Autumn 2025 - General Discussion

Another filthy morning in Cork, thankfully looks like we'll get some respite from the incessant gloom and damp over the weekend.

As someone mentioned above very grey in Dublin City Center today. It is so so dark but at least it is dry

Dublin certainly in the rain firing line today!

It's amazing that alot of people haven't put their heating on yet , if mine on the last few weeks well superser for an hour or so a night just to take the chill out of the air , I did notice in Dublin that it was mild both day and night where as here back in carrick it's gonna be cool at night the next few days with 5ºc to 9ºc , I'm feeling really cold today but that's probably because I was waiting for an hour at Dublin Airport in the rain with no hood, should have had a hot shower but that can wait till tomorrow, hope I don't get sick :/ , sorry this is like my diary now haha

I just light the stove/do something to heat the house whenever it's not warm in the house. The time of the year, the season or the month is irrelevant. I don't understand the weird obsession with some people with regards to heating their homes by a method other than the natural ingress of warmth from outside.

yes I’m north facing , kitchen to the front so that’s south facing that gets warm in the sun , BER is like a C or D I’d say here , it massively does make a difference somestage next door we get insulation and new doors and windows which is good , having no chimney is awful 😞 all storage heaters , at least I’ve the superser got that to be storm ready but gas is instant heat , sorry I know I’m off topic mods but the weather does make a difference to house conditions, currently 5c rather chilly but we'll survive, we’ve had it so lucky more less since end of May

A fairly substantial house has stood at the location of my current Longford home since 1688. It was rebuilt in some way in the 1800s as the house is Georgian in appearance. The basement ceilings are over 10 foot tall, hence why I feel that the house was rebuilt or refaced, rather than knocked as basement ceilings are usually about 8 foot high, if not less. The foundations are absolutely massive, both in width and depth, and the external facing walls are just over 30" thick. The result of this is a home that is very very slow to warm up naturally during warm weather but it's also rather slow to cool down when there is a sudden change to cold weather, the immense thermal mass is the walls being the prime reason.

To try remain somewhat on topic, it's sunny at the house in Longford, with fog lifted since about an hour ago.

Its actuallt sunny today but the sun isnt rising very high. Mad for NOVEMEBER. We are running along the Liffey Valley in Castleknock

You must have been late out of bed 🙂 it was lovely earlier

The build up to some cold weather. Easterlies , north easterlies, snow along the east coast.

Although later in the run, there is some snow potential, that chart shows cool and wet weather.

Winters coming. The train is leaving the station... The roller coaster has begun...
