Week 1 (Monday October 13 to Sunday October 19)<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is a strong signal for high pressure to be centred to the northwest of Ireland during the period, suggesting more settled weather. Mean air temperatures are expected to be average for this time of year, and slightly higher in the north and west of the country. Precipitation amounts are also likely to be below average as a result of the high-pressure signal.<\/p>\n
Week 2 (Monday October 20 to Sunday October 26)<\/strong><\/p>\nUncertainty in the forecast increases for week 2 but current signals suggest a return to lower pressure. Mean air temperatures are expected to be average for this time of year, with precipitation amounts expected to be above average for most of the country, with more average amounts signalled over west and northwest fringes.<\/p>\n
Week 3 (Monday October 27 to Sunday November 2)<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile confidence is lower for week 3, the signal for low pressure persists. Mean air temperatures are expected to remain average for this time of year. Precipitation amounts are expected to continue above average across the country.<\/p>\n
Week 4 (Monday November 3 to Sunday November 9)<\/strong><\/p>\nVery low confidence in the forecast for week 4. A slight signal remains for low pressure with mean air temperatures expected to remain average for this time of year. Precipitation amounts are likely to continue higher than average.<\/p>\n
The extended range forecast comes with the usual warning: “The extended range forecast, which includes the monthly and seasonal forecasts, can at times provide an insight into weather patterns in the months ahead.<\/p>\n
“However, they should not be used for specific planning purposes as they have generally low skill compared with the 10-day forecast. This is because forecasts beyond one week become increasingly uncertain due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere,” says Met Eireann.<\/p>\n
