Met Éireann issues weather warning as ‘rain bomb’ expected amid winter hazards

Make sure to have your rain coats and rubber boots on hand

Despite a warmer-than-usual summer, hitting Ireland with temperatures as high as 32.5C, cold spells throughout autumn and early winter cannot be ruled out.

However, temperature conditions are said to be generally milder around October, November and early December. 

But that won’t mean cozy walks through your local park or even running relatively simple errands.

Met Éireann has issued warnings for the month of November with wetter-than-usual weather set to hit the island with full force.

November is set to emerge as the month carrying the highest concentration of heavy rainfall across the Ireland. 

This coming season is said to be wetter than your average autumn and generally an unsettled period for weather conditions.

The “rain bomb” is notably going to hit the south harder than the rest of the island.

These weather warnings are not to be taken lightly either, as many complications can come from heavy rainfall, notably saturated grounds and heightened risks of flooding in the affected regions.

The door to winter-like conditions is still open for the months of late-October through December. 

Although nothing has yet to be confirmed, Met Éireann warns of a possible repeat of a major-freeze or snow bound roads. 

The warnings come despite the season being said to experience temperatures of 0.5 to 1C higher than previous autumns. 

Although nothing is certain yet, Met Éireann urges people to regularly check weather conditions as November is guaranteed to send Ireland through the carwash and we wave good-bye to the summer.
