    It will be cold at the end of October and start of November then milder

    I dont forsee much out of the ordinary bar the cold end of this month and some storms in December. But every year is different but dont ya know if theres snow it will be the same as the record breaking Summer just gone and ignore Ireland and move to Britain and Europe

    charts are backing away from that cold end to October already. Slight chance of something cooler in early November.

    Torrential rain on the Carlow side of Abbeyleix around 2.20, pretty badly flooded roads. Looks like it is very localised though.

    I think we've got lucky here at Dunshaughlin, having missed most of the heavy showers, just a few light showers yesterday and today. Waterlogging from the past month is finally starting to go away.

    This mornings ensemble run shows the possiblity of 4 fairly dry days to come, perhaps the first mini dry spell since the deluge started a month ago. Looks increasingly mild too for the final week of October.

    similar here in Dunshaughlin, a wet, dull, damp and fairly cool day. Hopefully we get a small break from the wet conditions from tomorrow for a few days.

    Nice bright day in Letterkenny again with plenty of sunshine, from reading on here I feel like we've been getting the best of the weather over the past month or so, has been far more nice days since early September than we got all summer

    Potential looks limited to high ground and some inland spots. Give it a couple of days.

    at best probably a mixture of rain and sleet to lower levels. If it's cold enough snow may stick on the mountain tops for a few hours. This is all happening at least a month before the season really begins. We're still only midway through Autumn so miracles can't be expected. It is likely to be cold and very wet for most of us. The roller coaster will be going through safety checks over the next month before tickets are available!

    At this point of year, sleet would be pretty interesting to see so I'll settle for that. Hopefully it's not our winter though!

    I remember Halloween 2008 vividly where we had a dusting of snow on the Dublin mountains. Could well happen again this year.

    I remember i think it was October 30th 2008 there was about 2inches of snow at my sisters house in Meath.

    Met Eir's 5 day forecast at 9.30 showed 16c for Friday.
    I'd say plenty of confused people with all the talk of possible wintry weather Friday.

    This October hasn't been that bad on the whole up to now in my part of Dublin, many nice enough days. Chilly max temperatures generally but good spells of sunshine a fair amount of the days. Not my favourite (2018 was easily that) but I've definitely seen worse Octobers like 2011 and 2012. Better than I thought it would be. Besides showers, a lot of the rain recently since Saturday 5th has come through overnight so days have tended to be fairly sunny.

    Loud, lusty gale out here. Hardly let up this last while and set to blow today. Bringing a chill bite.

    Seems to have morphed into winter very swiftly this week..

    October has been pretty bad up until the Monday (I think) a week or two ago with the heavy rainfall in the morning. Since then it hasn't been bad so I guess I'll call it an OK month considering it's autumn and we were overdue an October worse than what we actually got.
