A new thread for a new season! 🍂
Gentle/fine start to Autumn in Greystones.
Why not? Business as usual once you have the right kit.
I don’t trust our airports to remain open. I hate the cold too!!
Horrible day here in Meath. Dark and wet.
10⁰ Meath
Oh yes please 🙏 I'd love that again this year I know i wasn't born but I've heard all about this cold ,wasn't new years eve 2009 like that too ,we had 45 mins of heavy snow and it was great to ring in the new year with 4 inches of snow on the ground 😀
I have very fond memories of new years eve 2009 in Dublin. It really was special and so much fun playing with friends (with a few drinks) in the snow!
Ah I was only 12 so I couldn't drink not till I was 14 anyway , was such fun ,school Christmas holidays extended by a week was like hitting the jackpot ,water went off from 9pm till 7am most nights due to the icy weather ,where due another round of that cold -15c or lower please
Meanwhile in Gdynia (Poland). Not my video.

I'm loving this cold dry weather, long may it last.
Nothing but mist and drizzle around here the last few days,hopefully get some clear dry weather the next few days
That moon is something this evening!
On Thursday there'll be a messy mix of graupel, sleet, snow showers coming on to the east coast. May be relevant for the evening rush.
I'd expect accumulations of snow on higher elevations in Dublin/Wicklow.
The annual compulsory 2010 recollection from sryanbruen.
This day in 2010 started it all here in Dublin. Airport main runway had closed. There was cracks of thunder overnight from the 26th. Of course I was fast asleep for it but woke up to a wonderland in Coolock.
One of my favourite synoptics of all-time and a proper northeasterly blast, my favourite wind direction.
It'll be nice to see some mountain snow on Friday if it accumulates overnight Thursday. Camera batteries are well and truly charged waiting.
It’s incredible! I keep sticking my head out the door to have another peep.
The moonlight is just glorious. I would walk in it for hours.
Ice forming on the roofs of the cars and the roof of my extension for the first time this season in Cork City.
Full moon last night, truly stunning. I went for a run at 7am this morning guided by the moon.
Cool enough morning, 0C, with a touch of ground frost.
Just popping in to extend an invitation to all Boards weather forum regulars and Boards members in general, and on behalf of the regular weather contest entrants, to join us for the 2024 contest year. This is a good month to get started because we include seasonal components in addition to the annual contest running through the calendar year, also it looks interesting for trends now.
Thread is open for Dec 2023 contest elsewhere in the weather forum.
We welcome new and returning contest entrants, contests open around 28th of each month with a deadline for entries early on 1st of each month but you can enter a bit later with small penalties for late entries.
On Thursday/Friday (particularly overnight) I think expect 2 - 4cm of snow/graupel in Kildare/Laois. At the coast in Dublin almost all rain or graupel.
I think late Thursday evening could be problematic if you're heading home from work that direction down the M7.
In Wicklow there'll be a covering on high ground above 300 meters.
I did just that for a couple of hours last night.
Some light patchy dustings come Saturday morning on the latest GFS. Nothing to get excited about but sure we’ll see what happens.
Deep dive has been uploaded and its my favourite, also gives us met heads an idea even for Ireland what we can expect ahead, give it a watch it's half an hour but well worth it 👌
Could be a very big Aurora display sometime around Friday. High strength M-class (almost X) this evening, smack bang in the sweet spot of the sun for us. Seeing chatter of G3-G4 storms! Will be showers about but hopefully some clear skies. Moon not really in an ideal phase but if it goes G4, won't even matter! Earth will already be tingling with effects of at least three other CME's launched in recent days, due to arrive 30th/1st. This latest CME around the 1st.
Will know more in the coming hours when modelling tightens up predictions.
Could be an epic one!
A nice frosty night.
Some light rain showers now in Greystones coming onshore with a NE breeze. 5.9c atm.
The showers should be wintry by tomorrow morning. Mostly a mix of graupel/sleet I think but some flakes further inland and on higher ground.
Light cold rain shower here in Dublin 13 past few minutes.
What altitude (roughly) would the snowline be tomorrow morning in Dublin/Wicklow?
Low temperature warning ⚠️ for tomorrow night, Dublin,
Wexford, Waterford and Fermanagh aren't included
The coastal counties I get but Fermanagh looks odd
The warning for the north is just for ice where they expect wintry showers to fall. Bits of Derry,Armagh, most of Tyrone not included in the warning either but if part of the county is included in the warning then M.E will include the entire county on their site as being in the warning area.
