Good news that we might get some nice weather on Monday. Today is horrible in Tralee. Blustery and quite wild this morning, bucketing down now.:(

Looks very wet Tues night into Weds, windy yes, squally ? The area of LP seems to introduce an upper trough / vortex with cold mid and upper airs so that could encourage convection and convective gusts in the showers I guess.

MJohnston

Reckon we might get our first Irish named storm of the season from that?

Beautiful beautiful day here, a few degrees warmer would be nice but beautiful regardless.

I missed out on the fine conditions today. It was cloudy for me just like yesterday.

Beautiful day in north meath, sun came out around 2 o'clock and it was warm and sunny for the rest of the day, sky is clear at the minute

8.7C and calm here near Tralee


I see on the Met Eireann site reports of mist and fog at some stations, Met Eireann saying going to get dense fog in places by dawn .Will make the morning commute tricky for some tomorrow, worth getting up a bit earlier I would think to avoid the delays.

JCX BXC

Shallow fog being reported already at DUB and SNN, setting in earlier than forecast.

A nice fog is always beautiful to see.

JCX BXC

Look out the window, it's not foggy, 5 minutes later, you can hardly see your hand, another 5 and it's back to not foggy.

Amazing weather.

Was very foggy around Maynooth and Leixlip, cleared away now to leave a beautiful cloudless morning

Rock Lesnar

No fog, no cloud, and no rain, just the sun

savage morning

yesterday was an amazing day, easily the best day I've seen in Ireland since July. This second half of September has certainly changed things around after the brutal cold between the 10th and 16th of September.

Today solid blue skies already and feeling warm.
