Winter 2025/26 - General Discussion

Thanks Highdef. Ye olde Foggy Jew pile is located within your map. (Will say no more for fear of being outed)

Lashing again in Dublin, 5 solid weeks of never -end ing rain - Miserable, this week was meant to be dry, something seriously wrong. Global warming.

Yes chilly.

Uk Met office mountain forecast for the mourne mountains

WEATHER

Outbreaks of rain overnight, turning wintry over the summits. Cloudy with rain and snow, heavy at times giving temporary blizzard conditions at height. The snow level typically 400 to 600m daylight hours, lowering in the evening.

-8c wind chill at 600m.

Perhaps there could be a touch of wintriness lower down.

Colder conditions will extend from the north to most places through the day, with early afternoon temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees over the northern half of the country and 6 to 9 degrees further south.

Has to be the most miserable and dark Irish winter in the last 30 years

Another miserable morning unfortunately. Only blessing its flat calm..no wind

Well the statistics don't lie, and it was the second wettest January in Dublin in history. I may not be as old as your Dad, but I'm no spring chicken, and I have never experienced a wetter, more miserable January/February in my life, it's been borderline depressing, non-stop almost every day. So yes people were tougher back in the day, but sadly for us there can be no doubt that Ireland is getting wetter, and there is not a lot we can do about it, bar emigrate.

I was going to say that you would almost feel sorry for those poor tourists, but then again they get to leave and go back to warmer, drier climates, so serves them right for coming here 😄

Oh, only the second wettest. When was the wettest. Ive experienced worse flooding where I am tbh. Uncle lives in Enniscorthy and i spent a lot of time there when i was young. That floods every few years. Really whenever they leave the river cleanup too long. Then the next big rain cleans it out but blocks the bridges with the debris and you get another flood.

Out of curiosity what was the wettest year in Dublin? What were the top 10 wettest years in Dublin? Since you have the statistics.

Wow. And it doesnt even include this one which was the worst flooding I ever remember myself.

I remember it well.
