Autumn 2024 - General Discussion

With Casement sitting on 565mm of rainfall currently and not much if any rain forecast out to mid November it's looking like being an exceptional dry year there.

Probably even more noteworthy is the fact there were little to no extended summer warm spells and I would guess there probably wasn't any day this year above 27C possibly even 26C at Casement.

an hour from where my parents live was completely destroyed, they got lucky no bad downpours where they are. i've told them not to go anywhere in the car if rain is forecast, people were just wiped out in their cars.

Its been a poor week here in Donegal all week, damp constant drizzle , annoying to hear met Éireann raving on about the dry weather that we're having.

Nightime minimums of 13/14/15 degrees for middle of next week.Incredible.

Seen that ,at this stage I wouldn't be surprised if winter was warmer than summer, I may only be 27 but I know the seasons are out of whack , spoke to loads of people that back in the day 70s and 80s you had Warm to hot days and cold winters now we don't know any of the seasons ugh

Yes that's true people only remember the good ones and bad ones , I was gonna say 1976 and 1995 even 2003 was good , but for winters it would have to be 1962 into 63 , 1982 and one or two more up till 2000 etc , for me 2009 ,2010 and the snowfall of 2018 sticks out but we've had better summers the last 10 years than bad winters I know where going into la nino so that can amplify the jet stream but expected to be weak this year, i mean last year we all know about storms we had 9 or 10 between September and April, but only time will tell

In reality nothing has changed for the casual observer. We get 1 or 2 winters worth taking about every decade as we have done for donkeys. Similar to summers.

The other 8 are poor by their seasonal parameters.

Dull, damp, drizzle, North Wicklow. Yuck.

Beats the sh*t out of the months of non stop wind we had earlier this year, this is lovely

Grand useable day in Cork, very dull though and sporadic drizzle.

Met Éireann predicting 16,17 possibley 18 degrees next week, on the forecast after the 9 news tonight.
