Bye bye autumn 2022, you won't be missed. One of my least favourites.

Have to agree sryanbruen, windy and very wet is what I'll remember it for.

Perfect autumn for me. Mild, windy and wet is exactly what I would expect and hope for, and this one delivered that with the added bonus of thunderstorms. I really don't know what else you guys want from autumn tbh.

I agree totally. Could hardly believe the previous posts. It has been true autumn without the brutality of extremes.. especially out here. Some seasonal dramas,,, else peace and time to walk and gaze at the changes.... Perfect! Especially welcome out here...

It was a horrible autumn here in Cork. The rain was incessant from the minute the drought ended on September 3. I haven't looked at the stats yet but I can't remember a wetter one in my lifetime. Not much sunshine either. A stark contrast to autumn 2021 which was very dry.

This will be an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed Autumn 2022. It was nice to get a wet September (wettest since 1976 and 6th wettest on record) as well as a cooler one for a change. October continued with the wet theme but unlike September, it had good sunshine. It also gave a nice (for Dublin) thunderstorm on the 19th, an unusual time of year. It was also the second month in a row to breach 100mm, which is rare for Dublin. To me, November has felt sunnier than the statistics (which are good anyway) would suggest. Much of the rain that fell was by night so it could have been a lot worse. Although it was dry for November here, the rain that did fall by daytime became tedious since it's been going on for nearly three months at this stage, so I welcome a drier period with open arms.

Good autumn colours, the only reason why I look forward to this season which I rarely do as I prefer the other 3 greatly. Any leaves that didn't get blown by wind (which there was a fair bit of) were still green. Worst season I have seen for them by a mile.

Very wet, little colour, excessive mild without nice chilly nights. Rubbish.

For me what this autumn missed was a storm. For how unsettled it was in terms of rainfall we didn’t get one named storm, that’s unusual. If it was a mostly blocked autumn you would still half expect some sort of wind event somewhere during the unsettled spells. It’s autumn so I don’t mind the rain, the excessive mildness was a bit irritating at times. A couple more frosty nights would have been nice.

That makes sense. It was brutal. I'll have to look at how the year will come in overall, but given it was so dry earlier in the year it may well just come out average.

appledrop · 01-12-2022 08:21PM

Don't know how some of you thought it was good.

Felt like it never stopped raining in Dublin!

I actually don't mind a storm or two and then gone, but it was just windy all the time, headwrecking.

DOCARCH · 01-12-2022 09:33PM

Autumn was autumnal. That's all I can say! The rain did not bother me.

appledrop · 01-12-2022 10:18PM

Autumn for me is crisp dry days with the crunch of leaves beneath your foot.

Not a hope of that this year, any leaves on the ground were saturated!

Is their a winter chat

That's how I like my autumns too but I suppose each to their own. Some people tend to hibernate the minute the clocks go back and don't mind rain at all over the autumn and winter months. I tend to be outside a lot all year round so too much rain at any time bothers me.
