in for a torrid Friday afternoon. Tonight and tomorrow looking rubbish too with rain.

Small clear section. Had you taken a photo in the other direction, towards the east, beautiful would not have been such a suitable description. Large mass of cloud would be just about overhead of you at this stage and there is some lightning activity not too far out to sea, to your east.

Big hail shower in Carlow town around 1.30pm, didn't hear any booms though.

Not overhead here yet,still out to sea

Ah hello darkness my old friend, Rain has returned to meath

SleetAndSnow

Had a brief shower this morning around 11 in cork city but dry since there. Dark clouds around but some blue sky too. Nice colour on the clouds with the sunset at the moment

Mortelaro

One thunder boom heard
Approximately 1.6mm recorded

Oscar Bravo

A nice dry evening here in Castlebar with little or no wind. 7 degrees.

Yet again going to work in lashing rain + coming home in lashing rain!


I hate rain. Only good thing is that thank crunchie its Friday!

Must check what we are up to now for Dublin rainfall.

A nice evening alright for the turning on of the Christmas lights in the mall in Castlebar. Even though we have had a bit of rain on and off over the past few days, I certainly think that it has been one of the more acceptable Novembers so far in these parts without being spectacular. Hopefully we will squeeze a few more half decent days out of it.

Mortelaro

Looks like a lot of moderate rain in the celtic sea and off Pembrokeshire heading for wexford and wicklow in the next several hours and onwards then to counties further inland
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the lift that precip gets over the wicklow mountains (and Mt leinster) really gets felt worse in North carlow and kildare
Its the kind of rain, speaking anecdotally and non technically that would

Yeah lashing here now in Kildare with 7mm in the gauge. Seems like it’s convective rain.

Should be outlawed. Christmas lights in November is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch its a cold enough one with occasional short-sharp showers and temperatures hovering between 3.5c and 4.5c in south Laois.

Thats the stuff that was over south Dublin north Wicklow on and off today lifting over the hills
The Celtic sea stuff has only started down here yet,its a much more organised bigger blob of rain
The heaviest of that is still 20 to 30 miles out to sea, growing and could spark somewhere
It's the stuff I'm thinking will lift like mad before dropping in north carlow and kildare

It is pouring down here in North County Dublin. Looks like we are already over 20mm for the day .

A shower train across Dublin and north Wicklow today
If it was the February easterly 2018 youd be buried
Pad would be on catch up with ye this evening but would get there eventually

Meteorite58

Rainfall looking heavier in the E and SE than was predicted by the models I think.

Looks like the front will make slow passage inland overnight or even stall. Could get some bigger falls than expected along the frontal convergence.

You were spot on with that prediction for Kildare anyway!

Donegal Storm

Some light rain this morning but turned into a nice bright evening in Letterkenny followed by clear starry skies, no complaints
