What colour is the wind?
I've added pictures of the various weather types; fog, snow, sunshine and rain (flood) - but I don't appear to have any picture of the wind! Anyone got a good storm shot; trees bending or waves crashing? Sarah777 (talk) 17:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * A picture of thunder  would be handy too; there is a section on that. Sarah777 (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The "Climate of Northern Ireland" article has been merged with this article. This brings the it in line with the Geography of Ireland page, focusing on the island as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whereabouts987 (talk • contribs) 08:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It is fine to have a Climate of Ireland article but it is not OK to override the Climate of Northern Ireland page. As Northern Ireland is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, why should it not have its own climate page? The averages for Scotland are different to the averages of the other Home Nations and the Republic of Ireland has different data for Northern Ireland. The climate may be similar on each side of the border but climate information is more useful and interesting when categorised on a country by country basis.

thunder
Thunder is not a form  of precipitation. Precipitation is a form of moisture falling from the sky, thunder is a shockwave caused by the collasping air after a lightning bolt. --83.70.211.181 (talk) 17:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Comparative area
An earlier edit stated the island shares a climate classification with most of northwest Europe. Given that NW Europe includes the likes of Scandinavia I wonder if this is correct. WP:BRD for the moment. LemonMonday   Talk   21:52, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it is - Seee this Fmph (talk) 21:55, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Fmph, you've got this wrong - it's Bold (you), Revert (me), Discuss (everyone). You've applied Bold (you), Revert (me), Edit war (you). Maybe you could self revert and then discuss the matter here and we can achieve a consensus. I do note that the classification system you've chosen is just one of several, and northwest Europe is ambiguous to say the least. So, at the very least we are looking at a bit of a rework here - but - discuss first, eh? LemonMonday    Talk   22:06, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What makes you think this is contentious? Fmph (talk) 22:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Tornado frequency and other Thunderstorm related info
Since Ireland  is not that  big of a country  the tornado frequency should be considered common and so an average of 10 per year is quiet high even though its not as often as North America's Tornado Alley. According to the wikipedia page of the Climatology tornadoes  happen  quite often in Ireland. Tornadoes are   most common in the winter and summer months where also the most  severe  tornadoes happen in both Winter   and Summer according to TORRO.

The article doesn't also mention the  average  amount of floods and flash floods which impact Ireland.--109.78.60.63 (talk) 14:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

EAR request
This article has been the subject of an editor  enquiry at Editor assistance/Requests. The help desk  response response  was: 'Have you discussed this on any of the relevant article talk pages?' Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

PLEASE RESTORE THE NORTHERN IRELAND ARTICLE
The contents of the Climate of Northern Ireland page have been replaced with a redirect to this page without consensus and against the wishes of editors who have clearly stated objections their objections. The page has been repeatedly targetted by several users, who may be sock puppets of the same user, who wish to force their will on the matter. If I revert from the redirect, I will be blocked for edit warring. Please revert and restore the contents of the Climate of Northern Ireland page and also Climate of northern ireland (lower case) to redirect there. Seamus48 (talk) 11:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Average climate figures
Can you please provide average figures for Ireland, similar to those provided for other countries e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_the_United_Kingdom — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.115.158 (talk) 16:46, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Hail
The statistics referenced at seem suspicious. It seems unlikely that hail would occur so often, and so much more often than thunder. Perhaps the Met Office mixed up the two lines? -- Beland (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Split/merge proposal on Geography of Ireland page
There is a section on Climate in the Geography of Ireland page. The section here is a larger more complete version of the section there. However the two pages contained almost identical paragraphs and were missing citations on each. Now the opening paragraph is the same (which can be undone). The page on Climate of Ireland is much longer than in Geography of Ireland and I believe does need to be a whole page. However I wonder if the section there therefore should be significantly shorter as a result or should I put it back to where it was when I started?  &#127866;  Antiqueight  chat 13:29, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I would have thought it should be a summary of the Climate page with main template at the beginning pointing here. CalzGuy (talk) 16:18, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The climate tables should definitely be over here CalzGuy (talk) 16:20, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. I'll wait a while for any other comments and I'll try a solution then.  &#127866;  Antiqueight  chat 16:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
