Sunday, 12 October, 2014 Forecasts for Ireland TODAY ... Dense fog may persist to about 9:30 or 10 oclock in some rural areas, otherwise, sunny with a few cloudy intervals for most, with extensive cloud confined to north coastal districts. Light northeast winds, highs 13-15 C. TONIGHT ... Increasing cloud in southeast, remaining clear elsewhere, fog developing in lower lying rural districts. Lows generally -1 to +3 C but 4-6 C in southeast. MONDAY ... Cloudy across parts of south and east, risk of an interval of rain although latest guidance tends to keep the rain just offshore (except perhaps Rosslare to Waterford). Isolated and brief showers could develop later in the east as winds freshen from the east-northeast. Highs about 13 C but could reach 15 C in parts of Connacht and west Munster. TUESDAY ... Morning frost and fog patches, then some sunshine with variable cloud spreading in from south, more sunshine in central and northern counties, winds backing to southeast and increasing to 40-60 km/hr by afternoon and evening. Rain approaching west Munster by evening. Lows -1 to +3 C and highs 13-15 C. WEDNESDAY ... Breezy to windy, periods of rain, milder, morning lows 9-12 C and afternoon highs 14-17 C. Winds SE veering to S 50-80 km/hr in exposed coastal regions. THURSDAY-FRIDAY ... Mild to warm, moderate southerly winds, a few sunny intervals and passing showers, lows near 12 C and highs near 17 or 18 C. WEEKEND OUTLOOK ... There could be an interval of strong winds, as the large Atlantic low absorbs Fay north of the Azores, but some guidance suggsts that it will survive in some form with a tighter gradient reaching northwest coastal regions around Friday night or Saturday morning. Otherwise the weekend should remain quite mild and variable in cloud cover, some showers still possible, similar temperatures (12 to 18 C). There may be a gradual cooling trend setting in by Sunday or more likely Monday. From there to end of the month, likely closer to average for temperatures and relatively dry, but with the risk of a passing windy system of tropical origins later in the final week. That one is just now getting organized near the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. For Britain, rain and strong east to southeast winds will spread in to the south tonight and continue most of Monday, 20-40 mm possible, and temperatures both today and Monday steady near 14-16 C. After that, the trends will be more similar to the above forecast. In North America eastern regions will turn very warm for a couple of days ahead of a slow-moving frontal system now in the central plains states. Rather chilly behind that today and in the Midwest on Monday, but trending back to warm in the far west, with weak frontal systems coming on shore in British Columbia. My local weather on Saturday was wet to start out then partly cloudy, high near 17 C. -- Peter for IWO
