Autumn 2025 - General Discussion

An extra hour of gloom in mid winter that no one will even notice is a high price to pay for losing an hour of daylight on summer evenings in my opinion.

Extraordinary the way the leaves fell around here. I think the lack of sun was a big factor. I'd say the wind/rain this weekend will finish them off. They usually don't fall until around Halloween so a couple of weeks ahead

Completely agree with you. Each to his own as we keep saying but I can see zero cause for complaint in this recent autumn weather. I've been doing a lot of driving recently around rural Kerry and it's been simply delightful. The calmness, the autumn colours but [thanks to lovely weather] summer flowers still blooming on patios and in gardens. Literally a sight for sore eyes. And who cares that the sky isn't all blue,it's mid October!! And compare that gorgeous calmness to the Atlantic shyt fest due to hit our shores later this evening, putting us all right back in our place,a tiny little island buffeted around by the north Atlantic ocean. Seriously how can anyone be complaining!! It's been wonderful.

ComCompletely agree with you 💯 👏 👌

Even more rowing back on rainfall. Models all over the place, an orange now seems over-the-top

I have the stove going since the start of October but more for the atmosphere than the heat! Just got the fallen leaves cleared here in advance of the rain. It's so much easier to clear them away when they're dry, once they get wet it's three times the work, and I have a lot to deal with every year!

miserable here near Trim and down for the night, no grass or leaves done today so that’ll be struggle now!

An absolutely manky day all day in Tralee.Pure muck! A huge and horrible contrast to the delights of only yesterday.😔

Warming up overnight 15ºc in places before it gets bright , I know at least there will be some sun 🌞 for me today 😀 anticyclonic gloom was long enough, turning abit windier by midweek and then briefly colder

Navan had little rain it was nice it broke up

Huge amount of rain fell over waterford and south kilkenny overnight. I suspect we will wake up to some localised flooding. Definitely orange warning here imo. It was torrential for hours.

Thankfully the forecast very heavy rain missed the south but still over 40mm in places. Clearing here in Castlebar from the west.
