Autumn 2022 - General Discussion

We need a dry spell now. I am seeing flooding/waterlogging in places that I have not seen in a long time. Recent winters have given us wet months but we always get dry spells to bring down the water levels. I am always afraid of the time where we get significant rain from Oct-Mar.

This week has seen 'a bit of a 'respite'? Coming close to 80mm here in Galway since the start of the month. 😂 and over 100mm since the start of this particular spell of weather (since Oct 27th)

Don't know if it's good or not but one thing I've noticed are plants are still growing. I planted Cabbages back on the 20th Sept and they're already getting heads forming the the middle. Himalayan Honeysuckle that should be dying back is still growing shoots.

Does anyone remember Halloween back in the 80's. Cold days with watery sunlight and frost. Most of the leaves would be off the trees and you'd be bundled up when heading out.

Possible interesting weather ahead Monday the 14th or Tuesday the 15th November next week.

There's the possibility of a significant storm for the west coast of Ireland or maybe even the whole of ireland or maybe even it won't even get near here and stay out off the west coast and miss us entirely. There's an intrusion of artic air with a low pressure system and heat from the south and east just edging it.

ECM and GEM has it affecting us and the GFS has it just west of us.

GEM looks nasty enough.

Early days and all that still ..

Aw no I'm flying back into Dublin Tuesday evening

Incredibly mild Autumn alright. Today was nice too but the rain is back in Galway. Flooding is becoming a real risk now - I'll post some water level stats later.

Athlone has passed the median flood level. Not a good start to Autumn/Winter for the midlands.

Realtime waterlevel

Wind gusting to 93kph in Belmullet and 15c. In June it was 13c or 14c. Going to be teens until at least Sunday and possibly after that. No real cold weather yet forecast.

Wonder will Eamon Ryan ban cars completely after November's heatwave!

And wet!

There's a storm system that can't decide if it wants to go North or South. If South we get a brief cooling if North more mild weather.

Todays Max

Noisy, Stormy and Warmy North Wicklow.

Like a tumble dryer. 😒😃

18c in Derry right now

A dirty day, as they say, in Cork City - the worst kind of day, wet, windy….yet 16 degrees!

These very mild conditions at this time of year remind me of Nov 94. Good for the heating bills, I've only had the heating on for 3 hrs since March. When will this warmth end? Getting beyond a joke now.
