October in Ireland opened with an almost summer-like warmth and stillness, a brief reprieve that now gives way to the season's true character. This weekend, Met Éireann forecasts a decisive turn: heavy rain sweeping in from the west, thundery bursts, and the real possibility of spot flooding — particularly across the south and southwest. It is the kind of weather shift that reminds a country long acquainted with Atlantic storms that autumn's gentler moods are always borrowed time.
