Autumn 2018 - General discussion

Gonzo

today was a really nice day here at Dunshaughlin, especially the afternoon and towards sunset. It felt warm, barely any clouds in the sky and sun was nice, the first decent drying we've had in about 2 weeks. It could be next April or May before we feel another day as warm and sunny as today was.

Yep same here, not a single ray of sunshine today. Still very mild though.

Have not seen much sun the last few days, same again today but for me it a very mild morning you can sit outside this morning quite comfortably

Very disappointing day breezy overcast and a persistent drizzle. Getting dark already.

It has turned into a very nice clear sunny afternoon/evening in north Dublin after an overcast morning. It's now 11.1C.

Real nice day in Dublin 13 with plentiful blue skies and a great evening to top it off. Moon pic taken with my new camera.

Clonmel1000

Beautiful brilliant bright clear sunny day.

Gonzo

today was a perfect sunny Autumn day, can certainly feel the chill compared to the past week.

Beautiful day here in Dublin 5. This November has easily been the most boring month of the year so far though. I can name something interesting for every month so far except November.

Artane2002

Here's some pictures I took during the 9th November rainfall. Thanks to Sryan for indirectly reminding me of this!



This is Eden Quay



Same spot on Eden Quay but focusing more on the puddle.



A very impressive puddle in Fairview (took this while on a bus). Seen one equally impressive near Busaras but the quality isn't great due to condensation on the bus windows, maybe I'll upload the best one another time.

You should have seen Ballsbridge. Outside the Israeli embassy look like there was a moat. Pity I didn't take pictures.

The Monday there was also flooding but after it drained the council did nothing. Friday was even worse and still did nothing but a day before the Northern Ireland match they were out in force.

Captain Snow

With this cold week and the sea still warm. Possible big hail showers on the east coast Tuesday / Wednesday. A few big thunder storms too IMO.

Interesting weather coming up.

Gonzo

If only this was a month later and a few degrees colder, we would have lots of snow here in Meath.

'Rain Trains' piling here all night and into this morning from the Irish sea. Very wet morning here. Heavy showers right now effecting Dundalk to north Wicklow and these showers are pushing westwards and dying out over the midlands.

Another narrow train of showers over parts of Wexford pushing into Waterford.

edit: the showers falling as snow over parts of Wicklow Mountains

HighLine

The GFS charts don't show much rain due today at all for the east coast (particularly Wicklow). Is it more that it will be convective precipitation brewing up over the Irish sea?

Yip. Relatively cold air over relatively warm sea.

Are you sure about the charts?

A dry bright morning here in Castlebar with mostly clear skies and just a light easterly

Artane2002

Rain and hail showers all day so far in Dublin.

Rock Lesnar

Dublin airport reporting a recent Thunderstorm also. Totally different down west, calm with long clear spells.(other thread now back open)

I guess this is what you northwesterners put up with in winter whenever we have a northwesterly... very frequent showers and windchill while us in the east have mostly sunny weather. Other way around today.

Gonzo

really horrible day today in Meath, cold rain with bits of hail mixed in for most of the day, temperatures struggling and generally very wet.

The milder theme looks like it's starting to get pushed back into December again, so possibly another week of fairly cool conditions. with mid to high single digit temperatures.
