An omega block of high pressure setting up. Called omega block because it looks like the omega symbol with high in middle and low either side.

High pressure in control but a lot of cloud around with some sunny spells. Looking fairly settled with just some drizzle between now and 17th of month.

No Met Éireann have a climate section that manage stations.

Yep but only Shannon replacement so far

Carlow Weather @carlowweather.bsky.social · 1d

Met Éireann getting €42 million for capital expenditure with total of €82 million in budget 2026, an increase of 31%. Does this mean we will finally get rain monitoring stations in river catchment areas upland and public flood warnings??

A nice sunrise ahead tomorrow for some areas and very little rain for next 10 days so good time to get some outdoor work done.

A mild and cloudy morning for most with drizzle and rain moving southeast down the country. A little clearance to the East allowed some light through at sunrise here in Tullow.

Rain moving into Northwest tonight and a damp to wet start Tuesday morning for many as rain slowly moves Southeast. Brighter weather following with sunshine for the afternoon in Northwest. Nice settled dry spell taking over then for possibly 10 days or more!

Good example of Lenticular clouds forming over the Wicklow Mountains today

A glorious Monday morning over Tullow and a pretty good week ahead. Some showers today and bad of rain crossing country tomorrow but less than 5mm for most areas and then very little rain for following 7 days as high pressure takes hold. Nice boring weather 😁

ESB power outages down to 2,200 premises. Fair play to ESB after a very busy weekend. A tough 3rd night ahead for those still out though.

Lovely Sunday morning for most and some nice settled weather to come but a few showers today and Tuesday will be dull damp day but after that it is high pressure in control.

Carlow Weather @carlowweather.bsky.social · 4d

A much calmer night out there and nice sunrise ahead for Sunday morning.

Carlow Weather @carlowweather.bsky.social · 4d

The good news is high pressure is coming, apart from some rain crossing country Tuesday there will be very little rain for next week and should hold for next weekend too🙌

Fair play to @ESBNetworks crews down below 50k and they expect majority to have power restored by Sunday night but some smaller faults could go into early next week. Interesting Roscommon is one of the worst areas but it was only added to Orange warning late in the day.

Still very windy but wind slowly easing off over the coming hours. Heavy rain moving South but breaking up. Scattered heavy showers also though with some thunderstorms in Kerry and West Cork at 10:30am. ESB crews working hard and down to 60,000 premises without power.

Well county by county doesn’t work for big counties like Cork

I’ve been saying for years that we need to move to an impact based warning system like the UK Met Office use. The winds we saw yesterday have a much bigger impact this time of year and also when peak of storm is during work day. The Met Éireann system is based on specific thresholds being met.

Wind still gusting to over 100kmh on West coast with heavy rain in Northern areas and also some thunderstorms. Strong winds perishing this morning but rain will break up and sunny spells developing. Still over 80,000 premises without power this morning.

Carlow Weather @carlowweather.bsky.social · 5d

ESB seem to have defaulted most faults to 5pm Saturday for restoring power. That means some will see power back before it but many may not see power until after that. So you may want to prepare for longer outages and don’t rely on that timeline.
