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.

Thank you 😊

Jaysus lads it's like we skipped Autumn and went straight to winter!

Absolutely miserable day.

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.

.Donegal.

Shame M.E have nothing similar, 10% wetter for parts of west Ulster

OldRio

Very windy this morning in Leitrim.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

OldRio

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

DOCARCH

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

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

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).

Rain from the West

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

Thunder87

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

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.

Gonzo

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

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.

DOCARCH

Turned very windy now in Greystones in the last 30 minutes.

.Donegal.

Beautiful day

.Donegal.

It has been below 10c all day, since about 7pm yesterday. Currently 8c, knock at 7c.

SuperBowserWorld

Very windy, North Wicklow. Sea looked like it was boiling.

This is depressing wow. We must be getting the washout Central Europe got last week.
