No, not unusual at all. It's what we call a toppler, almost always happens with northerlies. You get a northerly push of colder air followed by mid-Atlantic ridging "toppling" or collapsing to us.

.Donegal.

Sunshine and blustery showers today.

Today is fairly crap in Sligo. Sunny yes but very windy with frequent showers. I thought it was supposed to be sunny today in the Northwest especially. It was what was forecast 2 days ago. Not this muck.

The thing on sat24 is I can't find the forecast rain I used to look at. Less and less weather sites seem to feature predictive rain now. I used to have a great app on phone run privately by some chap that had the best one around but he must have run out of money coz now it's gone.

Some old sites on Google were way better before they changed the algorithm

More text and more info now it's just slow to load maps like wow and most apps.

Oooh a gust of 70kph there. One of the highest on my weather station yet. Leaves hanging on for dear life with these gales.

2 different systems. One bringing gales to Scotland and winds to the NW another bringing rain to South England and wind to Kerry Cork Waterford

The shannon radar is back up and running, after 4 months I think

I see Joanna Donnelly has a book out about the weather.

A second? She had one 6 years ago.

Surely this is bullshit 😒 more weather clickbait, we've had frosts in August in the past sure

Wow temperatures dipping to 0°c!

Look at who wrote the article, garbage media, I wouldn't give them the click.

Coldest ever 😂

Right now as of the 12th, mean temperatures widely are between 3-4 degrees above the October average. It would take truly extreme cold for this October to come even close to the coldest ever and it will be an achievement to see it go colder than average.

As my late father would say 'that's the stuff that makes grass grow green in Mexico'

Oh I thought it was her first. The second book is titled: From Malin Head to Mizen Head: A Journey Around the Sea Area Forecast.

Right. Her first was a children's big hardback one on the weather in general.

Terrible night in Sligo. Roads fairly sodden.

My thoughts exactly 💯

Over 10mm of rain now in the past 5 hours from showers. More rain today in Sligo that the rest of October before it.

First 12 days 10mm

13th 12mm

spoonerhead

Rain making it all the way to Dublin, surprised to hear drops against the window…

pauldry

Up to 15mm now since 7pm yesterday. Still raining away. Pressure was 1011 yesterday and now 1018 so hopefully rain will die out. Its been almost continous the last 12 hours not showers

Embracing the subtle beauty of Autumn in Greystones, where the season unfolds gently, painting the town in warm hues.

Carlsberg don't do the perfect Autumn and Winters, but if they did Ireland would beat New Zealand tonight , then go all the way to the final and beat England. They would follow this up by ensuring we had an epic cold spell in the heart of winter with reloads from the North, East and North East.

Beautiful Autumn morning. I love this time of year.

That's a lot of showery rain. So different in the south east.

SleetAndSnow

Chilly, clear blue sky morning on the west cork coast! First time I felt cold in a while

At roughly 2 months and one week from the winter solstice our daylight is now equivalent to 28 February. Sobering in ways! And crazy to think it was 23.3c 5 days ago, with daylight like on 5th March.

We're flying towards winter.

A perfect autumn morning in Tralee. Can't wait to get out for a walk in the countryside, lots of crunchy leaves underfoot.

appledrop

An absolutely stunning autumn morning, gin blue skies and the beauty of autumn and all the crunchy leaves.

I finally woke up to a dusting of snow this morning in Reykjavik! Most of it had melted by the time I got out but it's starting to snow again. Unfortunately, today is the last day of this.

Hippodrome Song Owl

A beautiful morning in Dublin, bright, sunny, and cold. So disappointed to have a couple of heavy showers, though, this afternoon. Was not expecting it at all.

Billcarson

Went for a walk in a forest today hoping to see some nice Autumn colours considering it's mid October. Disappointingly still lots of green.
