    Mod Note


    This thread is for posting/discussing/analyzing CHARTS in the shorter range timeframe up to T120 hours (next 5 days) for Summer 2024.


    If your post does not specifically relate to a chart then it doesn't belong here - Off topic posts will be moved


    Thanks


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Spring is now over with so time to move on and focus on the summer short range forcasts.

    A ridge of high pressure is moving in from the west to deliver a mostly dry and settled weekend. Temperatures will be close to average to a little above and it should feel relatively pleasant.

    High pressure begins to move away from Bank Holiday Monday with a cool north-westerly airflow becoming established through next week.

    Next week looks a bit of a battleground between the colder push from the north-west and the high pressure just to our south.

    Overall next week will be colder than average with temperatures possibly a degree or two below normal.

    A mostly dry week to come with many parts of the country only getting trace amounts of rainfall, however the north-west and Donegal in particular may experience showers at times leading to low rainfall totals there.

    Looking at the models, Sunday could be a notably cool day away from the far south, especially in the north/northwest. The GFS has maxima of 9-11°C while the EC/GEM/UKMO are more like 10-12°C. It's still unclear how far south the notable cold will get but it appears that the northern half will cop it. I tried to attach the charts but it doesn't seem to be working.

    Unfortunately the attaching charts/photos feature on boards is completely broken right now.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Warm temperatures over the next few days with little rainfall.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Showers about today ( maybe a few isolated sparks throughout the afternoon ) and more showers in parts tomorrow , better Monday until later when rain spreads over the country into Tuesday as a LP meanders over or close to us and improving Weds, less rain after that it would seem and improving temperatures.

    The raw output on the Met forecast for Friday afternoon is suggesting a fairly warm afternoon in many parts, with Meath being the most pleasant.

    We are now approaching the closing stages of summer and this has been a mostly cool, cloudy and drizzely summer up to this point. However the following week will see temperatures where they should be or slightly above so the coming 6 day period will see the warmest temperatures overall since summer began. There is no heatwave or plumes on the horizon but temperatures should reach 19 to 22C most days over the coming week with a few places maybe getting to 23 or 24C. In a summer that's been mostly mid teens this will be most welcome so make the most of the comfortable temperatures. Not much rainfall either over the coming 5 days so lots of opportunities for being outside gardening, walking or sitting outside in the garden having a lunch.

    There's still over an entire month (a third) of summer to go. And September often sees us get the best weather. It's still bright until 9.30 in the evening. I'd hardly say we're in the 'closing stages' of summer.

    We're still pretty much at the height of summer. And everyone should try enjoy it rather than always be looking ahead to the end of things.

    nothing wrong with being optimistic but let’s face it, it’s a long way back from this, we’re stuck in this for the next few weeks. Not the end of the world though, we’ve had only two good Augusts this century so we’re well used to this crap .. thank god for Ryanair!


    … from bad to worse

    what’s going on there Elmer and what’s the time period thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,156 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    Time period? I think we can write off August unfortunately, if anyone can find a fine and warm August that followed a cool dull July from past records/archives I would like to know but I’m not aware of any?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,211 ✭✭✭pad199207


    If it’s any consolation there Thunderstorms across the Algarve tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,156 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    there’s no hope now,



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Models showing high rainfall totals in the W especially over mountains, could get over 50mm in 24 hrs in parts.

    Windy in coastal areas and breezy to blustery overland.

    For comparison to get an average.

    Interesting to see the lower temperatures under the rainband on Monday whilst the East gets warm up to around 23C and warming up behind the front from the West after it passes .



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Some very big rainfall totals up to Monday morning.



  • Registered Users Posts: 571 ✭✭✭gugsy


    Already 76mm in Connemara with more to come tonight.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    The remnants of Ernesto brushing past us later Weds into early Thurs brining wet and windy weather, the rainfall mostly overnight into the early morning. Fairly windy along the Atlantic coastal areas may warrant a yellow warning for a time especially in the W and NW perhaps, so far rainfall looks moderate to heavy overnight but not showing too much accumulations at the moment.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Unsettled this week with wet and breezy to windy weather at times as LP becomes dominant, has an Autumnal look to it. Rainfall accumulations rising as the week goes on especially along Atlantic coastal counties. Temperatures only fair some days getting up to the high teens or low 20's in just a few places although humidity might make it feel warmer during some of those frontal passages.

    Will have clear spells too after /before frontal passages but showery too more so towards the coasts, should get decent dry breaks further East.

    Low chance of an isolated thunderstorm tomorrow more so tomorrow evening/ night along the Atlantic coast perhaps.

    The Jet is well fired up.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,970 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Yes indeed Autumn is kicking in early

    Noticed on RTE weather after the news that Mark Bowe said this week would be drier than average yet then forecast a Wet Monday and Wednesday(I think) and frequent showers the other days.

    As far as Im aware there could be over 50mm of rain in some parts this week which is twice normal about so where did he get that from?



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Heard that too, I think he made a mistake. The two charts below up to 120hrs and then up to Sunday, a lot more than drier than normal.



  • Registered Users Posts: 377 ✭✭Robwindstorm


    I noticed that too. He was giving fairly dry weather for the east on Tuesday and Wednesday on the weekly 1pm weather, slightly changed it to showing more showers for the east on Tuesday but still good sunshine for Wednesday while also showing a band of rain crossing the country as well on Wednesday on the 9pm weather forecast.

    A bit confusing alright, a bit like my text above 🤭



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,931 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    This week will probably be dryer than normal again, the weather models have been showing very wet conditions all summer and it hasn't happened. Grass here is starting to turn brown everywhere despite no high pressure or settled weather, it's a weird summer that's unsettled and dry at the same time.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Models showing it windier now for Weds night into Thur. Quite windy along coastal areas. ARPEGE about average amongst the models atm.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,970 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Yes quite a notable event for time of year. Nationwide yellow I would think



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,596 ✭✭✭Dazler97




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭adocholiday


    Still a bit of uncertainty with the impact for tomorrow night. ECM, GFS and HARMONIE all showing 60-70 max overland with yellow-level gusts for the West coast. ARPEGE showing a similar setup but stronger gusts on the west coast. UKMO and ICON doing their usual over estimations. I still think it should only be a yellow warning for only the Western coastal counties however Met Eireann may issue one country-wide just due to it being the first wind storm since Kathleen in April and trees are still in leaf so loose branches and small/weakened trees might come down and lots of garden furniture still out so might encourage people to take it in etc. Overall I don't think it will be a notable event.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    I think GFS has upped the wind speeds a bit overnight Weds into Thurs but probably topping 70 km/h or so overland, for now anyway, I think the ECM might follow suite nudging up the wind speeds a bit more. There are some models stronger, ARPEGE stronger still than the ECM and GFS but lower than the UKMO and ICON but not by much, will see. Looks like a deepening wave forming close to Ireland . HARMONIE showing gusting 80 to 85km/h overland, mainly higher ground I would think.

    Thurs night into Fri morning looks quite windy now, could easily get up to 80 km/h overland and higher in coastal areas. this is evolving by the run, track not fully certain yet but looks like a deepening depression crossing the country, strongest winds South of the center, could produce very strong winds in the East around early morning commute time as it deepens exiting the E, NE coast . One to watch as the models get to grips with it. Would be very unseasonal strong winds and heavy driving rain in parts.

    We're getting to the butt end of August,and we can start seeing stronger winds speeds from now on. Obviously ex hurricane remnants are fairly common at this time of year too. It's been a quiet summer for wind, so this week has had me sweeping bits of leaves and twigs already, and more to come.
