Autumn 2020 - General Discussion

SleetAndSnow · 01-09-2020 12:32am #1

Never had the chance to make the season thread before so said I would this time!

New month, new season, new thread new weather adventures? Will we have a stormy Autumn or a calm autumn? Excited to find out!

Time to start the discussion, currently about 12 degrees in Cork City and partly cloudy!

bazlers · 01-09-2020 6:31am

Where are we as regards ice melt for the season ?Was it another loss? I would imagine from now on it should start to increase.

Sorry sleetandsnow not exactly Autumn discussion but not sure where to ask.

littlema · 01-09-2020 8:01am

I see my son heads the Winter Storms names list..
hope he’s not up for a while yet.

daniel_t1409 · 01-09-2020 9:28am

Hopefully this autumn will be dry. I could really do with a break from all the rain we got over the summer

Thelonious Monk · 01-09-2020 9:49am

Calm and dry in Dublin, looks like it'll get to 20c later. That'll do pig.

Xenji · 01-09-2020 9:55am

That was a long 92 days on you, wasn't it?

Back at the ranch, it was a misty morning before some sunshine and then overcast with some drizzle before sunset. Really notice the days starting to shorten now.

Looking forward to some settled weather with high pressure expected to build over the weekend.

seamusk84 · 01-09-2020 9:39pm

I thought we were looking at a nice dry weekend from Thursday in the East.
Met Éireann going on now about blustery showers and cold conditions....Bloody hell!

appledrop · 01-09-2020 9:45pm

Welcome Autumn 2020!

With the amount of rain we had in summer 2020 some dry, sunny weather even if chilly would be very much appreciated.

Don't let us down like Summer 2020 did!

I've a feeling it will be a fairly standard Autumn with maybe one or two dry spells and average rainfall, hopefully nothing like last year's endless deluges.

If its like last year we are snookered. The ground is saturated. The amount of rain we had in summer was unreal. Surely we are due a dry spell? Although silly me this is Ireland so I should never presume such a thing.

after tomorrows rain things won't be too bad in terms of rainfall, mostly showers and some areas could stay dry completely. There is a fair bit of ridging in FI, the possibility of high pressure next week and then another ridge possible the week after. However just about every ridge or high pressure has gone pear shaped since June so we shall see.

Rain during the night woke me up. Absolutely pouring down this morning.

Ah yea we are definitely due a dry spell says me.

Pour out of heavens here in NCD. Ffs!

Spells of heavy rain here in Castlebar with surface flooding

Clonmel1000 · 02-09-2020 8:56am

Isn’t the weather “always good” when the kids go back to school?

DellyBelly · 02-09-2020 9:15am

That's some rain falling in Dublin City centre....no wind but the rain is incessant

beggars_bush · 02-09-2020 9:38am

serious floods on the roads this morning.

Xenji · 02-09-2020 9:41am

Close to 35 mm of rain in Castlebar since midnight.

Agree - watching the water build up quickly as it flows off the grass onto my ground floor balcony. Looking at the radar it should die down in a few hours.

horrible horrible miserable blughy, crappo ughhhh weather in Meath this morning! rain rain go away, come back on anoth....no just fcuk off until 2021 please, on less you present yourself as snow, that would be ok....

daniel_t1409 · 02-09-2020 10:18am

Wet + windy here now. Usually the start of September is dry and sunny

. Like others have said, we will be in serious trouble if it doesn't dry up soon, flooding could be quite bad this winter as the ground hasn't been properly dry since early June, whenever the ground did dry up in the summer, it got wet again soon after.

As we know nothing is normal this year including the 'good' back to school weather.

Absolutely torrential rain all morning in Dublin. Surface flooding on all the roads. Its depressing after dullest summer on record in Dublin.

2020 doesn't do whats normal or usual. Don't usually like New Years Eve but I'm looking forward to it this year already!!

"The world" has vanished from sight out here. Just.... solid walls of water and a howling high wind. But so far it is all soaking in as we have had little rain of late.

There is a small area by the gate where rainwater tends to pool but all is fine there now and this place is raised on concrete blocks.

Looking at my old home area of Clifden and Recess.

Stay dry!

Harry Palmr · 02-09-2020 11:32am

It's a soft day in Waterford, dull and damp in the air but not much.

JustAThought · 02-09-2020 11:41am

Lashing rain all through the night here - awoke to sulking cat hysterically miaowing in the porch and demanding to be let in. (I do not own a cat). Cat & I now seated in/on furry bathrobes at opposite ends of the couch. My biggest problem with today is whether an expiry date of 10/08/2020 is October 8th or August 10th. If no further posts please ring coroner to come in his boat & do the necessary.

Huge tides and waves breaking the dunes apart last week and blistering sun yesterday - mother nature sure is having a schiczophrenic phase.

nthclare · 02-09-2020 11:51am

I wonder will we have a mostly dry autumn and a crisp winter, all that rain that fell and the river's and lakes at full capacity in North Clare, even the turloughs are appearing again.

The river Fergus in Corofin burst it's banks a few times, although the village is up higher but the lake on the way in had flooded all the fields.

The falls in Ennistymon were a sight to behold recently, there was a constant rainbow over the falls when the sun came out and all around there was a mist.

2020 is a strange year, all we need now is a big freeze at the end of the year to put the icing on the cake.

Oneiric 3 · 02-09-2020 12:25pm

Strangest rainband I have seen in a good while. All morning the rain has been mostly light, but every now and again, and with a curious regularity, a heavier burst will come along and last for no more than 5 to 10 seconds at a time. This has been happening since about 7am this morning.

SleetAndSnow · 02-09-2020 12:27pm

Dry when I woke up this morning in Cork City (but the ground etc was wet). Overcast and about 18 degrees. Feels humid enough too

Just this, Galway City. Very strange.

It is the same out here; rhythmic rain singing its ancient song. Although the bursts here last longer.

Donegal Storm · 02-09-2020 1:08pm

Torrential shower in Letterkenny just now after a mostly dry morning. Could hear some very heavy rain overnight, woke me up at one point

Gonzo · 02-09-2020 1:29pm

like most of the country it rained alot last night and it was very loud rain indeed and it kept me awake for much of the night.

The good news is that once we get past today it should be much dryer over the next week with high pressure next week looking like a decent possibility, however there still may be some showery activity across western and northern areas close to the coast.

daniel_t1409 · 02-09-2020 2:52pm

The rainfall figures on twitter show that June, July and August were all above average, and March, April and May were below average.

Graces7 · 02-09-2020 2:53pm

Still as intense as ever here in West Mayo and the sky darker. With the high winds into the mix.

OldRio · 02-09-2020 3:04pm

Rain all day. From light to heavy and everything inbetween. Utterly dreadful. Floods on the roads.

After a wet morning, it's sunny/tropical in Dublin 16. 24.4c atm!

Fog/drizzle in Wexford now, can barely see the end of the field!
