UNSETTLED WEATHER AND wintry showers are likely to hit Ireland later on this week, as temperatures fall to the low single digits and could drop below freezing in some areas.
The weather today is the warmest it will be at for the week, with afternoon highs of 10 to 14°C. Tonight will be a bit cooler with possible rain showers across the country.
Met Éireann forecasts that by tomorrow night showers will spread out across the country, with some becoming wintry in northern areas, especially on higher ground.
Temperatures will just hover above freezing tomorrow night in fresh to strong gusty winds.
Thursday is likely to see the weather get colder again, with highs of just 4 – 8°C during the day in a mixture of sunny spells and widespread showers. There may also be some frost in sheltered areas.
By Thursday night the temperatures will be lower again with lows of -1 to +2 °C. The weather will become clearer in many areas with showers becoming confined to Atlantic coastal counties.
The outlook for Friday and the weekend is shaping up to much the same.
Wrap up well!
I can’t believe we get cold weather in November. Next they’ll be saying it could be colder in December!
@Gerard O’Brien: Perish the thought. And if it was too warm they’d be blaming Donald Trump for saying there’s no global warming. Going forward.
16 degrees in Wicklow last night!! https://twitter.com/SCOElectrical/status/798272278010228736
@⚡ SCO Electrical ⚡:
17 degrees in Leopardstown at 8pm last night even saw a convertible with his roof down.
@Emma Roberts: So we are supposed to feel guilty when we get a nice day?
Get used to it!
“Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
I shall live and die at my post.
I am the sword in the darkness.
I am the watcher on the walls.
I am the shield that guards the realms of men.
I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.
To serve on Trump’s Wall.
As Jeremy Paxman once said: it’s November, what do you expect.

@TheGateFlorist: He must have seen that for now we are on the warm side of the Jet Stream but that is moving and we will be on the cold side by late tomorrow
OR the other side of the M50
Meanwhile the weather story of the week has to be “Politicians in Stockholm said the policy of “gender-equal” snow removal has failed after the weather brought Sweden’s capital to a standstill last week, with hospitals reporting a fourfold increase in broken bones”
So how does this square with the announcement of RTE that this was the hottest year yet. This has been announced for over 10 years now, so why is it still cold. Because we are being lied to. See the Irish energy Blog
@Val Martin: you just don’t get it do you Val? Its not global warming its climate change.
Global Average
