Miserable afternoon in Galway city. Hopefully clears up for the macnas parade later!

Rained all day. 9C. Leitrim.

Miserable afternoon in Meath. Can anyone provide the minimum temperature for last night. The thick ice on everything very early this morning suggests a -2c . I don't think there had been a frost mentioned in the forecast.

Cheers Meteorite. Nothing too low there! I just don't understand how we had to use window scrapers on our cars at about 3am this morning to remove thick ice. It had frost designs on the car roofs usually left after a hard frost. It caught us all by surprise 😮

Radiative cooling. The air temp doesn't need to be below 0C for surfaces to freeze. On a clear night they emit heat into space thus cooling them down below freezing, especially thinner surfaces like car panels/windows and blades of grass.

Rain again. A very poor bank holiday weekend.

Lovely morning in Galway after a wet day yesterday. Yesterday was very mild I felt, no need for the stove. Week ahead looks good. A dry Halloween and mid term would be lovely.

Yesterday also felt like a very long day. The afternoon just seemed to linger for ages with the hour change. Pity to lose the time evening light but so be it.

Didn’t get below 13.3C here last night, south of Cork city……..for me that’s way too mild for this time of year and looks like there is plenty more of that to come this week. At least no wind and rain and the sun is breaking through this morning so if we do get clearer skies the temp will drop at night but not getting my hope up due to the direction of the wind!

Certainly we have flipped into a totally different pattern over the past week or so with the temperature anomaly very much milder than average which could run for several weeks and not a hint of anything cool or cold in the models. Also high pressure will dominate over the next week and high pressure could be near us for much of November, something we couldn't get a sniff of all summer.

Also unusual to see very little rainfall in the ensemble graph for the next 7 to 10 days given that it's late October/early November. The relatively dry autumn of 2024 is about to become even dryer!.

Ya I seen that. Plus a lot of the High Pressure is over the sea at times meaning cloudy nights which further exacerbate the temperature anomaly. It's safe to say the first half of November will be relatively dry and mild apart from some drizzle. Certainly no frosts yet.

Personally I'd say November and December will be mild months this year which seems to be getting more normal and any cold will be brief later in the Winter or Spring .

The rest of October is pretty cack here. It's been raining since yesterday morning. That's 28 hours of continuous rain and drizzle. Looks like another 48 hours of it to come with an odd break. Nothing heavy but soaks you even though there's just 2 or 3mm of it.

Rainfall For October at 102mm now after being only 21mm on the 18th. May reach normal yet.

Met Eireanns radar. Yet in reality it's pouring outside. Even BBC had dry here. How can they not detect heavy drizzle in the 21st century.

Meteorite58

Mixed day here in Kerry. Left for the coast early this morning in mist but it cleared up nicely, even needed to lighten the clothes getting warm when the sun came out mid morning. Back to home and light mist on and off, out doing some gardening in the afternoon and mostly bright with some sunshine but the odd wave of mist too. All in all a big improvement on yesterday .11.7C now after a high of 14.3C

pauldry

Ya South and some West got some sun but DARK all day in Sligo with mist drizzle and rain the only variety.

Kutebride

11⁰ mild and dull but only a tshirt required as so still and calm. No sunrise for morning run. Boo. Blanket of dull in the sky. NE Galway.

DumbBrunette

Low cloud breaking up readily here in west Mayo, looks good when it clears so early in the day.

OldRio

The ground is absolutely soaked here. Nearly 3 days of rain and drizzle. I have a mountain of tasks in the garden but with no let up in the rain they are still in the 'to do' list. Fed up.

Weather this morning pleasent with blue skys. Off course it is, back to work today.

Fog rolling in and out slowly from Galway bay, beautiful morning in the city.

Meteorite58

Fog and mist this morning, clearing slowly to patches, could see it rising up along the mountains but good sunny breaks now, feeling mild at about 14 or 15C here in Killarney.

Pic moments ago.

Great to see, as I was depressed enough with the clocks going back on Sunday morning, so a few weeks of above normal temperatures and no rain is very welcome indeed, makes Winter that little bit easier to bear 🙂

Yep, I'm in the NW this week and it's been absolutely miserable since Saturday, heavy drizzle for most of the day again today

Weird to have clothes on the line and no need for the stove this late in October. The grass is also growing. The colours are gorgeous this week.

.Donegal.

Wild weather in Valencia and surrounding areas today. Severe flooding and possible tornadoes

All because theres a bit of sustained anomalous high pressure over ireland, incredible the misery others have to endure for us to get normal benign weather and vice versa, except our misery is almost permanent, and theres is transient.

Deepdive is on YouTube 41 minutes and very detailed 👌 it's between this and the 10 day trend tomorrow I love ❤️, shame the High pressure wasn't around even 8 weeks ago we could have had some late summer heat
