I might very well have to do it but we'll see anyway

That's a fine looking lawn. Mine is a patchy weedy mess and the bit of grass in it is thin and weak. Even though it's been largely dry here on the east coast it's still fairly damp so the lawn hasn't been able to dry out, it could really do with a mow before the weather changes though or it'll be some state for the winter. Absolutely no drying out whatsoever despite the lack of precipitation.

Also the highest November overnight temperature is 15.5c can't see that being broken but we shall see

Getting a max of 18 on Wednesday and an over night low of 15. A Summers day essentially.

Another damp dark morning. 'Same as it ever was' Talking Heads.

Leitrim.

Do people still believe that myth after 4 years of COVID which shows precisely zero respect for the seasons?

Both times I caught it, one was in spring and the other high summer.

These last few days are reminding me of our summer; 12 or 13 degrees, calm and endless cloud. I'm not complaining this time because it's been very good for early November, and it gets dark at 5 anyway. It's perfect for outdoor jobs and exercise! It's very damp but I can just about deal with that. Having said all that, I would love to see just a little bit of sun 😳

That's wild. I'm south side and i have genuinely not seen the sun in 10 days.

The clouds are meeting the road and everything is constantly wet even though it hasn't actually rained in a week.

There was one good day last week, Wednesday. Clouds parted early enough and was a nice sunny day, and that must be where most of the 5 hours of sunshine came from. One of those days where cloud was still all around but the sun managed to stay in the clearing much of the time. Just checked and yes, 4+ hours of sunshine at the airport that day.

Absolutely horrific ever since. I can't believe all the people loving the dull cloudy damp drizzly misty weather (for those experiencing that is, seems the west is faring better). It's mild alright but nah, it's getting miserable. Another week potentially to come of this too. If not even longer if the resurgence of the high pressure next week also is a cloud fest.

Horrible misty drizzle started again as I type.

Stockholm syndrome on here for some 🤣. Different strokes I guess.

Was drizzly in Cork harbour this morning but a slight wind after a week of calm waters.

I'm turning off the heating tonight.

It's like groundhog day. Same thing day after day. Though last night there was clear skies for a couple of hrs to break the monotony. But of course woke up to yet another cloudy day..........

I can report that there is a small bit of blue sky visible. Much improved here in south Dub now
