irishgeo

thanks lads.

Guess ill have to bring my mayo raincoat.:D

Mr Cumulonimbus

Actually uncertain at the moment.

BBC forecast here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/19650773

Could be dry or on the other hand, potentially heavy rain. Be prepared!

GFS model currently leaning towards a very rainy day, while UKMO and ECMWF are unsure.

Not that I'm aware of, and certainly not in modern times.

The 1939 All Ireland hurling final is famously known as the "thunder and lightening" final, but tough men that they were, they played through it

It was on 3rd September 1939 - don't suppose anyone can get a weather report from that day ?

Weather forecasts were forbidden which inconvenienced both farmers and fishermen.

Anyway Sunday should be good for the match. It's later than the storm threatens.

Redsunset

Could go either way now.

Jean Byrne just gave 2 possible outcomes.

They can't pin it down yet either.

It will either be very wet and windy or miss us.

eastmayo

O it will hit the east on sunday...around 3 30..sad

Redsunset

Yep latest ECM showing it very wet for the east Sunday afternoon.

Mr Cumulonimbus

12Z UKMO has any rain well to the south during the day on Sunday. Could miss us and head into southern England and NW France. Mentioned as a possible scenario on the weather forecast after the 9pm news.

pauldry

I think it will miss us and skirt the Southeast of Ireland then impacting Britain in the main. Monday and Tuesday will be wet though

Redsunset

Yeah tis sure to miss as only ECM showing wet. All could be revealed in the morning

eastmayo

Well hows it looking now..met eireann saying this morning its going to be wet...feck the rain anyway..

pauldry

it will be wet for the match and wet for the celebrations in mayo but then again both of those predictions are uncertain.

farmchoice

met eireanns most recent on line forecast has sunday a mostly dry day over leinster, cloudy in the main with some sunny spells and a chance of some light showers.

so on the whole pretty good for the game. fingers crossed.

up mayo!!

eastmayo

pauldry
