First frost of the season here in Meath, great to finally see some frost.

Maybe the first named storm of the season for Friday? This is before 12z rolls out so could be gone by then..

Lovely day here in Virginia. A day off after working the weekend. Was lovely to get out around Lough Ramor with the dogs, not a ripple to be seen on parts of the lack. Cool and dry just how I like it.

Perfect late autumn day. Bright and fresh. So much better then that mild often dull dross we have had to endure so often lately.

Beautiful crisp clear day in Kerry. Started out white with frost this morning , -1.8C at 08.00 and took a couple of go's to get the ice off the cars. Got up to 8.1C and currently a cool 3.7C with frost near under clear skies again this evening. Barometer nice and high at 1033.7 hPa Steady.

Pic: Banna Beach at 12.00 today.

Shades of last winter and winters before.

Not a cloud in the sky this evening before sunset. Straight up chimney smoke and the smell of a coming frost... and then the usual cloud bank (the usual Sc) rolled in or developed out of nowhere that will prevent the beauty of the moonlight reaching my eyes and keep temps above freezing yet again. It's so predictable now that it is comical at this stage

I guess you live in the northern half of the country.

I know what you mean . When looking forward to a nice clear frosty night and then poxy cloud rolls in. I've lost count of the number of times that has happened in recent years .

Same thing here tonight in my part of meath. Clear and starry until a while ago but now cloud has rolled in...

Its bad enough trying to get a bit of snow these days but now even getting a decent frost can be hard to get.

1.1c here in meath after a cloudy drizzly start, sky cleared in the early afternoon to leave it sunny and clear

Gonzo

Only 1 frost to report this Autumn from the other night in this very tame cool spell. Night time values look like holding around 2 to 4C over the next few nights with some cloud around so unsure if we will get another frost till sometime in December. From Monday we will be back into a generally mild pattern with temperatures into the low teens so we are back chasing another cold spell, hopefully the next one will be a bit more successful than this one.

-0.6 in meath, nice frost already

Wind hitting 91kph in Newport

At 03.15am the wind was howling and the cottage shaking. It woke us up and lasted about 15 mins.

This morning the neighbour had to chainsaw his way out of his drive. A large tree had come down.

We were not expecting the wind until tonight. Although it's fairly windy this morning.

pauldry

It's so far maxed out at 101kph in Malin earlier this morning. Got to 94kph in Finner at 8 and its 100kph in Malin again now. A stronger pulse of wind hits the NW between 6 and midnight so over 100kph then in a few places

I know for the East coast this isn't really set to kick off until later, but so far Met Eireann's forecast has overplayed the wind for the East this morning. They had forecast average winds of 40kmph+ until midday but really no more than a breath of wind here, 15km from the coast in South Wicklow. Will be interesting to see how it plays out this evening.

Maybe where I'm located we're sheltered from the wind from that direction then. Even looking out my window here and there's hardly any movement on even the tallest trees.

Malin now 113kph

All calm so far in Dublin 24. Barely a breath of wind all morning.
