Hi be cause and everyone. No sir you don't put me off from commenting and I enjoy reading forecasts here like. Newbie reporting in  .

Aha, another Belfaster. There are a cluster of us around Castlereagh if you're in that area.

Too much information!

Ive noticed a fair few shooting stars out tonight ,went out for a quick smoke and must have seen 5 or 6 in that time,noticed a few earlier aswell.

After early rain this morning would have passed as the start of a good May day ! Late afternoon a squally shower brought a chill to the air and it is a whole lot cooler in my mobile home than the last few . Feels like winter has popped back . Now to see what the Atlantic conveyor is bringing us ... 

  Enjoy your weather whatever it is !

Off out myself for a look up ...

[smithyweather]

Maybe snow on monday.

Dun to 4c. Bleugh it should be that in the day this time of the year.

[sundog]

Thats one hell of a storm showing up on tonights gfs for next thursday,6 days away of course but with the Atlantic getting fired up the possibility of a big storm cant be ruled out in the not too distant future imo.

I seen a few aswell! One of them was very large and bright it had a long trail and turned bluey just before it disappeared!

[smithyweather]

Monday looking chilly with Tuesday and Thursday. As time has went on so far the models have cooled.

[Rocheydub]

Some serious storms showing up on the NWP now for next Wednesday/Thursday. One to watch. Potentially disruptive if it comes off and tracks near us...

It was the Geminid meteor shower thats what it was last night,had a feeling it must have been some kind of meteor shower due to the amount i was seeing.

Certainly at the 5000ft level, the ECM ens are suggesting below average values for Ireland and most of UK. around Christmas.

Boxing Day Temp anomaly

 

as we progress towards January, the colder than average conditions persist, tho no significant cold is shown as yet.

Rather wild outside atm, some strong gusts,wet ,temp 10.2c.

[The Eagle]

Indicates what most expect - that polar maritime west/north westerlies are here to stay for a good while yet. Not all bad as it can bring snow at times. Not spectacular but it's something.

[BornFromTheVoid]

The wind sounds great here today. Makes a welcome change from the boring weather of the last few weeks.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hope ye are enjoying yer wind folks, personally speaking it can bog off, the joys of leaving at a height I suppose

[bobbarley]

I have to agree with pom calm days up here are few and far between, possibly we should swap places!!

[smithyweather]

Now that we have not had snow for ages it is kinda hard to imagine what snow is like.

Weird. 2010 seems a long long long time ago now. Sigh

Thursday is looking good for snow but as we all know by now, it will be a sleety wash out

Actually I think we should get a timemachine and fast forward to summer because this is just bullsuper duper. So boring, I admire the optimism of the model output posters but its getting long drawn now. 15c on thursday, I mean COME ON!! Nonsense!

I think this may well be one of the rare winters where we see no lying snow.

[Neiller22]

iv already seen lying snow in november!

[Juuyoku]

Me too. Some sites are forecasting snow in this area for Thursday - shall just have to wait and see .

[gary1365]

if it snows on the north coast after i go home on tuesday and doesn't snow in bangor i'll be very angry lol

[The Eagle]

I think a lot of us have a very decent chance of some snow temporarily to low levels at the end of next week.
