Autumn 2024 - General Discussion

You'd wonder what this would be looking like if it was the end of January as opposed to now.

The met eirrean super computer is based in Iceland, it covers 4 countries, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands and the other I've forgotten, weather Warning could be issued they said in the next 24 to 48 hours, they just covered all this on the today show

It’s Denmark.

The United Weather Centres West collaboration has created a new weather model with two forecasting domains, covering the four countries’ areas of interest. Red area shows the Iceland and Greenland domain, blue area shows the Ireland, Denmark, Iceland, and the Netherlands domain.

The new model domain extensively covers an area from East Greenland to southern Italy, dividing the geographical area in squares of 2km in size, an improvement compared to the previous 2.5km grid of the previous model version Met Éireann operated. The model represents the atmosphere vertically in the form of 90 levels, a substantial increase from the 65 levels of the previous operational model. These are resolution improvements which translate into better representation of the meteorological parameters across the domain.

The new model is running every hour, while the previous computing capabilities allowed to run it every three hours.

Thank you 😊 I couldn't remember the other country and I had just heard it , early dementia at 27 I think

On the website, search a specific location forecast. Then It’s directly below the 7 day outlook and above the hourly forecast for that location. Has beta beside it.

Jaysus lads it's like we skipped Autumn and went straight to winter!

Absolutely miserable day.

Looks poxy in Dublin tomorrow. Rain and gale force winds in the late afternoon.

Very windy this morning in Leitrim.

ME's hourly forecast says it should be pissing here since 8am. Thankfully dry in Galway City, freezing though.

you can imagine if they did the colour shading would be impossible to read, and the chart would be hidden away in the maze that is their atrociously laid out user interface.

Heavy rain for the last few hours here in Leitrim. 9C. String gusty wind.

Is Irelands weather getting worse?

Maybe it's connected to La Nina setting up but this year has been cold in Ireland since May. Bar last week temperatures are running low. However my phone app hinted at 18c in October next week sometime. So just in case we think wel get a snowy winter .....

Anyways max of 8.9c in Gurteen yesterday another sub 10c for the limited collection of Sept under 10s

Some flooding on the Castletown Road in Dundalk this morning. The road has been reopened in the last while.

Bit of a swing and miss to the south of us this morning. Looks like we're waiting for the whole system to start sinking south.

Beautiful day

Very windy, North Wicklow. Sea looked like it was boiling.

We were due a lot of rain. Exceptionally dry September at many stations. Mace Head only had 12mm up until today. It had 150mm last September. Dunsany has only recorded 20mm of rain in September whereas it got over 100mm last September. Apart from August it was a dry May-Sept in contrast to LTAs.

Just looking at the direction of the rain coming off the Irish sea today….Imagine this was Dec/Jan 😳
