    still a relatively nice dry day here in Meath and feeling much milder, however the rain is on the way over the next few hours.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭Donegal Storm


    Nothing but drizzle in Letterkenny so far, first time in a long time I've stepped outside and not felt cold though, very mild out


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Wild out here. loud and rumbustious..Yellow marine gale warning in progress /effect and to continue the next days as per the met ie advisory.

    Was not expecting this. Ah well..


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,746 ✭✭✭appledrop


    It's back, was a nice 3 days without it though, blowing a gale outside now, sigh

    I'm raging its lovely all week when in work, then come the weekend it's back to the horrible weather!

    On the plus side shopping + housework done so hopefully tomorrow is a nicer day for spending out + about.

    Raining since late morning in cork city. Absolutely pelting down at the moment


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Wind song and rain music.. read on met.ie " rain until Tuesday", I really did not need to know that early on Sunday. :eek:

    Ah well. Nothing to be done. No walk again. My daffodil buds have been withered by the wind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Darkening and loud deluge. Not pleasant in any way. I am having to light the fire in MARCH, which have not done for many years..

  • Registered Users Posts: 10,024 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo

    Latest GFS temp anomaly forecast for next Friday:

    44.png

    Long way off yet but if it plays out anything like it is forecast, then this would be the deepest negative anomaly I have seen for the general Norwegian Sea region in quite a number of years, and certainly since I started looking at these maps.

    New Moon

    24 hour rainfall warning for just clare
    Bizarre


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,679 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    RTE lunchtime forecast showed between 200% and 250% of normal rainfall across the country over the next week, highest values in the west. Looks like the deluge is back for this week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Second torrential hail shower of the day in cork city. Shopping center I’m in has a glass roof and boy is it loud


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Squally all the day long with occasional sunshine. The squalls are violent and wind thrown.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,572 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    Looks like it'll be windy and horrible all week again. I can't remember a stretch of weather this bad, ever, those few days where it died down during the week were a small respite.

    Well some folk wished for a real winter.. Be careful what you wish for!

    I left Orkney to escape the gales and dire wet. I have been cheated!


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


    Had a couple of real heavy showers today that left 6mm of rain but otherwise not to bad, plenty of sun in between, tomorrow looks awful

    You probably should have done some research first


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,679 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    the dry spell of the past week is certainly behind us now with no shortage of rain or showers over the next week. We were beginning to make progress with drying out the land but like any dry spell between September and now, they are very short lived.

    There are still promising signs for the second half of March, but these were originally for February, then the first week of March, then the 2nd and now they are pushed back into the 3rd or 4th week of March.

    Imagine moving to Offshore Island, Mayo, to escape gales and rain :pac:

    As I have said before I did! You have no idea of the climate out there, 2 hours away from the mainland.

    Gales of up to 127 MILES per hour that lasted three days. Barely got light in winter; at most 4 hours daylight. Thick mud everywhere.

    Sounding familiar?

    lol.... I was very careful re Ireland and was here in the late 70s also and a much brighter Ireland then. Walked and cycled in the sunshine then.

    All your fault!

    See my other mail!

    And been in Ireland 20 years, mostly west coast and never like it has been of late. This winter has been bad everywhere. The weather is dying, diving.

    And by the way I came offshore to escape far worse things than gales and rain! FAR worse! Safe even from covid19 out here. A paradise compared with DUBLIN!


    Listening to the tide crashing stones on the nearby shore.. Lovely! No traffic, no noise, so pluses weigh out the minuses.. THANK YOU all for reminding me of that! Peace!

    So yes, imagine!

    lol...

    Yellow rain warning for clare looks even more bizarre now

    it's as if the past week of relatively dry weather didn't happen. Very heavy rain here in Meath and pools of water collecting all over the driveway and running down the side of the roads.
