New Year Cold Weather

 January 2021 has certainly started cold with wintry showers and some frost. This is how Januarys first 10 days will continue but after this it now looks mild and dry for Ireland.

December cold spell on way

 The long term weather trend for Ireland sees a cold spell of Northerlies persist for the first half of December and there may also be some snow in the mix. The highest risk of snow will be at night or in some of the heavier outbreaks. But snow will not be only confined to mountain tops I feel. However most of the time showers will be of hail or sleet or rain. Christmas is looking very dry and mild.

Long Range Weather for Ireland December update

 The cold spell is signalled to begin on Wednesday with temperatures only in the 5c to 9c range. There will be many showers, some of them wintry and a low risk of snow at night. The weather will stay like this for the first 10 days of December. Also some frost can be expected and temperatures at times will drop below zero with frost at night. Becoming milder as we head to Christmas with temperatures of 7 to 10c expected

Long Range Weather December update

Cold spell now looks likely this coming week and it will stay cold from December 1st to possibly December 10th. After that it does look milder but during this period Ireland will have showers of rain hail sleet and snow and temperatures of 3c to 7c. Frost is also likely at night. 

A Mild November is Coming

Despite all the predictions of a cold Winter there looks to be a very mild November on the way this year with a bit of dry weather at times but other periods of rain. Temperatures will hit 14 or 15c a lot of the time which is quite unusual for the month of November.

Rainfall will be around or a bit below normal and the sunshine figures will just be around normal as it is rare to get a sunny November due to the shortness of the days. 

Later on the Winter still looks like it will be very cold especially during the month of December but the mild weather in November will last all the way through the month as a predominantly Southerly airstream is over Ireland. This will be as a result of a High Pressure to the East of Ireland and a Low Pressure out in the Atlantic brushing the West and North Coasts at times

so there areas will of course be likely to see some rain at times and temperatures will be 13 or 14c here but on the plus side places like Galway Mayo Sligo and Donegal will see mild nights and temperatures not falling below 8c a lot of the time.
