yellowlabrador

need to put he lights on, but I won't. Bright day and no sun, no wonder they used to freak out when They didn't understand. It's quite dull and dark now, yet the sun is 'shining'.

Basq

Slight break in cloud cover there in Sligo town...

.. nice glimpse for maybe 2 - 3 20 second intervals.

Just outside New Ross,

Dark cloUd has ascended, looks like rain now after a beautiful morning


Just looked again,

Idiot,

Is the eclipse, ha

Aircraft reporting the eclipse to Shannon control, its cool. very dark now in castlebar.

I always suspected that it was a complete myth that the temperature drops during an eclipse and thats the case at moment (cloud or no cloud) - temp steady and not dropping.

They bloody are here. They think it's just a regular drizzly day.

Not a lot happening but does have the feel of dusk about it

eviltimeban

Just saw it! Actually saw it! There was a break in the clouds, lighter clouds went over and there it was!

A little cloudy in Cork but enables watching with the naked eye, briefly.

Can see it in Dublin when clouds move!

Very dull in slane now. Birds quietening down an the air pressure is dropping according to my little weather station. Could that happen or is the air pressure just dropping anyway?

Itssoeasy

Gotten very dull in cork with the last ten fifteen minutes and not cold but not as warm as you'd expect. We have canaries in an aviary and they are chirping but not as much as they would do when the sun is out.

North co Dublin. Got a good long look at it, was able to look as it was partially behind light clouds. Got photos and video too. Will post now.

Awesome!

fryup

jay93

Can't see it in East Meath cloud cover too thick ..

TheMilkyPirate

Getting a great view in the reflection of my car window, Looks pretty cool. Is it at max now?

reap-a-rat

Plenty of breaks in the clouds in north Galway to get glimpses at each stage, very dark due mostly to the thick black clouds here! Birds were going mental a few minutes ago, are still chirping away now. clouds obscuring again but Sun looking like a crescent moon now.

eviltimeban

Not great but you can see it in the centre.

Candycakes

Break in the clouds in Dublin 5. Pretty cool. Neighbours had the proper glasses

YFlyer

Came out of the bathroom to my bedroom a few minutes ago, and the bedroom was dark. Now it's getting noticeable brighter.

coleria

Clear patch in the sky over Galway City for the last 40 mins, got to see the whole thing through welding glass, It got darker but not dramatically, It did get quieter.

Blingy

Definitely starting to get brighter in dublin City.

eviltimeban

Full sun out now, but it's like someone has turned it down with a dimmer switch. So weird. Very eerie light.

harry Bailey esq

just another rainy day here in finglas we had much better luck in '99.It didn't get dark as such,but everything looked a bit weird.

Rikand

There was a lad with a welding mask out in the car park and through the breaks in the cloud we got a few good looks at it. Pretty amazing! Took some photos through the welding mask, they look cool, but you cant really see anything

lets call a spade a spade......that was crap, should have stayed in bed:mad:
