Another horrible day in meath, colder then yesterday but the rain is the same, and looking like plenty more from the irish sea

Gonzo

miserable here in south Meath too, a cold, wet day, rain of the slightly sleety nature.

appledrop

The worst possible type of day here in NCD, freezing cold and lashing rain.

Ah well I'll have to start working on Christmas tree , no excuse you couldn't be going out in that!

.Donegal.

Best day in a long time. Wall to wall sunshine and calm.

Patiently waiting for a dedicated thread for the upcoming cold spell….. So what if it’s not a 2010 event. The FI thread is a mess and some of the weather being discussed is not even in FI anymore.

No let up since early morning, seem to be stuck under a constant stream of showers. Awful day. Hoping it might finally dry up in the next hour.

Met Eireann always underestimate wet easterlies. A cold (but not enough for snow) easterly tends to result in full days of rain for parts of the east, such as in November 2018, January 2021, and now. Each time, they've described the weather as scattered showers.

appledrop

Yep Artane yesterday and today are total write offs here in NCD.

Nothing but rain, rain and more rain.

JCX BXC

Yeah, nothing scattered looking about those showers hitting the east coast.

Meanwhile lovely and sunny West Clare. Cold with a biting breeze however.

I think they underestimate snowy easterlies too sometimes. On a few days in 2010 the forecast was mainly dry (with the odd wintry shower) when it was anything but...

Let's hope they're underestimating this one...

Slieve Bloom mountains today above 400m.

Wont let me post video.

Quite cold today in the breeze but another lovely winters day in Galway. Ideal for walking. The land is draining well too.

I am hoping the mountains will get some good snow this week even if it doesn't fall at lower levels.

nacho libre

Yes, great weather for walking. Diamond hill would be a great place to be in this kind of weather.

Kutebride

Walking in Howth this morning. Plenty showers.

Very heavy rain Meath around 4pm. Cleared a while. Raining now. 7⁰

Rock Lesnar

Still rotten out there, just awful, driving rain all day, and cold

A lovely sunny and dry cold day in East Clare, a few drops of rain for about 5 minutes..

Meteorite58

Lovely day out walking along the Smearlagh river in Lyeracrompane County Kerry today, only about 4 to 5C at the time late morning /early afternoon. Elevation of 111m.

appledrop

Glad the West is getting drier weather than Dublin for once.

Weather was absolutely brutal in Dublin today.

Sun came out late afternoon. Looking out over lower Cork harbour.

Gonzo

Horrendeus in Meath today and it's still raining. It hasn't stopped raining all day, just imagine if this was all snow. The next few days should thankfully be much drier than today.

Cork2021

Not a bad forecast by Michelle Dillon after the 9 news there.

Goldfinch8

A lovely cool, dry and bright winter's day here in Mayo today. The December sunlight was most welcome. It has been great to get a bit of a respite from the rain over the past few days. A glowing evening sky helped to wrap up things nicely then.

nacho libre

Hopefully the ECM will show something similar to the latest GFS run in the morning. Not that the weather takes account of our wishes, but you know what I'd take a relaxation of the cold/ a milder period, if we ended up with a snowy period up to and including Christmas. To see heavy snow falling on Christmas eve would be brilliant.

She’s one of the best around IMO. Explains things very well and her delivery is top notch.

I am sick of the bullying on the FI thread it's disgusting
