Autumn 2022 - General Discussion

DOCARCH

A wet and windy start to the day in Greystones. 8.0mm so far this morning.

horrible commute this morning to dublin heavy rain wind surface water pitch black. I’ve said it before but the people I met moaning about the heat last summer I’d love to punch! I’m joking of course but I personally don’t like this time of year at all. Will get away for a week again next month thankfully.

Darwin

Looks like the Orange warning counties didn't get the expected amount of rain, perhaps except for the very south east (edit: maybe the met rainfall radar is acting up as the echoes don't look right?). Very heavy rain in the midlands early this morning moving northeastwards and pretty nasty looking weather inbound to Northern Ireland.

Torrential rain overnight in Clonmel anyway, a river of water flowing down the Heywood road from the rugby club direction, I'd be surprised if there wasn't some flash flooding.

Rock Lesnar

According to the gauge, there has been 9.7mm of rain since 5am here in meath, and its still bucketing down

DOCARCH

Full on gale in Greystones with driving rain. 35kts gusting 45kts atm. 20.0mm since midnight.

Danno

Clocked up 22.3mm in south Laois from that front with a nice sup in the embedded squall line that passed over around 6.50am.

Sun is out now, and the clouds are slowly clearing eastwards. 7.6c and just a light breeze.

Kiith

Pretty calm in SW Kerry, but looks like it will pickup significantly in the next few hours.

Graces7

Intermittent solid showers then bright sun.

SleetAndSnow

Have we had a named storm yet this season? I don't think we have! Would that be one of the first autumns in a while without a named storm (granted storm naming only started recently enough!)

Finished up with 14.4mm, and clearing away now, with bright sky to our south

Meteorite58

Topping trees around the garden today here in Kerry, blustery in the showers being convective in nature but good bright spells also, 7.5C now so need to keep moving but grand to be out in it all the same and well wrapped up, good for the soul and the stiff bones ! I need to take every opportunity to be out in the air and brightness this time of the year especially after all the wet weather, don't like being too cooped up and get sick of the heating.

It took until 26th November for last autumn's first storm to be named - Arwen. 2019 did not have a named storm by our Mets in spite of being reminisced as a complete washout on here though it did have ex-hurricane Lorenzo 😏

What Shakespeare called "Infinite variety."

Been much abed so just ( JUST!) sound effects out here... Drummers hard at work on roof and windows...Sleep has been elusive and " the moat" is full...

Sweet peace now..

Rather nice here in Castlebar today,light winds and some sunny spells

Gonzo

a horrible damp drizzely morning here in Meath, cool and wet. Thankfully there are signs that this 3 month long very wet pattern may change to a dryer and settled scene for the first half of December.

A glorious day ... Watched the strips of cloud climbing sideways up Croagh Patrick and its neighbours.. It reminds me of Austrian hiolidays..

Sun dazzling ... a chill in the air but such beauty...

As wild a night as ever was. (sound effects in full cry!) The wind/gale hits the kitchen so hard I cannot use the phone in there..

And icy water being hurled at high velocity. And a bitter chill. The cats are hugging their fur coats close.

Wild winter night - and this is not in the solid yellow zone

Well it's official now, autumn 2022 is the wettest autumn on record for Valentia Observatory beating 2000 by 0.4mm to 22nd Nov. Records here go back to 1892.

I think it’s weird for how unsettled it has been we haven’t had one named storm this autumn. Assuming that’s because the weather often came up from the south, little interaction between cold and warm air near us in the Atlantic to produce anything potent. How much rain did Valentia record?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119913111#Comment_119913111

731.5mm to 22nd Nov.

Autumn 2000 was 731.1mm.

.Donegal.

That’s roughly Dublin average annual rainfall.

Lights flickered a couple of times, heard a few rumbles of thunder.
