Weather for October

The next month of the season is October and this traditionally brings a great mix of weather.
Temperatures by day are usually around 12 to 14c and night time values with be in low single figure ranges in clear weather. There are often a lot of storms in Ireland in October especially late on for some reason.
October of 2009 promises a bit of the same really to be honest. The month may start off dry in Ireland with some bright spells and light winds but rain will soon sweep in from the North and West. This will be the pattern for the whole month from then on with just brief dry intervals. However although rainfall will be plentiful throughout the month there will not be the high figures that we saw during July and August. Temperatures will be well up to normal too and some mild nights may well mean that Ireland will experience one of its warmer Octobers. Frost often occurs during this mid -Autumn month but this will not be the case in 2009 as the Atlantic will influence the weather for the most part.
