Cold October to Continue

October 2012 has turned out to be a very cold month indeed with a mean temperature of only 8 to 10c in Ireland so far and temperatures down as low as minus 1 celcius. This pattern looks set to continue.

October 2012 sunnier than normal

Low pressure systems are streaming down from our Northwest much like they have been in a number of our Summers but because it is October it is even colder. If this were to happen in December or January say, there is a high chance of widespread snowfall. However as it is early Fall it only brings frost and fog to most areas as the the moisture escapes from the land creating very picturesque scenes.

So what is the long range weather then. Well weathergossip is still looking at a cold October followed by a mild November and December. It is probable that October in Sligo will turn out something like this in 2012.
