Tuesday, 7 October, 2014 Forecasts for Ireland TODAY ... Some sunshine at times, with any fog dissipating fairly quickly, then increasing cloud, with slowly advancing showers or periods of rain already underway in western counties, and moderate south to southeasterly winds developing. Highs 13-15 C. Rainfalls 10-20 mm in some western counties, about 5-10 mm south and southeast, east Ulster, somewhat lower amounts of 3-7 mm central counties north into west-central Ulster. TONIGHT ... Rain continuing with moderate southeast winds becoming rather strong in coastal west Munster (gusts to 80 km/hr), 15-25 mm rain south and west to 5-15 mm north and east, although it may remain dry in parts of north Leinster and east Ulster until near sunrise. Lows 8-10 C for most, 5-8 C northeast. WEDNESDAY ... Becoming rather windy further east (S to SW 50-80 km/jhr), showers or periods of rain, slight risk of thunder. Further rainfalls about 15 mm in west, 10-15 mm east, with afternoon highs 13-15 C. As low pressure moves across Ireland on Wednesday night, stronger winds may be pushed out to sea and somewhat slack winds will prevail for part if not most of the night. THURSDAY ... Showers, becoming quite breezy again as low moves northeast away from Ulster, winds SW veering WNW 40-70 km/hr. Lows near 7 C and highs near 14 C south, 12 C north. FRIDAY ... Variable cloud, evening or overnight rain developing, lows near 5 C and highs near 14 C. Rainfall amounts possibly only 5-10 mm. SATURDAY ... Morning showers (rain east coast) then clearing, rather chilly with highs only 11-13 C. Northwesterly breezes developing. SUNDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers, cool. Isolated frost, lows near 1 C and highs near 12 C. FURTHER OUTLOOK ... We are now seeing some signs of a warm, dry spell developing late next week, and this could persist for about a week or possibly longer towards the end of the month. There would be dense fog at night with this spell, but daytime temperatures could be 18-20 C if the current guidance proves accurate. Will update other forecasts tomorrow, can mention that the moon will reach full phase on Wed 8th, and an eclipse will be visible in the Pacific regions, but the timing is about mid-day for Ireland so Ill have to take a look for you, if I have clear skies (it will be about 0400h Wed here). The weather here has turned very warm again, this might turn out to be the warmest year on record in this region the way things have been going -- 23 C and sunny on Monday! -- Peter for IWO
