Looks even more possible in parts of south-central rural Ireland tonight.
About the same here, sunny and crisp autumn weather with local frost in the mornings although I am too far into the urban area to see it yet.

Was on the NRA website this morning, and I noticed that at N4 Enfield, it was 0.1 degrees at 06:00 this morning0 -
Mullingar reached -0.4c this morning; Casement almost got there at +0.3c.0

____________________________
TODAY will be dry with some sunshine mostly in the south-central to eastern counties, as cloud will tend to thicken both to the northwest and the south by this afternoon. Winds will be light and highs will reach about 13 C.
TONIGHT will be mostly cloudy with drizzle starting around midnight in western counties, and lows of about 7 to 9 C under thickening low cloud and a raw east wind setting in before morning.
FRIDAY will start out damp with light rain, a chilly SE wind turning more moderate and southerly by afternoon, and highs eventually reaching 15 or so, with rainfalls generally about 2-5 mms. Winds will peak at about 20-30 mph.
SATURDAY seems likely to be cloudy with more intermittent light rain or drizzle, and possibly some fog developing over the west as more humid air seeps in from the southwest during the day. Despite this, highs will remain close to 15 or 16 C.
SUNDAY will see this low cloud and drizzle trying to hang in despite a tendency towards higher pressure, so that by afternoon there could be some better spells of dry if not sunny weather, and highs near 16 or 17 C.
NEXT WEEK will be dominated by a fairly mild high pressure set-up to the east of Ireland with generally southeast winds and highs well up into the higher teens (16-18 C), the question will be how cold it may get at night under variable cloud cover and some dense fog patches (results are likely to vary considerably in the range of 2 to 8 C). This spell seems destined to break down rather slowly and give way to a chilly period of light east to northeast wind flow.
My weather report for Wednesday; sunny with a high near 15 C, currently clear and rather cold outside at 2 C (10:45 pm local time).
By the way, it was officially -0.7 C for the low on Wednesday morning at Mullingar, this being the first "air frost" of the autumn in Ireland.0 -
Apparently Katesbridge, Co. Down, just north of the border, recorded -3.1 yesterday (according to the UK Met Office) which was the lowest in the UK and, of course, the island of Ireland.0

Friday, 9 October, 2009
_________________________
TODAY will be rather raw and (eventually) wet to start as rain moves slowly east accompanied by SE winds 20-30 mph; temperatures will be around 9 or 10 C while this moves through. The afternoon should improve, first in western counties, then by later afternoon in the east, as partly cloudy skies arrive on SSW winds and temperatures increase to about 15 C.
TONIGHT will be cloudy with some fog developing, and lows generally about 5 to 8 C; any locations that have clear skies for a while could drop closer to the frost point and so watch out for patches of frost in rural districts.
SATURDAY will have a few sunny intervals before more cloud moves in during the afternoon; rain will follow and it could become heavy at times in the southwest. Highs will reach 16 C.
SUNDAY will see the rain ending by early to mid-morning and it could be foggy for a while before the sun eventually burns through the low cloud, with highs near 17 C.
NEXT WEEK, another prolonged dry spell appears likely, with just a slight chance of drizzle in the northwest at times, otherwise hazy sunshine, overnight fog patches that could be quite dense, and some lows close to the freezing point (a range of about 0-6 C) with fairly mild daytime readings of around 14-17 C. This high is currently looking fairly persistent and it could bring quite a long dry spell of up to two weeks.
Thursday here was a sunny day with mid-day temperatures around 15 C.0 -

What time will the rain move away from the east coast tomorrow..? Am i mad thinking of pitching my tent once last time..?0

__________________________
TODAY will begin rather misty or locally foggy but sunny intervals will develop and last well into the early afternoon before cloud gradually spreads back overhead, and it should be reasonably warm too with highs of 15-17 C.
TONIGHT will be cloudy with intervals of light rain, and widespread mist or fog developing. Rain may become heavier in the northwest before dawn but otherwise, amounts could be generally 3-7 mms. Lows will be about 8-11 C.
SUNDAY will see this patchy morning rain turning to drizzle or mist before once again the sun breaks through, with some hazy sunshine by afternoon and highs around 17 C.
MONDAY to THURSDAY are likely to be dominated by high pressure, with mild or even warm sunny days once morning fog burns off; nights will start out clear and turn misty or foggy after midnight. During this spell of fine weather, expect highs of about 16-19 C and lows of about 3-7 C although some patchy ground frost could develop in low-lying rural areas. Fog may become quite dense during this spell of light winds (any air flow should be southeasterly).
LATER in the week and towards the following weekend, this high may break down enough to allow for some weak frontal systems with some cloud and possibly some light rain although that seems more likely in Connacht than elsewhere.
So, not a bad weekend and quite a pleasant week coming up ... meanwhile we are cooling down gradually as much colder air spreads across eastern British Columbia from Alberta, and spills out towards my location near the coast. By the time it does that, it is not all that cold any more. Calgary in Alberta had a high of about -5 C today with snow, but here it was cloudy and around 12 C, although we are into the lower dewpoints associated with arctic air. The rest of the weekend seems likely to continue this way here, with high cloud, a bit of weak sunshine, and cooler daytime highs than last week, near 10 C.
Enjoy the weekend.0 -
IT's Cloudy but dry here in North Tipperary. Very light breeze and a bit on the humid side. I know it's still a bit away but i hope the high pressure holds out for Halloween and trick or treating with the kids. Thank's again M.T for the updates as usual very accurate with your predictions.

____________________
Well, the current indications are for the dry spell this week to start breaking down to more variable weather next weekend and my personal over-the-horizon wild guess for Hallowe'en would be windy with showers ... but as to the more foreseeable future.
TODAY the low cloud and drizzle will slowly break up by about mid-day to give some pleasant intervals of hazy sunshine by afternoon, and highs of about 16 C.
TONIGHT will be clear at first, with extensive fog, mist and drizzle returning after midnight. Lows will be about 7 C on average but could fall lower in some places.
MONDAY to THURSDAY, expect a spell of dry, pleasant weather with hazy sunshine in most places each day, somewhat more chance of low cloud or drizzle persisting in the northwest however, and nights clear at first, with fog and low cloud developing, and isolated ground frost in a few spots.
The range of lows will be fairly large but should be generally 3-7 C; and daytime highs will range from 14 C under persistent cloud to 18 C with any longer sunny intervals. Winds throughout will be quite light.
FRIDAY this spell should start to break down to more cloudy conditions with a developing southerly breeze, and the following weekend should be rather showery with moderate winds. Temperatures will be fairly mild.
My local weather on Saturday was sunny and rather cool with a 15-20 mph east wind, highs near 13 C. It is clear and cold outside tonight and we should have some frost by morning here.
Further east in Alberta, temperatures have been below freezing for about three days now and snow has covered many parts of the prairies in the past two days, as arctic air has moved well south into the north central U.S.
Enjoy the day.0 -

__________________________
As I mentioned with the September spell of fine weather, the computer models always have some problems on timing the breakdowns of these blocking patterns. Now we're getting a slightly different reading on that timing, as the indications point to a reinforcement of the high from the west around Thursday, giving enough added strength to the block to take the fine dry spell through next weekend.
With that in mind, from TODAY to WEDNESDAY, expect the current weather to hold about steady, with cold and somewhat foggy nights (otherwise clear) leading to hazy, partly sunny and mild days, with a tendency to more low cloud and drizzle perhaps in the northwest although this appears more likely on Tuesday than today.
Highs each day will be 15-18 C and overnight lows in the near-frosty range of 2-7 C with perhaps the occasional report of a sub-zero reading in the central valleys.
By late Wednesday, some additional cloud will develop with a weak front that will separate the two highs and there could be a period of low cloud and drizzle that keeps Thursday morning lows a bit higher, but then this cloud should gradually break up and lead to several more days of similar fine weather with light winds. Thursday itself could be a little cooler as winds come around to the north at 10-15 mph for the day, but from Friday to Sunday this current weather pattern is likely to redevelop. Then it should turn a little more unsettled with cloud and showers developing next week in a south to southwest flow.
Of course, we keep getting different views of how this spell is likely to break down so the main thing is, the week itself should be dry and mainly fair.
Sunday here was a cool, sunny day with highs around 12 C, and morning frost. Cloud is now on the increase as the arctic front, which had moved to our west, is slowly returning to the east, so that Monday (a holiday here) is likely to be cloudy but still dry.0 -

I got this long range weather forecast for the Uk from a website called positive weather solutions. They do a long range forecast for each season instead of weekly and monthly predictions. I don't know how much we can rely on their predictions but it will be interesting to see how accurate if at all they will be. I will be sticking with your Predictions M.T.
Winter 2009/2010
December 2009
An unsettled start to December, so expect low pressure systems to supply plenty of rain accompanied by strong winds, which may well cause flooding. Around coastal regions to the north and south, and up through the central part of the UK towards the Midlands, there is the possibility of tornado activity. Through mid December, a generally settled phase of weather will present itself, with some bright days and chilly nights, and as we head towards Christmas, this is looking to be a rather overcast affair with some drizzly rain around, serving to keep temperatures up over the festive season. As with previous years, the chances of a White Christmas aren't overly favourable, but there are indications that the north eastern side of the UK may well see some snow on Christmas Day. Over all statistics indicate a 43% of a White Christmas.
January 2010
The new year starts on unsettled note with some rain around, but generally for most, nothing too unusual to usher in the new year. Temperatures on or around the average, but overnight some sharp frosts can be expected. Through the middle part of January, temperatures will take a significant dive, with some penetrating hard frosts and indeed, a sustained period of cold weather around this is likely. There will also be the threat of snow, and January could well see a 'big freeze' scenario. Therefore, disruption to road and rail services, plus school closures, is a distinct possibility. The latter part of the month sees temperatures staging a minor recovery, with rain generally edging out the snow for a time. A cold month though, with some keen arctic winds, which will enhance the wind chill factor.
February 2010
An unsettled start to the month, with the possibility or rain, sleet, or snow, and with cold winds, a continuation of a 'big freeze' scenario cannot be ruled out. Through mid February, Winter's grip will be at its tightest, with a sustained cold blast across the UK, penetrating frosts by night, and the threat from snow for a fair swathe of the UK, which will bring affairs to a grinding halt. As with February 2009, daytime temperatures will struggle to get freezing, with the wind chill factor keeping the 'real feel' temperature well below freezing for a period of time. The month ends on a cold note, with the continued threat from snow. Over all, February will be bitterly cold, and the cold snap will continue into March.0 -
That sounds like 1947 all over again, I may have my own long-range forecast before the month is over, no real teasers to offer yet.
Looks as though the first of the week's two high pressure regimes is already starting to break down and there could be enough cloud around all night to prevent lows from dropping much below 10 C, with the result that there would be more mist or light fog than dense ground fog as inversions will be less pronounced near the ground. More of an update in the morning forecast. Currently clouded over here after some weak morning sunshine, and a rather chilly 10 C at 3:45 pm local time on our "Thanksgiving" Day (we have it much earlier than the better-known American variety, this is because we have winter much earlier too.)0 -
Tuesday, 13 October, 2009
____________________________
TODAY will be mostly cloudy with some drizzle at times, and an interval of light rain across parts of Ulster, although by mid-day a few hours of hazy sunshine could break through in the south. Highs will be 15-18 C.
TONIGHT will be partly cloudy with somewhat lower temperatures again as more breaks develop, and lows reach about 6-9 C on average. Some dense fog may develop.
WEDNESDAY will start out foggy in many areas, break to some brighter intervals, then cloud will thicken with periods of light rain moving across some northern counties by afternoon and evening. Highs will be 14-17 C.
THURSDAY will have a cloudy start and somewhat colder north to northeast breezes ahead of a reinforcement of the high pressure from the northwest; highs will be held down to about 14 C after a morning low near 8 C.
FRIDAY to SUNDAY this new high should build up and this one looks a bit colder especially at night when frost seems likely in rural districts, with daytime highs of about 13-15 C under fair skies.
NEXT WEEK, this high will break down in stages; at present, the timetable for this looks rather slow again so it could be cloudy, cool and dry for several days as winds slowly pick up from more of a southeasterly direction. I think the last few days of October are likely to become more windy and showery again.0 -

________________________________
TODAY will be mild and mostly cloudy, with patchy light drizzle but also some chance of a few hazy sunny intervals. Highs will be 14-18 C.
TONIGHT will become mostly cloudy although some clear intervals may persist in the southeast. Lows will therefore vary from about 10-12 C in the west and north, to 7 C in the southeast.
THURSDAY will stay cloudy for the first part of the day and could stay cloudy in Ulster but sunny periods are likely elsewhere; somewhat cooler highs of 13-16 C will be fairly common in the east, but 14-18 C in the west.
FRIDAY will start out clear and cool with local fog or frost; overnight lows will be somewhat lower around 5-7 C, and daytime highs in the range of 13-15 C.
SATURDAY will become partly to mostly cloudy with cool morning lows of 5 to 8 C and milder daytime highs of 16 to 19 C.
SUNDAY is likely to be cloudy with some light rain or drizzle spreading in to northwestern counties, and highs near 15 C.
NEXT WEEK we're currently seeing a more active pattern returning, and I would expect it to get quite windy near the end of next week.0 -

______________________
TODAY will have a misty start in most places, with hazy sunshine breaking through for a while, before thicker cloud spreads in rather gradually from northwest to southeast across the country from about 10 o'clock to 2 p.m., this should be mostly a dry and weak front but it could contain the odd shower not leaving much if any accumulation. Highs will be around 17 C again. It will begin to feel cooler especially in the north after the front drifts past (wind-shift line might be more apt than front here).
TONIGHT will be overcast in most places with a slow clearing trend well after midnight for some in the north. Lows will gradually fall off to 6-9 C but could remain above 10 C in some parts of the south.
FRIDAY will be a somewhat cooler, sunny day in many places as whatever cloud is left from the weak front breaks up in the morning, and highs will generally stall at about 14 or 15 C.
FRIDAY NIGHT will be clear and colder than recent nights with scattered ground frost and fog patches, lows of 2-6 C and possibly as low as -2 C in the usual cold spots.
SATURDAY will feature hazy sunshine as the sun is gradually obscured by invading higher cloud, this eventually producing some lower cloud and rain for the northwest by evening. Highs will be near 14 C.
SUNDAY will be cloudy with a few brighter spells and some light rain in places, but still a passable sort of day with a high near 15 C.
MONDAY and TUESDAY are currently looking quite a bit breezier to quite windy at times on the west and south coasts, as a SSW 30-50 mph gradient sets up, and there may be some rain although it's looking like more of a cloud and wind event. Temperatures will be fairly mild, near 14 C.
Wednesday here was a mainly cloudy day, milder than recent days with a southerly wind setting in, some light rain, highs near 14 C. A further warming trend is now expected; the very cold air I mentioned is slowly retreating to the east (but advancing your way, albeit at a pace where it might arrive in November some time). This cold air is reaching the New England region and firing up an active storm track along the Gulf stream out past Newfoundland.0 -
Friday, 16 October, 2009
_______________________
Not much change in the outlook ...
TODAY will start out cloudy and the sun should begin to break through here and there by mid-day; longer sunny intervals should become widespread by afternoon, but possibly not everywhere. The highs will be held down to about 13-15 C.
TONIGHT will be partly cloudy to clear, and some local frost could form in rural districts. Lows will be around -2 to +4 C. There could be some patchy fog as well after midnight.
SATURDAY will see increasing high to mid-level cloud, and it could turn a little drizzly by afternoon in the northwest. Highs will reach 14-16 C.
SUNDAY will be cloudy with a few sunny intervals, and there could be some patchy drizzle or light rain. Highs will be near 15 C.
MONDAY and TUESDAY are looking windy and rather wet at times with an average of 10-15 mms of rain, but winds may be the bigger issue, as they rise to SSE 30-50 mph and then veer more SW'ly by Tuesday. Highs each day will be around 15 C, nights will be quite mild near 8-10 C.
LATER in the week, there will be more showery outbreaks and renewed stronger winds from the southwest at times.
I hope the sun comes out early for you today ... we had a reasonably pleasant day on Thursday here, with considerable cloud but only a bit of rain, and a high near 16 C. Raining outside now at midnight local time.0 -
Whats with all the cloud, I though high pressure ment fine and clear..??

Saturday, 17 October, 2009
__________________________
TODAY will bring some sunny intervals although there is cloud slowly spreading back from the southwest this morning, as well as some risk that ground fog will lift to low cloud banks in some other (mainly eastern) counties obscuring the sun at lower elevations while higher locations will be sunny ... where the sun does break through it should warm rather steadily to about 15 or 16 C, and eventually some western locations could see a few light showers too.
TONIGHT will see partly to mostly cloudy skies and a few light showers mainly in the north and northwest. Lows will only fall to about 5-9 C.
SUNDAY will see variable amounts of cloud and hit or miss drizzly light rain as well as some chance of longer sunny intervals for a lucky few ... and highs should remain in the range of 15-17 C.
MONDAY will not be a very nice day based on current indications; strong east to southeast winds will develop, periods of rain will set in, and with temperatures of 12-14 C it won't feel very mild out in the winds (30-50 mph). Rainfalls should be mainly in the 5-15 mm range.
TUESDAY will be not much better either with more strong winds and periods of rain or showers, and highs around 15 C. A further 5-15 mms of rain would be likely.
LATER in the week the strong winds will tend to ease somewhat and remain mostly in the east to southeast direction, slowly veering more to southwest, with temperatures remaining in the near-normal range (13-15 C) and additional rainfalls from time to time.
Meanwhile, Friday here was cloudy with periods of rain, not too heavy for the most part, and reasonably mild temperatures peaking around 16 C.0 -
Sunday, 18 October, 2009
___________________________
TODAY will be cloudy with occasional light rain developing (expect 3-5 mms) and highs around 15 C. Some fog may develop by late afternoon.
TONIGHT will remain overcast, foggy and drizzly with stronger winds arriving after midnight in southern districts. Lows will be 8-10 C.
MONDAY will be overcast with periods of rain, and gusty E to SE winds in the 30-50 mph range, rain amounting to 5-15 mms, and highs rather chilly due to the strong winds, 12-14 C.
TUESDAY will continue mostly cloudy with somewhat less strong SE winds (20-40 mph) and additional rainfalls of about 10-15 mms. Highs will be about 14 or 15 C.
WEDNESDAY will be mostly cloudy with occasional showers and highs near 14 C.
THURSDAY and FRIDAY will be more variable with some dry or even sunny intervals, and some showers. Highs will remain 13-15 C.
NEXT WEEKEND is looking rather windy and mild with showers.
My weather on Saturday featured a heavy rainfall most of the early morning hours, followed by a mostly cloudy but quite warm day with a high near 17 C.0 -
Monday, 19 October, 2009
__________________________
TODAY will start out rather cloudy but the heavier rain won't arrive in eastern counties until mid-day, as it builds up over the west during the morning. Winds will begin to back from southerly to southeast, rising to 20-40 mph. Stronger winds may develop late afternoon or evening. Highs will be around 14 C and rainfalls will average 10-15 mms.
TONIGHT will continue windy and wet with lows around 10 C. There may be some heavier rain at times (15 mms potential). The winds will continue SE 25-45 mph in exposed locations.
TUESDAY is likely to bring a few brief breaks in the overcast but showers could then become heavier and more thundery in some places. Winds will not be quite as strong but still from a southerly direction. Highs will be around 14 or 15 C and rainfalls will once again average about 10 mms.
WEDNESDAY will be somewhat more variable although considerable cloud and some periods of at least light rain or drizzle are likely, with moderate east winds developing at times. Highs will be around 13 C.
THURSDAY and FRIDAY will bring slightly less gloomy weather with a few sunny intervals but still the risk of showers, and highs around 14 C.
NEXT WEEKEND is looking rather unsettled with a period of stronger winds developing again around Saturday.
The following week generally looks rather cloudy and near late October averages of 12-14 C for daytime temperatures in a mostly southeasterly flow. The models show some risk of a stronger wind event later next week or towards the end of the month.
My weather report for Sunday ... cloudy with a few light sprinkles of rain, and temperatures steady around 13 C. So, we seem to be in about the same kind of pattern at this time. On the other hand, it has been unusually cold in New England (northeast U.S.), it was snowing during the football game at Boston which is quite unusual for October 18th.0 -
Tuesday, 20 October, 2009
___________________________
TODAY will see the last of the windy, wet regime from last night moving across northern and eastern counties this morning (and the wind speeds are dropping off to 20-30 mph as this progresses), while some sunny intervals develop in a mild southerly flow across the south and west. The rainy weather will slowly clear through Dublin around mid-day but will take most of the daylight hours to clear Ulster; however, as the partly sunny weather moves further north and east this air mass will tend to develop low-level cloud to a greater extent, so the end of the rainy weather will be less distinct the further northeast one goes ... and in the drier conditions further west, some renewed showers could develop by afternoon in Kerry and Cork, parts of Limerick and Clare, these moving further east by evening. Highs today should reach 15 or 16 C in the sunshine and stay closer to 13 C in the rain further northeast.
TONIGHT will become showery again with winds now more SSW around 15-30 mph. There could be a brief thundershower in some parts. Lows will be quite mild, 10-12 C.
WEDNESDAY will be mainly overcast with frequent showers, some thundery, but fairly light winds in most parts as the surface low moves close to the west coast and then drifts north. Highs will be around 14 C.
THURSDAY will also be mostly cloudy with showers, and somewhat stronger SW winds again, with lows near 8 C and highs near 15 C.
FRIDAY will be partly cloudy with just isolated showers, and a temperature range from near 7 C to near 15 C.
SATURDAY is looking quite wet at this point with gusty winds, and SUNDAY is looking windy and cooler with some showers, but eventual clearing. Temperatures on the weekend should be fairly steady around 14 or 15 C, dropping off gradually late Sunday.
Next week still looks rather unsettled and at times quite windy.
My weather report for Monday ... some morning fog gave way to intervals of sun and cloud, without any measurable rain, and highs of about 14 C.0 -
Wednesday, 21 October, 2009
____________________________
TODAY will be partly to mostly cloudy, with scattered heavy showers, some thundery, moving generally northward and most likely to be heavy in central parts of Ireland. Highs will be 14-15 C and rainfall amounts generally near 10 or 15 mms although potentially as heavy as 30 mms locally. Winds today will be southerly about 15 mph with some brief higher gusts.
TONIGHT will continue mild, showery and at times foggy, with lows around 9 or 10 C.
THURSDAY will continue unsettled, much like today with renewed local heavy shower activity. Highs will be about 14 C.
FRIDAY may bring an interval of dry weather especially across the northern two-thirds of Ireland; the southern third of the country could get back into some periods of rain with the next system arriving around mid-day. Highs will be about 12-14 C (and morning lows could be as cool as 5-6 C in clearer locations in the north).
SATURDAY is looking rather windy and unsettled with some heavy showers moving through in the morning. Keeping an eye on potential for winds stronger than 40 mph, at the moment not conclusive from the guidance. Highs will be around 13 or 14 C. Winds will veer from southerly to westerly during the day.
SUNDAY will start out overcast with some additional rain, then gradual clearing, and highs of about 13 C, with fresh westerly winds most of the day.
MONDAY could be a fairly pleasant day under the current guidance, before yet another system arrives on Tuesday with more rain and mild southerly winds.
My local weather on Tuesday was cloudy with light fog, but no measurable rain. Highs were around 13 C.0 -
UPDATE _ Wednesday, 4:30 p.m.
_________________________
Possible localized flooding can be expected especially in the southwest and south central counties this evening as more lines of heavy and sometimes thundery showers continue to move north, with local rainfalls varying from 15 to 40 mms, some of the heavier rainfalls could easily flood smaller drainage areas and low-lying urban areas.
If any consolation, same thing here except it's 0830.0 -

UPDATE _ Wednesday, 9 p.m.
______________________
The heavy rainfall alert continues for southwest and south central counties, and is now extended to the southeast as heavy rain is developing offshore, moving north towards Wicklow. Further amounts of 10-30 mms seem likely overnight.0
