    A simply Lovely looking model run promising balmy weather all next week and for the Grimbo.

    No wind, no frost, no snow and :cool::cool: HEAT! :cool::cool: I'll be having some of that I will.

    On Sunday the Azores High pokes northwards...normal service means that them pesky fronts all head off to the North Atlantic somewhere .....or to Norway which needs the rain to fill its Hydro reservoirs.

    The rest of the week then starts to look like this, mmmmmmmmmmmmm .

    A very warm and merry Christmas to all from a delighted Sponge Bob. We may well see the higher end of the winter competition forecast ranges coming under some sustained pressure. :)

    'Unless', of course, high pressure to our southwest links with the HP over Greenland (green arrow) and HP over Russia continues to build westward toward northern Europe (brown arrow). This would increase the possibility of colder weather from the Continent extending toward the UK and Ireland or alternatively a plunge of cold air from the north. The latter is preferable as the cold over Europe will not have been in place long enough to merit a severe easterly to develop.

    Yes, I did say 'unless' ;)

    None of that is shown in the model run....and supporting graphics....so Nyah Boo to all that negativity and perishing cold. A heatwave is what most of us want.

    A "heatwave" in the middle of december is the last thing i'd want.

    If ya can call 12 degrees a heatwave that is. Boring weather.

    A heatwave this time of year is seriously unhealthy, it foretells of constant flues and Summer colds

    We have had the exact same weather day in and day out for what seems like an eternity! I'm too bored of wet and grey.

    Snow, frost, ice... this is what I want!!! This is what I was hoping to escape to from the bland weather we've suffered through all this year!!!

    I just hate wet and grey :( :mad: :(

    I want real weather that's conditional to time of year, because if OP's weather prediction for Christmas day is right, it will be the same out as some of our summer days this year!!!!!!

    WTF???

    Might have been more credible if you had waited for the most recent GFS run to complete before you started this thread :rolleyes:

    Not much change in the 06z. Still builds Sunday and stays in place for the next 10 days. None of that cold muck in sight anywhere. :) Lets see what happens on the next MAJOR run at 3pm shall we???

    After the seismic changes in the models over Fridays events, you can hardly post Christmas day charts with any confidence at all. 12 days out, way too many variables.

    I'll call Tuesday Now. No weather station will break 70KT gusts and the top gust Tuesday will probably be in the 61KT-64KT range in Belmullet. A stiff breeze and that is that. :D

    I'll call Thursday on Monday some time.

    Tuesday looks harmless enough to me, a stiff breeze and that is all. :D

    Thursday looks the same, a ta stiffer on the Irish Sea maybe

    Sponge your a pessimistic troll who just says things on here that nobody else will agree with just to get a reaction. You give out about people getting excited about a storm 5 days away and then go and quote a chart for Christmas day on the 12th of December as if it's gospel.

    Tell that to all the Storm/rain/snow lovers in the other "daily mail style" threads ;)

    I think everyone here is entitled to their own gospel

    How in gods name can you blame someone for trolling if he puts up charts to back it up

    What is pessimistic about hoping for a nice calm warm(ish) christmas


    BRING ON THE HEAT !!!!!!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Vudgie


    While I am no expert, I think that it is interesting to take all opinions on board and to then either make your own mind up on the merits of each or most accurate of all 'wait and see!".

    The constant calls of 'troll' to anyone that deviates from a cold weather forecaset are most unbecoming of what is generally a very respectable corner of Boards.

    Merry Christmas to you too Sponge Bob, this mild Christmas will give you time to prepare for the ungodly Arctic Freeze that will bestow us in January. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,009 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    GFS 06z OP run was a mild outlier :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭irish1967


    May the gusts of a thousand polar lows infest your chilly bits ! ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Love to see this coming off....I have three days work I need to get done and if I can get it done before christmas, that would be great. If this day week comes off like the above chart then I might actually have a few quid for the festive season...bloody wind and rain/snow.

    Perfect for a few games of golf over the Christmas period, the last few weeks have been a bit miserable. Even time to plant up some of the winter flowers and get in more spring bulbs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,498 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    What kind of heat are we talking about?

    Record breaking for time of year? 16/17c??

    Christmas day swimmers might be happy if that came off


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    What kind of heat are we talking about?
    Constant 10c-12c for 10 days with very few excursions into single digits.

    About 12c-13c if that came off


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    How would you be looking in terms of rain in that scenario...would we have high humidity and night fog?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    High Pressue setup blocks out rain fronts, night and morning fog is likely as the country is already sodden.

    The development and settling of a chunky high pressure system has been flagged for a while now and while its still in the F1 time frame nothing (except wilful hoping by some) is strongly contradicting the trend.
