Met Eireann has forecast colder-than-normal conditions for the coming week. Meanwhile, in January we had less rainfall than the LTA and average temperatures. But the world data indicates that January was the hottest January on record. Last month was 1.75 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and 0.79°C above the 1991-2020 average, despite expectations that the La Nina weather phenomenon might bring cooler temperatures. Copernicus I believe provides the most reliable assessment of the situation. Was the rapid intensification of Storm Éowyn an indicator of climate change. A SciFi movie we watched indicated that hurricanes forming in higher latitudes was a definite indicator of climate breakdown. Oh great! Of course I trust the science in SciFi.

Notes on the Data
Evaporation and PE data are calculated using Penman/Monteith formulae.
The ‘LTA’ (referred to within a table) is average for the climatological long-term-average (LTA) reference period 1981-2010.
Data updated daily at Mid-day.
