A new thread for a new season! 🍂
Gentle/fine start to Autumn in Greystones.
Thanks syran your a star 🌟
Valentia doing a 5th September 1991 on it maybe! Though often when that station rises early in temps a sea breeze kicks in, unlike the inland stations.
Well I'll disagree and if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.
Well in the context of current affairs a warming climate is associated with climategeddon, so I figured my third option covered this option.
Or just simply a warming climate.......
25 degrees at Valentia at midday :)
It's way to early to know whether this will be a record month temp wise.
The mean temp always plunges from mid month onwards as the sun gets weaker and the nights longer.
A warm start to September isn't unusual at all.
If it's to be a record month the warm temps need to last well into the third and fourth week of September and it's too early to tell that.
Also, in September it's a delicate balancing act - clear skies and warm temps during the day can lead to quite chilly temps under clear skies at night. Already some places got down to 7/8º last night. If high pressure sticks around until the third and fourth week of the month, even under warm uppers you could easily see temps get as low as 3º or 4º on some nights, which won't lead to a record breaking month.
Nearly midday and only 14c in Galway City.
Coincidence, natural variance, climategeddon, who knows.
Unusually, Valentia is currently the warmest spot in the country with 23C at 1000 UTC.
Glorious in Cork :) breezy tho! Reminds me of the Canaries.
Is this Saharan dust to SW or smoke from fires
20.0c now in Greystones. Not a cloud to be seen.
We are ahead of 2021 after 3 days and September has only 30. So with some locations averaging nearly 20c imt this week unless we get an Arctic plunge I can't see how we won't beat the 2021 record.
Lovely calm and clear morning in Longford. Was very chilly earlier but becoming less cold now. Should get into the low twenties.
Maybe so, but surely more then just a coincidence as regards to those records.
Average for 20th century 16.52, Average for 21st century 16.61, Average for all 16.58.
Foggy and cold autumnal morning. 8C. Getting fairly peed off by this consistent cloud.
Leitrim.
Doubt we will break the September record thankfully. Can clearly see the affects of climate change on that list. 8 out of the 12 months this century.
19.5C at Merrion Square, Dublin on 6th September 2016 is the record.
Here they are for each month for future reference.
Another beautiful morning in Kildare
Another stunner of a day ahead. Misty sunrise this morning at Portmarnock. Have a good day all.
Ye I was doing the exact same thing checking met eirrean for statistics but couldn't find any maybe syran would know
I don’t know. Met E don’t have those records on the website. I checked for the north and it’s 18.3c in September 1999 and they’ve never had a tropical night recorded there, 19.6c in august 2001 is their warmest night on record.
I hope the west gets warmer than the east just like in June because it was lovely 😍 either that or I'll have to go Dublin for a few days , also I wonder what the warmest September night is on record because some overnight lows this week isn't going below 17c
I hope it does 😊
This year will top it I feel.
Peach of a day concluded by another epic sunset in Dublin.
This spell of weather is going to surpass the June warm spell in eastern areas. Met Eireann are going for 22C tomorrow and Tuesday and then 25C on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 24C next Saturday and Sunday for my location. The June warm spell certainly did not deliver a week of consistent close to mid 20s temperatures like that in Meath. In fact I haven't had a 25C at all this year and now we may get 3 of them this week. Of course all this will depend on cloud cover and how early the sun can burn off the clouds.
Glorious day in Tralee, in my lovely sheltered back garden anyway. No idea of temps but I was able to sunbathe and do everything outdoors in the skimpiest of summer clothes from about 10am until about 5.30pm. A bit cloudy this morning and chilly from 5.30 on but no complaints at all. The afternoon got sunnier all the way and gin blue skies for a finish. Very clear now at 8pm. Loving it!😀
