Just a couple of hours to take the edge off the chill

Frost on the cars here in cork city this morning. Thin but it’s there.

Lucreto

Had a bit of frost this morning, just the front windscreen and the roof of the car.

Earliest frost I have recorded in my area.

Rock Lesnar

Lovely day out there, blue sky and sun is shining, might even get the grass cut later on

SleetAndSnow

Day has turned out to be great in cork city. Warmed up from the cold this morning and blue skies with a little cloud

SleetAndSnow

Getting cold now again in Cork City. A real chill in the air tonight.

Didnt light the woodstove last night as I was out and the home heating kicked in for the first time since last spring and back on again this moring.

Donegal Storm

^^Heating has been almost on every day for the past month here!

Nice enough morning today but turned into a miserable dark drizzly day in Letterkenny, lights on all afternoon

Gonzo

We've had the fire lit each evening since the current unsettled spell started on Saturday 21st of September.

Heroditas

We turned the heating system back onto the winter schedule and the radiators were kicking in each day. Until today anyway... very mild so the house is a bit warmer.
Weirdly mild out today compared to yesterday.

Rotten morning in Dublin

Rock Lesnar

Horrible morning here, lots of rain, close to 30mm again, thats near 160mm in 2 weeks, will be a while before the grass is cut again,

RTE news special on now for Lorenzo, reporters in places over in the west, where there doesnt look to be much happening, i wonder will we have this sort of reporting from now on when yellow warnings are announced, i hope not

Supercell

14th straight day with measurable rain, I think that may be a record here.

I am not sure I will even be able to cut the grass till next year. Our garden has been a swampy mess now for nearly two weeks with no drying whatsoever in that time. My driveway has basically been waterlogged for the past week, really bad again this morning. I reckon 2012 was the last time I've seen the garden this bad.

another wet and miserable day here at Dunshaughlin, it's been raining close to 24 hours now.

now the September monthly rainfall totals for Dunsany are in..... I was expecting it to beat March 2019 making September the second wettest month of the year. We certainly beat March, we have also beaten August, making September 2019 the wettest month of 2019 so far.

September 2019 - 125mm
August 2019 - 123.9mm
March 2019 - 109.4mm

Over 100mm of rain has fallen here over the past week, making this week propably the wettest week in several years perhaps.

Dunsany's wettest 7-day period in late September was 22nd-28th with 59.2mm making it the wettest only since 6-12 August which had 71.1mm with 31.0mm of this falling on the 9th and 20.1mm on the 10th.

From 21st-30th September (a 10-day period), Dunsany recorded 92.2mm which was the wettest 10-day period since 27 Feb-8 Mar 2018 which recorded 108.0mm although most of this was snow (53.2mm on 2nd March from Storm Emma) so not really comparable. 3-12 Dec 2015 was close with 91.4mm. Not counting the snow in 2018, the 10-day period mentioned in September 2019 was the wettest at Dunsany since 5-14 Nov 2014 which had 97.3mm.

Yeah same here now, water is lying on it now, but hopefully it drys quick enough as it slopes down to the drains, helps that the sun is out now to and its breezy

Mercurial ...restless

Just been outside to investigate noise levels!. Seemed more than the usual rocks on rocks of high tide.

Big breakers rolling in and sounding loud. Disturbed ocean. Unsettled after last night. White water..
