Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

A beautiful cold clear evening here in Castlebar :)

Beautiful yellow moon rising in the NE.

Met Eireann text forecast saying this for Sunday "Sunday will be cold and mainly dry with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees with light breezes."

But the graphics have heavy rain pushing up over the country....

Very light wintry precip here in Kildare 1°c.

The east and south midlands may get a dusting of snow ❄️ tonight especially wicklow mountains ⛰️ and up Sally's gap could be hazardous at times, if anyone gets snow please take pics and upload them 😀

The Irish Sea firing up.

Temperatures lifted by 1c here in carrick still -1c but overnight may rise to 1c if cloud ☁️ covers

Showers sneaking by Navan on the radar.

Current wind direction here North northeast which is aiding the trains as its a huge sea fetch all the way up to Sellafield/Cumbria area,ideal in fact for wicklow/wexford if you had it prolonged,you couldn't get better

Lovely to see somewhere nearby get snow at this time of year. Just damp and unpleasant in Dublin/Kildare this morning. Really disappointing to lose the crisp conditions.

A dusting possible

Today

Some frost and icy patches this morning with a light dusting of snow locally across the northeast. Scattered wintry showers will mainly affect eastern counties, with many other areas staying dry with sunny spells and just stray wintry showers. While most of the wintry showers will present as a mix of rain and hail, there is the chance of sleet and snow, especially over higher ground in the East. Highest temperature of 3 to 6 degrees

Tonight

Tonight will be very cold with a widespread sharp to severe frost and icy stretches. Dry and clear across most areas. However, some scattered wintry showers will move into west Connacht and west Ulster, as well as along parts of the East Coast. Lowest temperatures of 0 to minus 5 degrees.

Tomorrow

On Friday morning, frost, ice, and any mist or fog will gradually clear with a dusting of snow locally, mainly in the Northwest. The first day of the meteorological winter will be very cold with well scattered wintry showers. Overall dry though with sunny spells. Highest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees in light west to northwest breezes.

Light dusting of snow in my area of meath (Rathkenny) and currently snowing again

Have the people who got snow not got camera phones?

It looks like Friday night might be our chance in the west and northwest for some snow

Ya seen that. Prob like the photo above in Sligo town. Maybe inland areas might get more and Donegal of course.

Lots of showers of light hail despite nothing showing on the radar here, satellite shows the Irish sea quite active :

This morning's snaps in the Wicklow Mountains. Not that much snow but very compact black ice on the roads.

Denmark 🇩🇰 has had its coldest november night in 30 years and an ice day first since 1965 , I'm very surprised 😮 because Denmark is usually colder than Ireland but warmer in the summer
