Unsettled and Cool, turning drier

 The weather for the next 30 days promises a lot of rain and wind for Ireland. As we saw on October 16th some very thundery outbreaks of rain caused widespread flooding around Cork City and County with 40 to 60mm of rain recorded on Sunday alone.

The coming week sees more wet and windy episodes and it could briefly turn stormy out West at times. There are several areas of low pressure becoming embedded in each other and it is causing quite a repetitive pattern along a quite active jetstream. 

So how long will this wet, windy and unsettled weather last? Well in around 7 to 10 days there are some signs that things may turn slightly more settled with High Pressure attempting to become more established over the country. There may still be some light rain or showers out to the North and West. 

Mixed August but still warm

 Irelands weather for August looks pretty mixed but quite warm mostly with temperatures ranging 16 to 24c most days. 

The start of the month is quite damp before some settled weather dominates until mid month. This will continue on and off after midmonth but by then there will be more disturbances in the North and West with cooler nights settling in too. 

Rainfall for the month in Ireland will not be as high as recent years but will be near normal in the West and North. 

Hot July for some

 July looks like it will be the hottest month of Summer 2022 as temperatures in the mid twenties will be widespread mid month. Parts of the West and North of Ireland have not seen temperatures above 20c in 2022 so this will be a welcome and sudden change. But almost as sudden will be a Thundery breakdown in the weather as we revert back to the cool unsettled weather with showers for the second half of July and temperatures in the mid teens once again. 

March cold and dry

 March has opened in a very cold fashion in Ireland with a lot of cold frosty nights. In fact there has been more frost in March than all of the rest of the Winter.

You may have noticed too that the grass and trees have gone brown too. This is a combination of the frost as well as storms of February.

Luckily the windy stormy weather for March didn't materialise and after a little rain on St Patrick's Day most of the rest of March should be dry with temperatures of 9c to 15c. Still some frosty nights though.

Storm Dudley and Eunice

 Wind speeds of 140kph likely this week. Northwest and Southwest most at risk.

Flooding and damage and power cuts are likely. More storms next week
