Sept can be very summery with temps similar to July up to the equinox the same way March can be wintry with temps similar to January up to the spring equinox, but of course you won’t get sunburnt in Sept and snow won’t lie in March.

Was in Berlin at the weekend, Saturday and Sunday very hot at 32-33°c, suddenly Monday it's raining and 16°c. Felt like the summer just ended!

Good to see some more warmth coming before the cold starts to kick in.

Beautiful morning

Weather hasn't been as bad as forecast the last few days

just swim anyway! Swim all year round and don't get too hung up on temperatures. The buzz you get is brilliant (been swimming year round for 3 years). But I was dithering at the place I swim (Kerry) yesterday as I could feel it was much colder and I am still just in togs . Then I just went for it, the trick is just to walk straight in and get straight down. This is the best time of the year to decide to keep swimming in Winter as your body is used to the water. Very hard to decide in the middle of Winter that you'll take up sea swimming !

Just do it, we will be dead long enough , its amazing :-) !

I'm back in Ireland since last night, it was rough saying goodbye to blue skies and 28C. I'm certainly feeling the chill since i've arrived back but at least it's dry and sunny, could be alot worse.

Welcome back, there's a good chance of blue skies next week to gradually sooth you back into autumn. Any property prices from Spain?

For some reason I always associate September with big waves but I am not sure if there is any science to that. In my head it was always a great time to swim in Blackrock (Salthill) and catch mackerel. It may well be nonsense because it has been quite calm anytime I have swam recently.

This week has been nice and sunny with the odd shower and distinct Autumn cooling. Very dry overall with Mace Head only showing 3.8mm and high pressure on the way. For contrast Sept 2023 had 155mm of rain.

Enjoy the swims mykrodot. You are much braver than me. I finish in October even with the wetsuit.

Tonight

Tonight will be dry, cold and mostly clear with light winds. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees with a few mist patches forming and possibly a touch of grass frost.

Might somewhere scrape the first air frost of the season?

.Donegal.

UK met office added a new feature. It shows the hot/cold temperatures possible in rare cases.
Mullingar predicted low tonight is 2c, with -1 possible in rare cases.

Castlederg low expected 1c, possible -1c.

Sounds interesting. I'd a look in the Met Office app and also the www.metoffice.gov.uk website but not seeing that feature. Could you point us Boardsies to the location of this new feature?

Nice idea, keeps it interesting!

On the website, search a specific location forecast. Then It’s directly below the 7 day outlook and above the hourly forecast for that location. Has beta beside it.

2 Bedroom apartments with balcony and communal pool near seafront generally 250 to 270,000 euros and single bedroom apartments with balcony + pool for about 170,000 euros.

Travel inland and prices get cheaper but I wouldn't really like to live inland without having the coast and sea breeze there.

They're a lot cheaper than that on the Costa Blanca around Alicante. Not in the immediate vicinity of the city itself but in the coastal towns just north and south, well connected to the airport.You'd get a nice two bed appartment with communal pool for around €150.000. Blue flag beaches all around, facilities every bit as good as on Costa del Sol, imo.

Robwindstorm

Pricey enough , but I suppose if you were a retired couple with no ties and general good health it's worth it , especially if you could afford to have it for winter season and still tip back home in summer if you wanted.

Gonzo

I'm shaking with the cold so the heat has been put on.

Dazler97

It's gonna be frosty here tonight lows 0c for here in carrick, no heating being put on just 3 layers will do me

Will be coming back from 28 degrees in Greece to near freezing at home on Saturday. The €100k 2 bed villa 8 minutes drive from our beach resort looks very attractive right about now 😁

Think we need a "everything foreign" thread.

Are you coming back to the Antarctic or somewhere?

Because in Ireland it's forecast over 20 degrees next week.

I was just basing it on Dazlers post above saying Carrick was to be near zero. Wasn't aware it was warming up again I've not been keeping an eye on the Irish weather

I hope I've made your day now.

Beautiful afternoon and evening in Dublin North .

Walked for miles with just a fleecy on and everywhere I looked was glowing in the warm autumn sun

Nippy in the shade though and now contemplating turning on the heating tonight.

Edited to embed picture ! Wayhey 😁

appledrop

It's nippy tonight alright, heating on for an hour to make house comfortable.

However I thought today was very pleasant, once there is sun it's a good day.

Even in the depths of winter I'd always take a freezing cold crisp sunny day with high of only 3 or 4 degrees rather than a dull, dreary rainy day with high of 10 or 11 degrees.

Delighted we are getting one last blast of heat next week.

Of course you're going to find it cold. The weather in Ireland at the moment is very cold for the time of year and a far cry from what you'll be experiencing in sunny Greece. It's meant to warm up next week but looks like a chilly weekend first. Enjoy Greece.😀

Ye welcomed high pressure next week could be several days , temperatures around 18c to 21c by day and lows around 9c to 12c , just that northerly wind at the moment is being felt, very bipolar weather currently

beggars_bush

Not putting on the heat till October. I've padlocked the timer and herself can put on a jumper

Gonzo

It does look like it will warm up next week but after just back in from Spain last night and today was Baltic to say the least even tho sun was shining and it was dry. Just turned off the central heating after a 4 hour workout and the house is liveable in again.
