I was replying to the poster above you but yes, good chance with this setup in Wicklow, you could see very little rain and lots of warm weather too, it's just an annoying pattern for the west and south, it would be great if the jet stream would just point anywhere else for a while 🙂

Not my experience. I had noticed how much drier and calmer it has been compared to other counties. Flat calm many days and dry. This last few days have been the first serious wind and rain for weeks. A lovely autumn. Peaceful and quiet and able to be outside most days. Not much clear direct sun and a lot of cloud cover. Occasional showers. but not as dire as you relate. I know cloudy weather affects many folk adversely? It has been a very pleasant and enjoyable few weeks and a lot of outdoor work done and just sitting out and a deep silence and peace.

NB your posts are coming up blank ! NB coastal weather changes fast signing off for some peace to watch the weather!.without being called wrong!!!!! REALLY! lol

This is the GFS for West Mayo for end of Sept to present, dry and calm are not how I'd describe it! Heavy rain most days and moderate-strong gusts a lot of the time, not complaining about the weather, just noting how unusual it is to be in one pattern for so long without change

This is easily the worst autumn since 2017, I have not enjoyed the weather in general this year from a farming point of view. Too much of one thing or another.

A glorious day here in Meath, plenty of warm sunshine, currently 17C and feels like summer. This will be the last day of the significant warmth for a while, temperatures will be much closer to average from tomorrow.

Gerrys forecast for the week ahead just now has not helped my hangover one bit

Incredibly mild. Hard to believe. Thankfully it was dry all day yesterday. The land certainly needs some draining now. Galway.

If there’s definitely no severe cold and snow on the way well then this all winter will be perfect ;)

snowgal · 13-11-2022 03:26PM

Although as per username I’m a snow, cold weather person, if we’re not getting that for now this mild is great for drying clothes and no heat on!

Lovely morning in Cork but quickly turned, heavy rain since 10. Rotten.

ascophyllum · 13-11-2022 04:48PM

Heavy rain since 5am on the west coast, only cleared in the last hour, strong winds all morning too. There's a few hours respite tomorrow then according to met.ie continuous rain for the next 7 days.

Just a sprinkle of light rain now and again here near Tralee, overcast and very dull all day, came in at 15.30 from the garden and thought it was more like 16.40 being so dull. Patching up hollows around the garden with top soil, easy to find just had to look for the standing water!

10mm overnight

Max of 13.3C and slipping down now to 11.6C

Getting out of Dodge next weekend for a week to the sun thank god. Hoping next week is the last week of this relentless rain I’ll have to endure for a bit. It has to stop at some stage right? It would be unusual to have more than a few months of significantly above average rainfall.

That's the thing. It's only been a couple of wetter months.

Up to September the previous 14 months were all either normal or drier than normal.

We're well overdue a 6-month wet spell.

There's wet (typical autumn / winter in Ireland) and there's 170% of average which is what we've recorded in Cork over the past 2 months combined. November looking likely to finish well above average too.

Statistically Oct - Jan are the four wettest months of the year so it takes a lot of rain to top the long term average.

Thelonious Monk · 13-11-2022 08:19PM

Pretty mental for November, records broken all over the shop

Another autumn down the drain. Doing my head in.

Europe is apparently warming at twice the rate compared to the global average. The fastest warming continent on the planet over the last 30 yrs.

Today was the latest in a yr that temperatures rose into the 70s f in the UK. Climate change? What Climate change?

Graces7 · 14-11-2022 05:44AM

As calm and quiet an early morning as ever was after heavy rain earlier and mild.

Quite lovely.

A lot of the screengrab is missing due to cropping but from what I can see, many of the temperature reports at the French weather stations weren't all that special, with their monthly records being several degrees warmer (29.1° being the highest that I can see). I may have misinterpreted the cropped image though so if there's a user of twatter here, maybe they can elaborate.
