2: What station will record the lowest from Met Eireann's Network (including ACS Stations - see wow.met.ie or wow.metoffice.co.uk)

My guess: Thomastown ACS (Kilkenny) -9.6c

Tullow -7.7 because that's the temp I said for the monthly weather forecast for mt hahaha

E: make it tullow, oak park, and carlow if three are needed, all -7.7

Darwin · 08-01-2021 6:22pm

Well given the automated met.ie temp forecast is showing -9 for my location tomorrow morning, let's try:

Lynally (Tullamore): -8.1c
Roscrea: -9.2c
Portlaoise: -9.0c

M.T. Cranium · 08-01-2021 6:54pm

-9.1 at Danno's location, -8.5 somewhere else within 50 km, I don't know the co-op network in much detail, but among the official stations, -7.4 at Oak Park.

esposito · 08-01-2021 7:08pm

I will go for:
Gurteen -8.2 C
Oak Park -8.1 C
Durrow: -7.8 C

John.Icy · 08-01-2021 8:05pm

Forgefield (S.Kildare, MetE WOW) -> -8.3c

Goldfinch8 · 08-01-2021 8:45pm

Durrow -8.6c
Gurteen -8.4c
Mullingar -8.3c

pauldry · 08-01-2021 9:04pm

There is a 13-cm covering of lying snow there, so no doubt helping the temps fall. Max today was -3.5 C.

When and how will the minima be determined? The synops report minima at 6 am, but at this time of the year the actual minimum is reached a couple of hours after that, so in that case it will have to be the daily data the following day. I don't think the WOW stations report actual minima, do they?

Anyway, my choices are

-6.3 Johnstown
-5.8 Oak Park
-5.3 Garrymore

Gonzo · 08-01-2021 9:19pm

Dunsany -8.4C
Oak Park -9.6C
Mullingar -7.2C

it's possible some places without any stations could get to -10C.

pad199207 · 08-01-2021 9:21pm

Chilly over the snowfields near Edinburgh

SophieLockhart · 08-01-2021 9:25pm

2am sounds a bit late to close it lol

Gurteen -8.6
somewhereineverheardof -9.4

I doubt it. I can't see -7 being beaten. Current dewpoints are down to around -4 and should fall another couple of degrees. That will be the limit of the low temperatures.

Larbre34 · 08-01-2021 9:38pm

Steady at -4 minima the last 2 obs, talk of -10 at any given station is a bit fanciful.
