It was the fifth wettest November on record. It wasn't imaginary. The temperature was slightly above the LTA. The national mean air temperature of 8.61°C (using the Island of Ireland dataset) placed October 2025 21st warmest in 126 years. 8.61 °C is 1.54 °C above 1961-1990 LTA and 0.65 °C above the most recent 1991-2020 LTA. The national average rainfall of 189 mm ranked 5th wettest in 85 years and 136% of its 1991-2020 LTA. It was a very mild first half, a cooler second half. Storm Claudia was followed by an arctic blast that caused a swing in conditions.
Alex dug another trench across the field above the donkey shed yesterday. The Golf Course has cancelled all play as it's too soggy. I haven't ventured into the vineyard in the past week. I'll check on it tomorrow.
