Just as long as we get a week like last December. Cold, dry but barely up above freezing. Had frost a week solid. Place looked stunning without the slushy mess snow brings.
Wet and windy before Christmas, dryer and cold after it. From wind current models etc.
Or “Winter” as we call it. I’m always amazed by the optimism of Irish people, and how we are continuously disappointed that our weather doesn’t deliver the Mediterranean climate we somehow expect to have.
The outlook is bleak.
Talks of storm and floods. Went on that flood map thing the department of whatever released a year or two ago. Everywhere under the sun being disputed. People upset that they’re highlighting that their land will be under water someday. Can’t have the prices going down can we.
I was promised tropical island after climate change. Big lie
Last winter was fairly nice in comparison
Ah yes one of there famous weather experts quoted this on the news today and there website used it as a feature headline.
Bunch of scaremongering gowls.
I think though this has been known and predicted for a long time. If you put more energy into the Atlantic and increase the water temp a bit, Ireland just gets windier, wetter and more chaotic weather.
The one thing I feel I’ve noticed as a big change here is I don’t think we are getting those long, long periods of grey, drizzly depressing weather we used to get.
It seems a lot more energetic – sunshine, showers, more blue skies and fluffy clouds, but with bigger and more intense dumps of rain.

The next two storms will tell a lot.
Pour it all over me
Storms or snow, pick your wintery poison
Isn’t that what climate change models held for Ireland?
We’re going to have to get fierce creative with the storm names. Give em surnames.
