Was in Croker last night and it was grand! Even some patchy blue sky at sunset. Was thrilled with that!

Meanwhile back at the ranch today, it was a fine morning with some sunshine. Overcast from 10am onwards and very low cloud. Spits of rain around lunchtime for a few minutes, then dry before drizzle got going again after 5pm. Breezes, were light southerly until after lunch, now northeast and slowly increasing.

Wow after a dismal day of drizzle and low cloud we have blue skies and evening sunshine in Meath.

To dip down to 9c for me tonight which will be rather chilly

Wet miserable day North Wicklow.

We were spoiled this summer.

Gonzo

after a mostly miserable day the cloud, mist and drizzle finally cleared and the sun came out around 6pm. Thankfully that should be the last of the rain for a while now.

Dreadful day. Much worse than yesterday. Thankfully the sun will be back very soon.

highdef

Up to 10° difference in temperature across the country at the moment.

Heavy enough rain earlier today from Ballyvourney to Clonakilty, cleared to spells of sunshine and cloud in the afternoon, feeling quite warm and humid, very mild tonight.

This afternoons run of GFS shows very little rain for the rest of September. However note of caution there was a breakdown on September 21st this morning. High Pressure seems to be dominant for rest of month.

Gonzo

Hopefully there will be some drying in the ground by tomorrow. Grass is still very wet from 2 days of constant rain and drizzle up to yesterday evening.

And what followed in winter that arctic blast we got from 26th November 😁

Danno

A light NW breeze and partly cloudy conditions last night meant minimum temperatures stayed in double figures. Mostly cloudy but bright this morning in just a light NWly and temperatures of 12c. Dry.

I'm very disappointed with the weather this week.

It hasn't even stayed fully dry in Dublin, we have had two damp mornings and I haven't seen the sun since Saturday.

Definitely a very disappointing Sept after an amazing summer.

highdef

A pleasant enough mid September day in West Dublin City. Crazy to think that we're already half way through the autumn....... I'm joking!

DOCARCH

Ominous looking skies over Dublin (from Greystones).

Is anyone else freezing tonight or am I coming down with a cold?

Heating on for the 1st time, just needed it for an hour to take chill out of the house.

Timber shed is bursting here from windfell and ash dieback. Might just put on the a small fire in the stove to take the small sting out of the drop in temps.

I think the calculation shows whiskey will be cheaper to keep warm this winter than oil or gas😉😉

What a lovely week of autumn weather. The evenings are great for walking and picking blackberries and hazelnuts. Beautiful morning. Galway.

appledrop

Well the weather must have heard me complaining, finally a beautiful sunny morning although it is chilly.

Danno

Chilly night last night in south Laois with an overnight low of 4.1c and a grass minimum of +0.8c. Yesterday's max was 16.4c.

Currently 12.7c and clear with prolonged sunshine. After the wet week last week, this high pressure is very welcomed indeed.

On this day , September 16th 1961, Ireland was hit by winds gusting to 181 km/h as former hurricane Debbie passed close to the W coast.Debbie retained many hurricane characteristics when it arrived off the SW coast.Damage to property was extensive & 11 deaths were attributed to the storm.

Should be a colder night tonight. I always try to hold off putting the heating on till at least the second half of October or the end if possible. Then keep it off after around the second half of March . So roughly halloween to paddy's day if I can. Outside of that period only the odd time.

Last winter being a mild one I was getting away with putting the heating on for mostly only about 2 hrs a day.
