Well the OPI will certainly be tested this Winter Sundog.

 

Personally, I am happy with the way the models are looking at present, particularly in the upper atmosphere. The coldest and snowiest of winters are often preceded by very wet Novembers. This for me is due to low pressures systeme stalling in the Eastern Atlantic as they are impacted by the relatively higher pressure to the North.

 

Eventually the wave lengths will change to give our cold.

Good to see your thinking MS I would for one still remain hopeful for the coming season

[Rocheydub]

And in the much shorter term, a substantial rainfall event for the SE/E coasts tomorrow by the looks of things...

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Seen that on the RTE weather Rochey, the fields are flooded enough so hopefully it won't take another 6 weeks before this wet cycle stops

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Well it's a blowy aul morning here still waiting for the rain hopefully it will blow on through quicker than forecast

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Enjoyable post by LSs in the Scotland thread well worth a read

[Rocheydub]

Tipping down all morning here, but nothing too heavy yet, Have the radar page open on Met.ie with interest aimed at the deeper colours!!!

[Rocheydub]

It's just started bucketing down here now, a rain rate of 110mm/hour!!!! madness!!! Have collected 9mm rain since 9am

From the Met Eireann twitter, the drop in temps at Roches Point as the cold front passed through. https://twitter.com/MetEireann/status/532791436593623040/photo/1

Quite impressive.

[Rocheydub]

Massive squall just now in my location, not near my weather station, but that was impressive with roof tops cascading water way too much for guttering on all the houses! Could be in for some impressive totals if this persists!

[be cause]

Dublin-Derry squall line just passed over me .. impressively heavy rain

[jules216]

Look at those rainfall totals, if this keeps going like last winter we have a month and a half jump start with rain then I am buying a speed boat to get to work every day  

[stormforce 10]

seriously heavy rain here this morning back garden quite flooded. nothing like what the east are going to get though.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Bogg off rain

[BornFromTheVoid]

Below is the % of average annual rain that has fallen so far this year, compared to the 1981-2010 average, based on the monthly data from Met Eireann here http://www.met.ie/climate/monthly-data.asp

 

 

 

So far, out of 25 stations, 6 have passed their average annual totals with 7 weeks still remaining, while another 10 are within 10%. This isn't including today's rainfall!

 

Bright Green = 110-120%

Dark Green = 100-110%

Dark Blue = 90-100%

Light Blue = 80-90%

Grey = No Data Reported for November

 

The Northwest seems like the only place that might end up below average.

Flooding in Enniscorthy today, from the AA Roadwatch twitter.

[Rocheydub]

And a brief respite from the deluge, skies brightening... But not for long!

[BornFromTheVoid]

More flooding in Meath

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Brightening skies here but not for long by the looks of it

[ronan]

Hows it going guys. A miserable day out tonight. After a model wobble over the past few days things are starting to look good again if the 12z is anything to go by.

quite cold out there tonight. wrap up if your stepping outside tonight.

[ronan]

It certainly is Storm and if the earlier rain wasn't enough then the next batch is just hitting the south coast as we speak. Some serious flooding about today.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I got a post removed, the shame of it, I won't be able to show my face in public for weeks now Aside from that a lot of flooding on the roads, dry atm but round 2 on the way tonight. Watch the roads and stay safe folks
