Autumn 2024 - General Discussion

25c possible tomorrow.
Warm and humid with spells of sunshine occurring widely. However, by evening time, thundery rain may affect southern counties, especially coastal areas. Highs of 21 to 25 degrees in moderate northeasterly winds.

fair enough, apple weather now telling me it’ll be 21 degrees and sunny tomorrow. Tell you, these irregular weather cycles are really messing with my senses.

Cheers Monk,

Yes, we must be of a similar Vintage.

Veronica's, Bobby & Busby's…….I could share stories but they wouldn't be appropriate for this site

cool and grey today. Like the summer minus about 3 degrees.

25 degrees, yet grey and wet, hardly much point is there. The only advantage is that it will be warm.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion

Strange type of day, occasional sunny breaks but mostly cloudy and feeling cold in that northerly wind. I have the fire light now. It would appear other counties are faring much better!

it’s hard to believe at this stage that tomorrow is going to be the day forecasted. Not saying it won’t but today is so dull breezy and on the cool side.

Been an awful start to the month in Dublin considering the talk last week about warm settled weather. It briefly threatened to brighten up around lunch time today but overall a dark, cool and very windy day

A very mild, but grey and blustery morning, however, things should pick up by mid-morning. A promising 48 hours head that should feel more than acceptable.

As crap as this Summer has been,(yes, we're in Autumn) when we have had some settled days, they have seem to have been at the weekends in my experience

There's been only 7 hours of sunshine so far this month at Dublin Airport, 5.7 hours of which came on Wednesday as you mention, with every other day having less than an hour each if any sun at all. This is very unsustainable but to give context to how bad this is, if the month continued with this rate of sunshine, then it would finish quite a bit duller than a typical December! Casement is even worse at 6.5 hours and very wet with nearly half the month's worth of rain already.

Reality:

A little bit of a Wicklow Mountain shadow breaking up the cloud into Kilkenny/Carlow area.

With the humidity and the wind direction, low cloud has been expected here in the east though not sure why the Met failed to mention this. If we look at the same satellite imagery past few hours, we can see it attempting to dissipate as the front meanders to our south and bring the wind more directly north offshore which should in theory bring clearer weather.

It's bright here in Donaghmede and a fair bit calmer than yesterday's hurricane winds (ok gross exaggeration) but still rather breezy and a hazy look to the sky.

20°c in Knock airport at midday. Wonder what the highest we get today will be?
