Wet November

November has started off very wet again this year in Ireland with rainfall above 200% of the normal already. Fields and plains are already getting flooded. It looks like there will be a lot of rain or showers in the next 10 days too and it will get colder too so very miserable weather indeed.
There is also the risk of a storm this Sunday to throw into the mix so things will not be boring anyways. With the High tides on Sunday there could be a lot of coastal flooding but this is beared out hugely by the track of the depression and whether it slackens over Ireland as it is forecast to do or whether it pushes a few 100 km East of Wet of this path in which case there could be very strong and sometimes damaging winds.

Temperatures are going to start off in double figures but thereafter the will fall sharply to single figures and struggle to reach 10 degrees too often for the next 5 days. Some frost is likely on Saturday night so it can be seen that there is a total mixed bag of weather in store for Ireland.

Rainfall from Sundays storm could top 30mm but because of the speed in the movement of this system it could end up not dumpimg much rain in the North and West but it will slow slightly over the East and South.

  1. Temperatures should rise from the 12th onwards, with more heavy rain, colder temperatures and some flooding in the week after the 19th.
