    same here, apart from being beautiful to wake up to a morning frost and clear blue skies, it would really help towards drying out the land. Sadly there is another deluge on the way this week!

    Fingers crossed we see many more days like today during the Christmas week as well as January and February.

    Can't believe it is ten years ago on this date when that horrendous spell weather, which resulted in much of the west and south being under water, began:

    Although rain started here the night before; heavy, driving rain that resulted in a horrific traffic accident just outside of town. Galway City was even worse hit on that night, with over 50mm falling in just a short space of time, and this was only a taster of what was to come.

    10 years later, and the sky is summer blue.

    We had 3 possible routes home
    2 of them were flooded by the time work decided to release us early mid afternoon
    Never want to see the likes of it again
    The scars run deep :D

    Quite nice in waterford now. Sun shining and a bit of heat still in it. Looks like some convection off the south coast

    Great day in meath, really love these days like this, chilly, very sunny and dry


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭weatherfiend


    Beautiful day in Dublin 18, sunny but crisp. A very heavy frost on the car this morning and it still hung around in the shady spots while I was out walking about 11.

    Has MT issued his winter prediction yet?

    Daily temperature anomaly for Autumn so far (up to yesterday). Shows just how cold this November has been so far.

    We have to go back as far as the year 2000, and before that, 1985, to find a November as cold up to the 18th. Some signs now that temps will recover somewhat as we get into the closing third of the month, but with more in the way of wind and rain about, not necessarily feeling all that warmer.

    Data is courtesy of Met Eireann.

    certainly looks milder for the remainder of the month with temperatures rising into double figures over next few days. Some places could see 13 or 14C next week. I welcome it because the past 3 weeks of mostly cold, cold rain has not been the least bit enjoyable. Unfortunately it seems the rain is here to stay tho regardless of temperature. If it's going to rain, i'd rather the temperature be bearable rather than very cold but still yielding just rain.

    Totally agree although more rain is not good news!

    Bring on the mild for the next few weeks but once mid December comes around I want an end to it. Much colder conditions with frosty mornings would be welcome for the remainder of December. We are bloody due a cold Christmas!

    Oh I hope not. Mild but dry would be nice for Christmas.

    The first of probably a few weather rainfall warnings for this week, has the look of producing floods by the weekend as the land gets increasingly saturated.

    ground here is still saturated from the rains of the past 2 months, flood waters have gone, but the ditches here are still full of water. It won't take much for the floods to come back. If the rainfall totals over the next 10 days are to be believed then many parts of Meath and Kildare at least may finish this Autumn with record breaking rainfall totals for Autumn.
