Previously on weathergossip blog... "a lot of strong winds in October". It did not really materialize did it. But as is oft the case with the weather in October it ends with a storm in a sandwich just like it is today, October 28th.
Back to the weather the gales and wind that are around at present look like they will continue until the end of the month and some steady rainfall totals look like falling especially in Munster and Leinster. Upward of 50mm could fall between Friday and Sunday in some parts of the East and Southeast. The Western half of the country and Sligo look like escaping for a change.
Whatever will November bring after all of this wind and rain. Well at the moment a lot more of the same looks to be the answer. Is it too early to say if the weather is going to be stuck in a mild windy and wet pattern for the Winter? Maybe this is going to be the case but the is Low confidence that a blocker of a High will try to push in around November 10th and should this intensify we could get frosty nights similar to last Winter for a while.
Credit must be given to some weather websites that I refer to and use namely http://www.met.ie/ and http://www.wetterzentrale.de/ These 2 sites provide us with a lot of the data we have on weathergossip.
