Winds and Gales on the way.
Dublin looks like it is going to feel some of the brunt of Thursdays storm with wind speeds of 105kph mentioned online. This would make it quite unsafe to be out and about in the capital especially as the risk of falling trees and slates would be moderate. Also Dublin Airport may have to cancel some of its flights due to the high winds and public amenities around the capital may have to close for a few hours.
It looks like the weather for Dublin will then become a lot cooler and drier for the weekend after Thursdays lively activity but the long range forecast is still for some more wind and rain in the coming 10 days so a wet November over all of Ireland is to be expected.

Irish Weather by Caroline Clemmons
My husband and I are of Scot-Irish descent and love all things Irish. We were so excited the first time we visited Ireland. On the first rainy day, some tour members groused about the weather. Our wonderful tour guide (Willie Guilfoyle of Brendan Tours) laughed and said, “What do your mean, rain?” He held out a hand to catch the mist. “Why, ‘tis a fine soft day, it is.”
We had a lot of “fine, soft days” on our trip but my husband and I ignored the rain. I did buy a sweater at a shop near Blarney Castle to ward off the chill. Oh, okay, I loved the sweater and that was as good an excuse as any other to buy it. My favorite places in Dublin were Trinity College and Jury’s for dinner and a show.
By the time we were well into the visit, no one complained of the rain. After all, how else would Ireland remain such a beautiful green? Or have those incredible creeks and rivers?
Since that trip, whenever it rains at our place, my husband and I say, “Ah, what a fine soft day.” Well, unless the rain is pouring in buckets, as it does on occasion. On subsequent visits, we’ve included raincoats with hoods and telescoping umbrellas. After all, we’re determined not to let the weather deter us from enjoying beautiful Ireland.

Weather in Dublin, Ireland – Patterns in Weather
Dublin’s 5 day forecast is as follows:
November:
4: Celsius: High=16 ° Low=12 °
High= 60 °F Low=53 °F heavy rain
5: Celsius: High=11 ° Low=8 °
High= 52 °F Low=46 °F intervals of sun

Now you know 1 source for weather predictions, is that enough? If you have a job where weather is paramount, you really need to know as accurately as possible what to expect on any given day. The best way to do this is to watch for weather patterns. If you know your region well, you will come to learn what each weather pattern means. For example, will tropical storm Tomas affect you and where you are? If you know how your geographical area typically is impacted by tropical storms, you can figure this into your own personal forecast. Knowing the range of predictions and how they tend to play out in your section of the country is the most effective way to truly forecast the weather.

Weather for Dublin
Dublin has had a very cold May so far and this looks set to continue forthe first half of the month with temperatures below what you would expect for the start of May. Later on in the second half of May we should start to see somewhat of an improvement in temperatures and some above normal temperatures should occur. Whether this is the sign of a prolonged period of warm weather in the capital is difficult to assess at the present time, however the weather forecast will continually be updated here. In the meantime for the first half of May expect temperatures somewhere in the range 11 to 14 or 15c for the first half of May.
