I don’t wanna jinx it, but it looks like this spell is over, for now.

It's looking that way. Provisional figures for Nov 2019 should increase over the next couple of days. Currently looks like wettest November in 5 years at Phoenix Park, 10 years at Baldonnel and 17 years at Dublin Airport.

Station|Nov 2019 (provisional)|Record (Nov)|Year|Wettest Nov Since|Value|Wettest month since|Value|Wettest month ever|Value
Dublin Airport|171.1mm|186.7|2002|2002|186.7|Dec 2015|192.1|Dec 1978|217.0
Phoenix Park|153.5mm|191.1|1965|2014|154.3|Dec 2015|192.8|Dec 1978|231.0
Baldonnel|139.5mm|169.0|2009|2009|169.0|Dec 2015|205.2|Dec 2015|205.2

OTOH, out west it was just average...

Update. Phoenix Park had the wettest November in 10 years. Values still provisional but that looks like it.

25 mins getting dressed, 50 yards done n a skinning sleet shower, turned round and did a 2hr turbo sesh.

I'm off work tomorrow so I'll do 3hrs in better weather conditions.

BDI · 08-12-2019 11:18PM

Tomorrow? Is it still good for cycling?

Depends on which direction you’re going

Supposed to be dry by morning in Dublin, but winds may remain strong/gusty. I’m hoping for a PB as I head north east into city centre.

Might dust off the strava.

Utter Consternation · 09-12-2019 09:56AM

Grand morning in Dublin for cycling today. Wind wasn't bad at all.

tnegun · 09-12-2019 12:44PM

Was a lovely morning alright my gear cable snapped and I was stuck in a high gear so it there had been wind I was walking!

BDI · 10-12-2019 07:58AM

Bit blustery and rainy, grand with rain gear a snood and gloves.

Taxuser1 · 10-12-2019 09:51AM

very warm with a cold wet arse

tnegun · 10-12-2019 01:01PM

Missed the rain that wind though nearly toppled me waiting at a set of lights!!

magicbastarder · 14-12-2019 10:29AM

looked out the window about 6am, car covered in ice.
about 7am, woken by sound of rain being driven against the window. turned my alarm off and stayed in bed.

now it's actually pleasant looking out there, but it's 2C and the wind has teeth.

BDI · 14-12-2019 11:28AM

I have been on the bus a week now. I’ll try get out for exercise when it’s clear but my Tour de France days are well behind me.

eeeee · 14-12-2019 12:06PM

Wimped out this morning, it was pissing rain and freezing, much regret now

tomasrojo · 18-12-2019 08:02PM

I thought that rainy morning in October was the wettest journey I'd ever have, but this evening has leapt ahead of it. Also, strong squalls mixed in. Really awful.

Still, better than every other option, as usual.

alentejo · 18-12-2019 08:21PM

Awful evening for cycling. Wet and windy doesn't come close to descripting it

FouxDaFaFa · 18-12-2019 08:30PM

Those were some of the worst conditions I've cycled in. I had to stop and walk the bike to a shop because I wasn't happy with the stopping distance I was getting, it was impossible with stop and start traffic and how wet the road was. Horrendous.

tomasrojo · 18-12-2019 08:40PM

It was the worst journey I've ever had to make on a bike, and I've done an awful lot of journeys on a bike.

eeeee · 18-12-2019 09:07PM

Block headwind and driving rain for 20 fcuking k home this eve, got blown out of my lane by a gust at one point.
Miserable.

Pinch Flat · 18-12-2019 10:18PM

Yeah pretty ropey in Dublin heading west out the south quays. Usual tailgating and messing in the bus / bike lane didn’t help. Lots of standing water and nearly came a cropper on a few dodgy manhole covers. Was glad to reach the relative safety of the Phoenix park. Only saving grace was I had a tailwind.

Somedaythefire · 18-12-2019 10:55PM

Worst commute yet. Heading east on the quays had to get off a walk for a bit until I turned off.

stryker mcqueen · 19-12-2019 01:00AM

Not ashamed to say I bottled it tonight, got a 10 euro voucher from free now so hopped on a Luas to the terminal and got a taxi home, cost me €4.10 all in so a no brainer, but I did cycle a Dublin bike to the Luas so not a total wimp!!

The Davestator · 19-12-2019 10:36AM

Yesterday evening was terrible BUT i had a lovely tailwind for about 10 k and I was flying!

Fian · 23-12-2019 10:58AM

I kind of weirdly enjoyed Wednesday and Thursday last. Absolutely soaked through and my shoes were like I had been wading in a river, but nice warm fire and shower when I got home.

My commute is not long enough to get very cold - would be different if I had to deal with the torrential rain for an hour or more. Didn't have time to start shivering or anything.

I had Christmas drinks in the neighbours Thursday evening and they were all talking about how bad the traffic was, some took 1hr 45min to get home from city centre. Then one says “sure at least we weren’t cycling” while nodding at me and smiling. Yep, I got soaked through, but it took 34 minutes. Just like every other day.
