Monday 1 December 2025

A complex pressure system with multiple centres, including one northwest of Malin Head, brought a moderate southwest to west airflow across Ireland during the day. An active weather front was situated over the country. Early in the morning, the South and East were cloudy and rainy, while the West and North remained drier. As the morning rain cleared, it was replaced by showers, and later in the afternoon longer spells of rain moved in from the Atlantic. By evening, drier and clearer conditions spread across the southwest, continuing into the night.

Wednesday 3 December 2025

Ireland lay in a moderate to strong westerly airflow generated by a broad and complex depression in the North Atlantic. Another small depression northwest of Erris Head remained relatively stationary during the day whilst weakening. Associated frontal troughs were embedded in the flow. Scattered showers moved eastwards across the country during the night. Mist and fog patches developed in the early morning. Widespread showers followed from the west, spreading east during the morning. A band of rain approached the southwest coast in the afternoon and spread eastwards during the evening. Breezy along Atlantic coasts during the day.

Thursday 4 December 2025

Ireland was under a south to southwest airflow generated by a broad depression centred south of Iceland. The associated occlusion lay across eastern sea areas. It was dry and bright for many areas, with sunny spells and only isolated showers, though cloud and rain lingered in the northeast for a time. Later in the afternoon and evening, cloud increased from the west and scattered showers spread eastwards, merging to longer spells of rain and turning heavy. Coming into nightfall, showers eased for most leaving a dry night with clear spells.
