Certainly it looks like this October is going to be bringing a lot of wind and rain for the first 10 days at least. Temperatures will be on the mild side of normal too as the wind will be from a more Southerly direction. Night time frosts will not be a problem at all. High wind gusts are a low to moderate risk at present.
There is a series of Low Pressure systems that are gathering energy over the Atlantic ocean and will be passing between Iceland and Ireland bringing a lot of strong winds to both countries. This is a normal scenario for the early days of October but expect a lot of debris and leaves on the road. The debris will be mainly in the form of broken branches from trees.
As the month goes on expect things to quiten down somewhat but it will still be on the unsettled side. A monthly temperature for October of about 1degree ABOVE normal is predicted this year for Ireland by weathergossip. Rainfall will also be ABOVE the norm and Sunshine slightly BELOW.

Warm September 2010
Its turned out to be a very warm September overall with temperatures of 1.5c above normal in most parts of the country so far. Again the nights continue to be very warm or mild with temperatures rarely going below 10c.
The Long Range Forecast is predicting a mild end to the month after a brief cold spell on the weekend of September 24th. It would seem that it will turn out to be one of the warmer Septembers on record though a wet one too.

Unsettled Weather on Way
The Long Range Weather Forecast is predicting a LOT of rain for Ireland over the coming weeks and it will be quite windy at times also. After such a gloriously sunny start to the month of September things will rapidly go downhill weatherwise.
Rainfall for the next few weeks is going to be well above normal and though frost does not look like being a problem in the medium term the temperatures are going to drop back somewhat. Highs of 18c is the best that can be expected and Lows of 9c.
Late on in the month of September would be the next window of opportunity for any good weather but it appears that Summer is now a distant memory.
