AUTUMN WEATHER 2015 - GENERAL CHAT THREAD

Gonzo

looks like traditional first week back at school in September won't be a warm and sunny one like most other years. Next week is gonna be very cool, even cold. Will probably light the first fires of the autumn next week.

Looks to be cold but with an Azores High it looks sunny.

Perfect Autumn weather Looking forward to the dewy mornings

Must say I would love a few storms....but only over the weekend or in the evenings when I'm not in work

Harry Palmr

Just had a peak at the medium term GSF and as per usual its a potentially glorious start to the season with the kind of set up we're been screaming for all summer!.

Tindie

I hope he has Right about the
Upcoming autumn

If this mornings ECM is to be believed there's a welcome Indian summer on the way for next week with some very impressive temps - in fact more than a few place could see their highest temps of the year if it came off!!

LOL - thats not how the Irish climate works!!;)

It looks like our temperature will be below average for the next few days until the weekend. Present models suggest that it will be much warmer next week with high temperatures in the low 20s with mainly fine weather.

Schadenfreudia

What a chart! If only this was January....

Autumn certainly descended with a bang - right on the 1st September.

Dunno how you did that Gonzo...but an excellent bit of reorganisation!

First fire of Autumn is being lit here right now - log supply won't last to Halloween if this keeps up; breezy and overcast with a bracing 9.5C

According to met.ie:

Early days of next week: Present indications suggest that it will continue mostly dry, with light to moderate east to southeasterly breezes. There will be some spells of sunshine at times each day, but some cloudy periods too. Daytime temperatures should be in the range of 15 to 17 C.

No mention of low twenties temps - in fact, it sounds quite cool. Is it meant to get warmer later in the week??

Does anyone have any confidence in this actually happening?

No , doesn't look like it will get into the 20's according to the Temp at 850hp on 06z ensembles. Roughly speaking , adding 8c to the 850 temps will roughly give you the surface air temp.


High teens throughout the high pressure period. Theres a strong uncertainty past the 9th as to whether the high remains near us or low pressure moves back in...

Autumn in with bang? I would call it more a gradual easing into since the start of June.

Not here

Widespread fog at nighttime from Monday according to Met Eireann.

Yay I love fog

Tindie

The midland top temp today is only 13 degrees ,

Is this one of the coolest September?

Much lower them last , I thing it was high teens last year.

leahyl

Really cold the last few days!! Can't believe how much it has changed but it's still dry so that's a good thing - crisp Autumn mornings

Thargor

Fecking freezing this morning in Bray! Supposed to be climbing Croagh Patrick on Saturday.

Be careful up there two climbers were airlifted to Castlebar hospital on Monday by Coastguard helicopter Rescue 118 from Croagh Patrick. Must be slippy after all the rain we had in the West.

Clonmel1000

Wasnt there meant to be some decent weather this week? Its like mid october here. Breezy cool and showery. Its going to be a long winter.

WheatenBriar

More like winter in Arklow
Peak now of 13.9c and cloudy
2 small rain showers off the sea this morning brought a gusty howling wind with them, very wintry and down to under 9c at that time

Schadenfreudia

No rain here but breezy and a chilly 13.3C....this is heading to be the coldest day since 1st June.

Summer is well and truly gone

Harry Palmr

I'm sat here under the duvet!

No sun and northerly breeze is pretty grim. Thankfully we'll have no wind and more sun by early next week

ComfortKid

Am I the only one that is looking to the frosty mornings again..

When do we usually get first frost?

I am also

I already got winter stuff ready lol

Gloves and wooly hats are in my work bag right now

Third day in a row...this is a mid-winter fantasy chart!

Polar low developing over northern Scotland?

WheatenBriar

18c and the suns out
Can't complain

snubbleste

It's supposed to be dry in the west all this week :cool:
I'm shocked, shocked I tell ye, at that forecast.

It's been relatively dry the last 2 weeks apart from the odd shower.

Yesterday was the only sunny day though, back to overcast today.

maquiladora

Nice autumn day today. Sun is out, bone dry, around 16. Feels a little warmer in direct sunlight.

Harry Palmr

Glorious weather now (Waterford). September always delivers.

Clonmel1000

Cloudy here cool.

Hooter23

Cloudy and pretty cool in Galway and to think last week looking at the charts we thought we were going to get a week or two of sun...

Beautiful day here today. Drove down to East Cork around Roche's point, inch beach and on to Ballycotton. Clear blue skies nice and warm.

OldRio

Another cloudy day but I'm not complaining. Say it quietly, shhhhh it hasn't rained for nearly a week. Shhhhh.

Oneiric 3

Coolest daytime max of the season here so far. Just 13.1c with a current reading of 12.9c.

Schadenfreudia

After a gloomy start it turned in to a lovely sunny afternoon here (16C); if the sky stays clear and it stays calm we could have an interesting low tonight.

But I bet the cloud returns and the low is around 10C.

JCX BXC

Persistent cloud here in west clare, there was a brief sunny spell for 5 minutes in a random break in the clouds (like a blanket with 1 single hole in it) which brought the temp up to 18.7. Rapidly fell since then and it now at 14.3, maybe this evening it'll clear?

Oneiric 3

Cloud cover over the last 3 hours. Really stagnant over Ireland as it pivots under an upper and lower ridge. Think we might have a better chance of some general sunny breaks in the west as winds back more easterly over the next couple of days. But I'd not hold my breath either.

Jpmarn

Storm alert.
Just putting out an alert for a possible 2 wind storm events for next week. GFS models viewable on netweather.tv has drawn up a possible for next Tuesday the 15th and another one for Friday 19th. It looks like the weather will slowly deteriorate from this Thursday onwards. Wednesday 16th look generally fair with temperatures mid teens at best.

JCX BXC

Im very excited at the prospect of a storm! I cant wait for the first winter storm of the year! :D:D

Xenji

I found a strange quirk of this summer to be the near constant night time temperatures, have had the windows open at night for the last 3 or so months, even now it is still the same, it actually has felt warmer at night than most days.

Say that to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina 10 years on pal. I lost a pet turtle to a storm in 1994 here in Ireland as well. It's not all fun for everyone. Mother nature can be unforgiving and I hope you are never on the receiving end of its destructive propensity.

Tonight/this morning is rather cold in many rural areas where skies have cleared. Temp leaving home in a rural area under clear skies was 5.7c, car was displaying 6c and mist was thickening to fog. By the time I arrived in Dublin about a half hour later, the car was displaying 14c, it was cloudy and it felt quite mild when I stepped out of the car.

pad199207

Yeah chilly morning here in Kildare. Low 3.4c

Lumi

It's a real peach of a day in Galway city - blue skies, sunshine & currently 18.8C
