Weather in Sept?

K09

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea what the weather is expected to be like in September? Any medium range forecasts on the net?

I hope to take a couple of wks off to paint the house and do some traveling/hiking around Ireland.

Thanks.

according to that dude from new zeland that matt cooper has on his show it looks like the first 2 weeks of september are to be nice and sunny ! he has got the predictions correct in the past so lets hope he's right again.

Here's what he said:

AUGUST, another wet month for all, with the east the chance of dry windows 4th-9th and 21st-25th and the SOUTH some sun 25th-30th.

SEPTEMBER, likely to be the warmest and most summery month for all, with best of summer weather between 6th-17th for the whole country.

Well so far he's been wrong, at least for the Dublin area, - August has been drier than normal up to yesterday - Casement had only 30% and Dublin Airport only 40% of August's rainfall up to then. Although today's rain probably brought it closer to normal. Also, to be fair there was virtually no rain recorded from the 4th-9th in the Dublin area - the driest days of the month - hope he's right about the next 5 days although it doesn't look likely.

Mobhi1 How many kilometers square is DUBLIN? Did you expect the forecast to be just for You?
This guy is always bang on with his predictions.

Here's Ken's daily predictions in detail for the Dublin area this September.
I'll be able to keep a daily record and see how close he really is.

The 2nd week looks like the best part of the month and overall not too bad.

This guy predicts by a method that has eluded the rest of modern science. He says he has discovered a relationship between phases of the moon and weather. Dial-a-psychic would be just as accurate.

Make enough predictions and some of them are bound to come true. He said August would be a wet month, which it isn't, and there would be dry spells in the south from 25th-30th. An inch of rain on the 25th in Valentia doesn't look like a dry spell to me.

He's a quack. His essay on Meteorology's wrong turning is a rant about climate change. Climate change is bogus, therefore meteorology is bogus. Still, I'll bet there are suckers out there who'll pay for this nonsense.

It seems fairly wet to me and the soil is wetter than normal in all parts of the country. Most stations are above normal rainfall for August.
Valentia is a bad rep for the south since it traditionally has almost the highest rainfall recordings.

You're right - I was only looking at Dublin and the east coast, which was slightly drier than normal.

He's still a charlatan.

He did have Monday ( today ) as the first day of the settled spell, we'll just have ignore this evening's and tonight's weather.

Thanks for putting that up. If Met Eireann gave a prediction like that, they`d be hammered.

Met Eireann don't do long range predictions but they get hammered anyway. BBC's Met had a go at one for this year but got it way out.

This is as close to being the most accurate prediction as I've ever seen, and the above prediction made in March this year!

well spotted B.T . the best long range forcast ever , some people think the weather is whats going on above their house ! narrow minded , to be within a day or so 6 months ago is amazing

Yes, a superb prediction indeed. If the models are correct, bar a brief interruption, this settled spell may even last right through until the end of September.
