Risk of storm developing Monday night into Tuesday but huge uncertainty on the weather models and the latest ECMWF model update that Met Éireann use for their website and app at that range is one of the worst potential outcomes so hopefully won’t be that but one to keep an eye on

Over 70mm of rain on high ground on Cork/Kerry border between today and Friday evening. Followed by high seas and high spring tides could cause issues for areas like Bantry with coastal flooding risk.

Some big seas expected over next few days, first into the West on Thursday and then Southwest on Friday night into Saturday. Bad timing too as we have high tides this week so risk of coastal flooding. Don’t park in car parks that are known to flood on the coast, like Salthill!

First day of winter today and it’s a mild start with no sign of any real significant cold or snow for at least next 10 days. This day 2010 was very different with deep snow in Tullow as my photos show.

Rainfall totals forecast for the next 7 days shows a big variation across weather models. The GFS weather model has very high totals for parts of South and East but thankfully other models have far less. An unsettled week of weather to come.
