October Winds

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.
