I wonder, some day will Artificial Intelligence come up with some sort of way of monitoring these and send some sort of mini-tornado killer to stop them becoming Full Blown Tornados ? !

Wonder no longer - know & acknowledge!

More stuck broken records which coincide with my own fair observations in recent times . . .

2023 is set to be the wettest on record; there is more to come​

December 24, 2023
2023 is likely to be the wettest year since official records began in 1901, with no halt to the showers up to the end of the month.
So far 1100 millimetres of rain have fallen at 13 of the country’s weather stations, and that is one millimetre more than the previous record set in 1998. Over the past few decades, some 853 millimetres have fallen on average.
“A lot of rain has fallen and a lot more is on its way,” a spokesman for weather bureau KNMI said. “It really does look as if the rain record will be broken.”

. . . . “There will be some rain every day." . . .

. . . November was the wettest November since records began, with twice the average rainfall.

So @Myles O'Reilly & @Mad as Fish We've been getting rain everyday so much you've just become used to it over recent years, Such is the frequency that you've forgotten what real Christmas & Winter weather is about.

When was the last time you had some of this!! . . .

Beast from the East exceeded that quite dramatically in places, but why should nature conform to our idea of what a Christmas card should look like?

The Medieval Warm Period was approximately 1 °C warmer than present, and the Little Ice Age 0.6 °C cooler than present, in central Greenland.

These also reveal a persistent Climatic Optimum through the early–mid Holocene with temperatures at least 2 °C warmer than present (in central Greenland), terminating in cooling between 4 and 2 ka BP (Cuffey and Clow, 1997; Dahl-Jensen et al., 1998). All of these Holocene variations appear to have been larger in southern than in central Greenland (Dahl-Jensen et al., 1998).

So no snow, ice or sparkling frost this year but no surprises after rain almost everyday upon a very soggy mushy damp landscape we are now in for . . . More heavy rain - days in a row of it . . .


MET Éireann has issued multiple weather warnings with 'intense rainfall' and strong winds likely to batter much of the country over the coming days.

As Storm Gerrit approaches, the national forecaster has updated the warnings, which were issued for six counties on Christmas Day, to cover the entire country.

The worst of the weather is set to impact Cork and Kerry with a status orange wind warning set to come into effect at 8pm this St Stephen's Day.

Just another Atlantic storm, any sun that follows these gales tends to give a fantastic light for photography, especially on the west coast. Bring it on!

Just as a matter of curiosity I looked up that once great subject of snow laden Xmas cards, Good King Wenceslas, and it turns out that he lived in modern day Czech Republic where the winters tend to be colder due to its continental climate. He was also around during the 13th century, in the build up to the Mini Ice Age which might account for the snowfall which tends to be light in that part of the world. Although, if paupers, Kings (he was actually a duke) and pages were out and about it probably wasn't that deep, for said pauper would be struggling to find the wood under the snow cover.

Edit.

Just looked some more and it wasn't the snow that was the problem, but the cold. Wenceslas, who was later canonized, heated the ground with his footfall, enabling his minion you continue through the cold wind. The deep snow is probably a much later addition to romanticize Xmas cards.

Yes indeed, I had a fantastic windy day with specks of blue sky and sun in between the dim clouds, t'was a rare scene before the rain & drizzle chased us back off the beach, again

Who'd want to go out walking when it's raining every day anyway? And surely no many would care to hike through the mud and knee high puddles but still, a warning to those who live dangerously . . .


People are being asked to avoid soft and boggy grounds when hillwalking this winter, following six months that saw more rain than average.


Mountaineering Ireland is calling for people to be mindful as it says the downpours have left their mark on many upland areas.


Helen Lawless, Access and Conservation Officer with the organisation, said: "We've had a lot of rain over the last while, so the hills are really wet, especially the peatland areas ... and when the hills are wet they are more vulnerable to the impact of our footfall."

Wicklow is one of the most popular areas for walkers, and most of its hills are covered with blanket bog.

Hugh McAlinden is a District Conservation Officer for the region with the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

He said that many people would be surprised by how much impact even a modest amount of foot traffic can have on a bog.

"It doesn’t take much to cause enough damage, that would actually damage the plants and prevent them regrowing.

"As little as, I think, six people travelling across the bog in one year, the same line, as little as that.

Overgrazing, fires, and climate change have also had an impact on Wicklow's mountains
"It’s hard to imagine, it sounds ridiculous when I say it, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

1. There's been a recent increase in rain (not carbon related, imho)
2. The Carbon cycle - Food for Plants. To the extent that some Botanists actually use bottled CO2 as an additional nutrient to encourage their lovely's to thrive better.

Yeah but we'd need a mini submarine to survive the summer in Australia now it's summertime down under.

. . . Ten people were killed in Australia after severe thunderstorms battered the country's east over the Christmas holidays, authorities said on Wednesday, with tens of thousands of properties still without power.

Wild weather lashed the states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland on December 25th and December 26th bringing large hailstones and torrential rains. Strong winds blew off roofs and brought down trees in some of the worst-affected areas. More than 90,000 households are still without power. . .

. . .The storms followed intense heatwaves that resulted in several bushfires and after Cyclone Jasper caused widespread damage.
"When you start to piece together the experiences of this summer so far it is clear that we are living through an era of escalating climate consequences," said Simon Bradshaw, research director at the independent nonprofit Climate Council.

*In the middle of summer, throwing shrimp on the barbie's and sweating our nuts off we were rubbing oil onto our chaffed sunburned flesh, parched with thirst we reached into the beer cooler to find Sheila had packed alcohol free foam, Car had a flat so we set off walking into town, along the way Bruce pointed up into the sky and said 'Hey look at those huge dark clouds drifting towards us, maybe Santa's sending us some snow for Christmas?' he chuckled. . .*

Shannon Callows​

Farmers lost “hundreds and hundreds” of acres this summer, trying their best to salvage grass, and have struggled for fodder this winter.

Some farmers had to sell their animals due to the land damage.

According to Broderick, floods have returned to the Callows in the past number of days, with severe heavy rainfall during Storm Gerrit.

“We would describe this year’s flooding as the worst we’ve seen in our lives. The worst and the longest,” Broderick said.

Farmers left without funding after Shannon Callows flooding - Agriland.ie

Many farmers along the Shannon Callows claim that they have not received funding for damaged land due to excessive flooding

Currently pishin down today and the provisional forecast shows rain everyday till Saturday then it's set to freeze by the look of things, what's for sure is that there won't be any draining/drying out.
It's worth mentioning because today at present the land is soaked with the lake and river at the highest levels seen in a long time - close to record levels. Interesting times ahead
