Gearing up for record breaking warmth from the 11th Nov ---->

    As the pattern toward potentially much colder weather for the end of the month evolves over the next couple of weeks the grudging refusal of the Euro High pressure over the continent to take a hike means Summer may well not be finished just yet. The trend is toward the Atlantic troughs getting stuck and meandering around to our west not up to that much bringing very warm air up from the South. It's all part of the process of change toward a situation where we can see the much colder stuff sniping at us from the North. Ironically it means a temporary return for Summer. Really warm for the time of year. Record breaking stuff here potentially. If this came off as forecast on the ECM I would not rule out temperatures breaking 20c. If it turns out anything like this. The flip side is it allows a plunge of super cold air into the Eastern side of the continent. Thankfully Ireland will have played Estonia before then;)


    Anyways get those bbq's ready!

    You dislike warm weather?


  • Registered Users Posts: 101 ✭✭Caitriona


    In November, yes. In November I like frost and cold crisp mornings and steely blue skies. Or even pissing rain, really. Just not warmth, that doesn't feel right when I'm doing my Christmas shopping.

    Plus I'm pregnant and the size of a whale which makes heat somewhat uncomfortable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,029 ✭✭✭shedweller


    Note to self: don't disagree with a pregnant woman!:) My wife went through it twice, second time with twins. Been that soldier and all that.

    Re the warm weather. I'm not too happy about it either. Just blew a wad of cash on winter tyres for two cars AND......three sleds for the kids!!
    If i don't get snow this winter there will be hell to pay!!:pac::(

    Should have put the words "potentially" and "temporary" in the thread title. It's only temporary if it occurs. And since every action has an equal and opposite reaction...it may be a blessing in disguise. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,003 ✭✭✭Lucreto


    20c in November. I hate the thought of it.

    Its 4.4c now and I an just back from a walk. I love this cold weather and I can't imagine it being that warm so I hope this chart it wrong

    If it does get this hot I hope the temperatures drop like a stone after it. The last thing I want is winter stock coming back because of the lack of snow. Last year we were selling ski suits. They came in 12th December and sold 50 of them. In January 29 were returned when the weather improved. I don't want that to happen again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    The GFS doesn't agree with this setup at all. Todays 12z is giving max 850's of 6C, and mostly 4C.

    180335.png

    Coupled with the fact that this is way in FI still (even if it was a cold blast there'd be a lot of criticism about a thread for 9 days in the future!) this thread does seem a little premature!

    2m temps for Monday 14th GFS of 12-14C:

    The only other models going out as far as sunday 13th (JMA and NOGAPS) aren't going with this either.

    IMO (and I could be wrong) a much milder period is inevitable. There is general agreement on the Atlantic trough becoming almost static as it slowly sinks south and unwinds. The Euro high is persistent.


    GEM (from MT's neck of the woods) agrees pretty much with a mild outcome. But again it is only temporary.

    gemnh-0-228.png?00

    Some interesting signs toward the later stages of the ECM run give much greater hope for the last 1/3 of the November and early December for cold and ice in terms of height and pressure rises to the north.

    Watch the cold plunges into Eastern Europe. That could be useful later in the month. ;)

    On track for unusual warmth in November although it could yet be the unsettled type i.e wet.

    I have just bought an electric blanket, snow grips in Penneys, Snow Boots and a halogen heater.

    I need snow!!!!!

    why do people go and buy winter stuff on the back of two bad winters,theres no guarentee we will get another in the next 20 years? remember how long we went with wet and mild winters before we got the two really bad winters....... ha ha makes me laugh

    Had they even worn the ski suits? If they had, you didn't have to accept them back, did you?

    Same reason as people buy umbrellas, once bitten twice shy.

    Maybe the govt should put a high tax on snow shovels, winter tyres, snow shoes and all the panic buying stuff. Then if we really get bad snow they can reduce the tax back to normal.

    I think perhaps people have overamped what temperatures could be reached next week.

    I would say widely 11-14c with one or two spots hitting 16c. Very mild for November but we are not going to hit 20c.

    We will if we get above 10c 850hpa and decent spells of sunshine. Only the ECM shows that possibility still though so we may be spared that horror. :pac:

    I've had the electric blanket for years. However the ice grips I got last week. I refused to be ripped off by stores which wanted to take advantage of our ''panic'' and charge me 30 euro for them so I took my chances with the ice last time. However this time I was looking carefully and picked the ice grips up for 5 Euro in Penneys. If it doesn't snow for 5 years I will still have saved money plus the saving will stay in the economy and help me purchase something else along the way

    Not a chance we'll get 20 °C, even if we get 10 °C 850s. We may have done a month ago but that won't cut it in mid-November, with nights around 16 hours long. 16 or 17 °C would be about the best to hope for, but only if every single thing fell perfectly into place.

    20c can be reached in November in an airmass where the temperature at 1,250m is 10c. Fine if you don't believe me. Everyone has differing opinions - life would be boring if we all agreed!:)

    But...

    Do you recognise this chart? Do you know what occurred on this date?

    1,250 m? That's not 850 hPa, and if it is then it's one cold airmass!! The highest November temperatures recorded in Ireland in the 61-90 period were around 17 - 18 °C and no more. I don't know what happened in 1946, but I'm guessing from that setup that if 20 °C was recorded somewhere then it was probably down to local Föhn effects.

    I know it's not. It's around 250m below it. And that is a very warm airmass for this time of year.

    And?

    Yes, 20.0c was recorded in Rathfarnham in Dublin. Another chart I mischievously held back. The temperature at 850hPa level was not even 10c and was outside the margin of error given the less then adequate resources for measuring when compared to today.

    Apart from it creating a bit of banter, you tend to explain your reasons more and occasionally i am able to follow what the argument is and learn something!! So don't forget... argue in science boys! ;)

    It strongly suggests that trying to get 20 degrees it nigh on impossible.

    Rathfarnham. Was that an official station? Plus, it's THE perfect location for Föhn warming, as I thought. In any case, that was at the start of the month, you're talking about almost two weeks later, which stacks the odds even more against.

    I'll tell you what. If we do see an OFFICIAL reading of 20...no, wait, even 19.0 °C this November, then I will close my account on boards.ie....promise! ;)

    That's what I mean. I don't care - and neither do the records - what someone gets in their garden. I've sited my sensor as standard as I can get it but in sunny conditions it regularly reads 2-3 degrees above my nearest stations (Weston, Casement and Dublin Airports). I know Weston's not an official station but it is well sited and representative of the area.

    Well I have not said that it is nailed on we will get 850hPa temps over 10c. My point is the inference of your posts is that it is impossible to get 20c in November. That is not correct.

    In fact it is on the Met Éireann website. It was an official station with an official recording officially recognised as the highest November temperature on record. Fohn effect or no Fohn effect.

    Good that I had to bring up the November of 1946 incidentally since it is vaguely similar to the situation we see now in that it was very mild - I think we all know what occurred from late January 1947 ;)
