Weather in Dublin

As we move into Friday, October 11th, we're waking up to a chilly start here in Dublin with temperatures dropping to around 5 degrees, but feeling more like a brisk 3 to 4 degrees when accounting for that slight wind chill. Overnight, it's been mostly clear, which brings lower temperatures as the clear skies allow the heat to escape. The humidity is quite high early on, hovering around the mid-80s percentage wise, which might make the cool feel a bit more pronounced. No need to worry about rain though, as the chance of precipitation is nearly zero.

As we progress through the morning, we can expect the temperature to climb gradually. By late morning around 10 AM, it should be a more comfortable 7 degrees, and by midday, we're looking at temperatures reaching up to nearly 10 degrees, with a glorious, clear sky and abundant sunshine in place. This is great news for anyone planning to enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s a stroll in the park or a cycling trip.

The rest of the day maintains these clear skies, with temperatures peaking in the early afternoon at around 11 degrees, a perfect time to be outside. Winds remain moderate, coming from the west, with gusts up to 27 kilometers per hour, so do take that into account if you're planning on being near open spaces.

As the afternoon drifts into evening, cloud cover will start to increase slightly but still remains mostly clear, transitioning into partially cloudy conditions as the sun sets and temperatures drop. By 7 PM, expect temperatures to dip back down to around 8 degrees. It's advisable for motorcyclists to dress warmly, especially towards evening, to counter the chill of the wind while riding.

For those of us with gardens, it's a good day to get out and possibly prepare for the cooler months ahead, given the lack of rainfall forecasted. Pet owners will find it an excellent opportunity for walks, as the consistent dry weather ensures the trails and parks remain pleasant and welcoming.

The UV index reaches a moderate level of about 5 during midday, so anyone sensitive to sun exposure should consider some protection during the peak hours. For young mothers and the elderly, the cool morning might suggest an extra layer when stepping out, but the day unfolds nicely with warmer afternoon conditions. As for drivers and those concerned about commuting, visibility is clear at a maximum distance throughout the day, providing safe travel conditions.

All in all, Friday brings a crisp, sunny autumn day without the worry of rain, ideal for enjoying the outdoors or any planned activities. Make sure to dress appropriately for the morning chill, but get ready to embrace a beautiful day!
