    Met Eireann have worded it slightly differently, they're saying status yellow rain and wind warning. Looking at the models though the strongest of the winds (only just hitting the yellow criteria on ECM) will be on the immediate coast. Even the hi res models are only showing around 70km gusts for most. Probably mentioned in the warning because coupled with heavy rain it might just be a bit more impactful I suppose.

    Cathal Nolan at it again. Issuing his own 'severe' weather warning. Confusing the public and looking for donations.

    There is definitely missing data, it was a dull week but not to that level. I remember this because I was tracking sunshine values to see if July would end up above or below average and noticed that some days that had a few hours of sun registered as zero. August had a day of missing data too.

    That table on Ogimet is confusing, the sunshine values seem to be delayed by two days and the temperatures are delayed by one day - the sunshine for the 10th was actually the 8th for example. I had an evening out in Howth on July 19th and it was lovely, warm, and sunny yet the value for July 21st, corresponding to the real July 19th, was zero, which definitely wasn't the case.

    Not the average as such but the mean for that day. I know the IMT is calculated day by day using this method so 6.5c today and 13c average most of the other days means the collated average is not effected as such but when you get the average for a day in isolation it's still 6 degrees colder than what's normal. Like a max of 16c and min of 10c might happen a lot in September so that's about average.

    Looks poxy in Dublin tomorrow. Rain and gale force winds in the late afternoon.

    Very windy this morning in Leitrim.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭alentejo


    ME is telling that there is no rain (or very little) forecast today in Dublin, yet yesterday weather warnings about wind and rain for the east cost. Has the low front changed track?

    Checked again, and updated to show various amounts of rain over the next 24 hours!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Looking like a very wet day indeed for the east coast with about 20-30mm forecast in the next 12 hours, with after school and commuting hours being around the heaviest of it. 70-80 kmph gusts too for a few hours will add to misery.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,506 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    ME's hourly forecast says it should be pissing here since 8am. Thankfully dry in Galway City, freezing though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    This morning would remind you of a summers morning from july, cold,dark, wet and windy, imagine were going to have to endure 6 months of autumn. Out of here again in November, counting the days, thank christ.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭squarecircles


    you can imagine if they did the colour shading would be impossible to read, and the chart would be hidden away in the maze that is their atrociously laid out user interface.

    An absolute rotten day here in Meath. I could describe today as autumnal but most days over the past year have been autumnal bar a few exceptions such as some nice days in May, a few isolated days in August and then last week.

    I'm seriously thinking of taking a mini break at some point around Easter to get out of here, an 11 month wait till my next proper holiday seems just so far away with an entire Autumn and a fantasy illusion of Winter ahead of us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,674 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Heavy rain for the last few hours here in Leitrim. 9C. String gusty wind.



  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 19,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH


    Wind starting to get up now in Greystones. Pretty much dry since 9am and even the sun popped out for a bit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,568 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Is Irelands weather getting worse?

    Maybe it's connected to La Nina setting up but this year has been cold in Ireland since May. Bar last week temperatures are running low. However my phone app hinted at 18c in October next week sometime. So just in case we think wel get a snowy winter .....

    Anyways max of 8.9c in Gurteen yesterday another sub 10c for the limited collection of Sept under 10s



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,106 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Looks like it just about managed to stay under 10C as it rose to 9.8C at 0900 this morning (remember official climatology daily stats are from 09-09 whilst the Met site is 00-00).

    Some flooding on the Castletown Road in Dundalk this morning. The road has been reopened in the last while.

    Met Eireann showing 90-100% chance of heavy rain in Dublin all morning and afternoon, so far other than a few spits of rain this morning it's been dry



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,574 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Bit of a swing and miss to the south of us this morning. Looks like we're waiting for the whole system to start sinking south.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,717 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    Still pouring rain here in Meath, has to be some localised flooding by this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Same here in South Wicklow, it's a damp day with the odd spits of rain but there's still not so much as a breeze here. Although as I type the rain looks to be picking up a little here. The worst wasn't forecast to hit this area until later this evening though as the system started moving southwards, but I don't think we're going to get the totals now that were initially showing.

    The nowcast model is still going for heavy rain over the Dublin mountains between 5-9, but mainly showing 1-2mm per hour generally for the region until later tonight.
