    in the 80s the reverse usually happened, you could often bank on seeing frost or snow during the Christmas holidays once the big day itself was over. In fairness there has been very little mild here since October with temperatures in the single digits most of the time.

    For example between xmas day 85 and new yrs was very frosty if I recall.

    I well believe it Gonzo. Even as a kid in the mid 90s in particular I remember some very cold frosty conditions between Christmas and New Years. That seems to be too much to ask for nowadays.

    Fingers and everything else crossed that these mild conditions won’t last long and we’ll be into a much colder pattern change just after New Years Day.


    When it comes to the 90s, between xmas 92 and new yrs comes to mind for frosty weather and of course xmas 95, xmas 96 being a less cold version of 95 but chilly.

    after some cool weather on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, looks like it's going to turn mild or exceptionally mild for at least a week. Temperatures could peak at 3 or 4C above normal around New Years which could get values on the ground to 13 or 14C. Some of the runs are going for +13 uppers over us which is very high for this time of the year.

    If high pressure was to set up, this would still show a very mild temperature but on the ground inversion along with frosty nights would lower the daytime temperature significantly. Thankfully it doesn't look as wet as recent months, there will still be some rain or showers but the intense deluges look like they are over. Temperatures lower after New Years Day returning to more normal values.

    There’s very little chance of it being 13/14 degrees the same way if it was snow there wouldn’t be much chance.

    I wouldn't discount it. We often get 13C in the winter. Most of last winter was in the 12 and 13C range, we hit close to 18C in February which was exceptional so anythings possible. I don't think 13C or 14C in December is unusual unless it carries on for weeks.

    That station is Spain's Malin Head. The anemometer is located what looks like more than 10 metres above the lighthouse, which itself is on a headland 80 m amsl. Other stations in the area are reporting speeds way lower than that.

    But it's still a very impressive speed for a non-convective system in that area.

    That station had a slightly stronger gust of 177 km/h during the next hour, at 18.40Z, just after the analysis below. The strongest gradient right in that area.

    So all eyes are now on this potential storm hitting Ireland on Christmas night and Stephens day.

    Mt has it on his daily forecast and Met Eireann had it on their televised forecast as one that should be kept an eye on.

    A few passing light showers in central Mayo this morning with a couple of bonus rainbows added in. Nice to see blue in the sky also and glimpse the heavens again after the fog and mist of the past few days. A blackbird and a thrush have been busily working the lawn here the past few hours. Not a bad December morning at all.
    6c.

    Dark the air, dayless the sky, drab the ocean.

    A really pleasant morning in this part of Mayo after last night's rain. Some lovely patches of sunlight illuminating the nearby hills. Little or no breeze here this morning adding a gentle softness to the day. 6c.

    Restless and moody out here. Sudden sunlight, then dark clouds and violent deluges. Bitterly cold winds. Evanescent cloudscapes
