    A damp dark windy morning here in Castlebar and its not going to change much for the day.

    I have a feeling there will not be much of a change for another week at least.

    Over 20mm of rain now in Castlebar, the Atlantic is starting to make up for the less than average rainfall we received in November.

    Jesus I thought November would have been one of the wettest months of the year. Mad how we perceive weather compared to the stats

    A dirty day alright in Mayo. Sheets of driving rain and mist throughout the day. Wind also up a few more notches this evening. Afternoon caved in very quickly to darkness.
    11c.

    unsettled or very unsettled conditions look locked in for the next 2 to possibly 3 weeks. Temperatures will alternate between mild, cool and cold between low pressure systems.

    What would be considered standard winter weather to be honest.

    The models were wrong about cold in the timeframe so why are they right now just because it's showing unsettled?

    Probably because it's the norm/more usual weather!

    Because the weather showing for the next few weeks is Westerly based.
    This is the norm and with the charts showing that you could safely bet your house on it been right.
    The cold that was been predicted was always in doubt in my eyes it was too far out in fi , people we're talking about trends but in my opinion you would need to see the charts predict that cold for at least a week solid for it to even be a trend in my eyes.

    cross model agreement on an unsettled outlook in the short to medium term.
    This is the sort of weather we get nearly every winter.

    There will be mild days but there will also be cool or cold days. It won't be anywhere as mild as last December where 11 to 14C was common throughout the month.

    Plenty of wind and rain over the next few weeks, but also some wintryness at times during the cool intervals. Many of us could see snow flakes over the next 2 weeks but probably very little if any lying snow away from high ground.

    No sign of any Northern Blocking, positive AO+NAO.

    It depends were you live. We had one of our Wettest Nov ever on record at over 170mm at Dublin airport. It was 230% more than average!

    So far I’m actually happy with how this winter is playing out in the west. Lots of cold frosty days, clear skies. Some deluges for a few days but then back to cold and frosty again. This pic is from Sunday looking at Christmas trees 🎄.

    I see nature has a way of making this post null and void in a short space of time, oh well! Wet, dark and blustery today in Co. Galway and looking at the forecasts more to come!


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,078 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Been awake 14 hours and it's been just drizzle the entire day in Galway. No let up whatsoever.

    I found today felt really cold, mostly because of the wind and drizzle. It does feel a bit milder now compared to earlier on in the day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Goldfinch8


    Prolonged heavy showers here this morning. Miserable. Central Mayo. 8c.

    Very nice day in Galway today, the calm before the storm perhaps. Dry, reasonably bright and no rain as yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,743 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Wind really starting to pick up here in North County Dublin. It's been a while since we had stormy night here I actually asked my husband what noise was at first!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,880 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Was a horrible day here, was at the meath game in navan and it felt baltic, straight home and lit the fire, currently bucketing down and very breezy

    Weather warning likely to be issued now for tonight and into tomorrow

    Tuesday will be a blustery day with strong winds and very gusty conditions associated with an active front moving eastwards across the country. Generally, winds will be below warning thresholds but damage to some structures and trees, already weakened from the effects of Storm Atiyah, is possible.

    Rain and showers will be heavy at times as well, especially in Atlantic coastal counties.

    Valid: Tuesday 10 December 2019 04:00 to Tuesday 10 December 2019 16:00

    Issued: Monday 09 December 2019 11:00

    Lovely break from the rubbish weather today with plenty of sunshine in Dublin. Pic during afterglow at Killiney Hill.

    Is it just me or has 2019 had the most depressing miserable weather for years? I don't remember anything like it. I'm old enough to remember 1985 and 1986 and they didn't seem to be this bad for so long. At least the bad weather didn't seem to drag on forever with no let up in sight save for an hour here and there. The ground is so wet, it's so dull. I thought we might get some respite with December, some crisp frosty but sunny days. No such luck, it's more grey skies, rain and wind. A horrible year for farmers and anyone who works outdoors.
