Autumn Weather 2016 - General Discussion

Calibos · 20-09-2016 8:24pm

I work year round within 6ft of a permanently open door. Yesterday was the first day since April I wore my hoody over my normal T-shirt for my entire shift. Last night was the first night in months that not only did I not have my bedside fan switched on, I actually pulled my Duvet tightly round my neck. I've actually missed a cool room when getting into bed. Harder to fall asleep for me in a muggy warm room whereas snuggling under a duvet in a cool room sends me right off to sleep in a minute or two.

Forecast is for it to warm up again next week? 20ºc, so we in the lee of the Wicklow mountains can look forward to 22ºc thanks to the Fohn effect.

6c at Dublin airport currently, compared to 13c at Shannon!

The forecast min was 9c tonight, so that's strange.

Edit:

Just noticed, at 10pm it was 10c at Casement and 6c at Dublin airport!

Well, the calm couple of days coming to an end with an unsettled spell coming. Quick moving band of rain crossing the country tomorrow followed by showery weather on Thursday, the weekend is looking very wet especially Fri night into Sat and Sun and Mon . Windy at times too. Looking at the accumulations it would seem to me that the W, SW and SE getting the most rain.The prediction models are showing a possible 2 inches+ of rain in places between Fri night and next Tues along the W and SW coasts ( possibly more on mountains ) and the SE possibly getting a lot of rain next Mon .Lot of talk recently of the tillage farmers having a bad time this year at harvest along the coastal counties, if it's not in before this weekend it will probably have to stay in the fields I would think unfortunately .

Lucky the ploughing championships will miss it.

EDIT: not as much rain showing up now in the SE next Monday, W and SW still on track to get big accumulations over the weekend.

JCX BXC · 21-09-2016 8:13am

Looks like the first storm may be on its way for Monday.

Gonzo · 21-09-2016 11:49am

not looking good for the Harvest Festival in Dunshaughlin this weekend. For the past several year's we had great weather for it.

Meteorite58 · 21-09-2016 12:49pm

I see MT's discussion regarding the potential for stormy conditions Mon / Tues from the remnants of Karl. A quick look at the models just now would show a big difference in predictions. The GEM is full on and from what I've seen of late is that it seems to handle the Hurricanes / post tropical storm tracks well. The GFS is keeping it away from these shores.In general the models seem to me to be struggling a bit with trying to input the potential power from these systems and what must be a huge potential to influence the general weather patterns when they move into our latitudes.

JCX BXC · 21-09-2016 3:57pm

First ground frost of the season possible tonight for some localised places.

ArKl0w · 21-09-2016 7:38pm

Meanwhile the heavens have opened here since 4pm

It doesn't appear fast moving,it's been at it 3 hours now

Heating on in the house for the first time last night! Had been out and when I came home you could smell the heat before you could feel it! Met Eireann forecast is decidedly autumnal sounding....bring it on!

Heat when on in my house last night for the first time in months. It's certainly getting colder... is there any chance of a cold dry winter this year?

jumpers on past 3/4 days, the days are already a good 4 or 5C cooler than they were up to a week ago and the nights are much cooler. Hard to believe just 2 week's ago it was 23C here at 10pm (Monday 5th September).

8.2c here in West Clare, with similar conditions.

11pm reports gives the coldest temperature 5c in Markee Sligo, Moorepark Cork and Mt.Dillon Roscommon. 3 very different locations.

Gonzo · 22-09-2016 12:23am

Markee Sligo now down to 4c, could well be a frost there soon.

pauldry · 22-09-2016 12:43am

Yeah Markree is headn towards 0c

6.4c in Sligo town which normally around 2.5c warmer than markree

of course met eireann say 3 to 7c coz sligo doesnt exist

although they had said 2c previous but changed like me in a boards forecast to be wronger

mountainy man · 22-09-2016 2:26am

Its 5.7C here in the s.e. corner of the county, beautifully calm and crisp.

force eleven · 22-09-2016 6:18am

First ice on the car this season. Can't report temps because my weather station temp sensor on the blink. Must be around 2 I guess.

LEIN · 22-09-2016 6:23am

6.3C here and still dropping.

lapua20grain · 22-09-2016 9:44am

Any word on when MT will be rolling out his winter forecast

highdef · 22-09-2016 10:35am

Min of 4.0° on the button last night

strewelpeter · 22-09-2016 11:20am

Can I ask if anyone knows where I might find a forecast reaching into next week for Paris of the kind of standard we are used to from M.T. Cranium?

I have a decision to make that is dependant on the amount of rain that falls in that area during next week and being used to having a reliable forecast from MTC Meteo France is looking very vague.
Up until today their pictures were showing no rain at all and now they are showing some but I've no idea how much or little.

I do wonder, without fail, how Clare is continuously left out of these? It's in the middle of Galway, Cork and Kerry!

Atrocious evening in west Mayo,torrents of rain smashing of the window and winds akin to a yellow warning.

got much milder as today went on, almost warm by the end of the day.

sunbeam · 24-09-2016 12:30am

It has been raining non stop here since about 10am yesterday.

redsteveireland · 24-09-2016 12:56am

So I gave in, and turned on heating and lit the fire. Winter's here...
Rain feels imminent here in Galway, has done since about 5 so it will probably be an anticlimax in the morning.

Calibos · 24-09-2016 1:39am

18.1ºc at 1:30am in Bray. No heating turned on here.

km79 · 24-09-2016 9:14am

Was not as wet as feared thankfully
Did any place get the forecasted 20-40mm I wonder
Maybe the north West?
