Horrible in south dublin, really windy and spraying rain.

Gonzo · 11-08-2018 11:54am

some light rain here too, rain just starting to show up on the radar over eastern areas. Met Eireann are mentioning 25C possible in eastern areas on Tuesday.

Woke up to the sound of rain on the Velux windows around 8/9am, it’s now a heavy fog and I’m assuming more rain is coming later down in west cork.

Is that a sad face .............I thought ye wanted rain in Cork ?

Gonzo · 11-08-2018 12:11pm

19C here now, feeling warm despite light spits of drizzle.

Cantona's Collars · 11-08-2018 1:18pm

Very muggy despite the wet weather.

SleetAndSnow · 11-08-2018 1:19pm

Very foggy in west cork, can’t see about 50 feet in front of you. Very heavy/humid as well. About 19 degrees.

Edit: Drizzling now too so fog is worse now.

Edit; big drops now.

Gonzo · 11-08-2018 1:43pm

sun trying to make an appearance here. Currently 19C.

hitting 21C in parts of the west.

SleetAndSnow · 11-08-2018 2:00pm

Lashing out of the heavens in west Cork now. Very big heavy drops falling st a fast rate.

Mobhi1 · 11-08-2018 2:31pm

Still dry here and cloudy. The temperature's been falling recently. It was 17.4C a half hour ago, the day's high so far. Now it's back down to 16.9C. RH 84%.

Meteorite58 · 11-08-2018 5:11pm

Had only 0.6mm 30 mins ago, moderate rain now bringing the readings so far up to a massive 1.0mm

mild at 19.0C / high of 21.3C

giveitholly · 11-08-2018 5:33pm

I recorded 0.3mm!

Gonzo · 11-08-2018 7:08pm

21C here now and a few spits of rain, ground still dryish.

JCX BXC · 11-08-2018 7:12pm

Is that it? 2.2mm, expected a very wet day but what we got was a poor attempt at a few downpours.

highdef · 12-08-2018 4:11pm

In North Kildare, very chaotic and angry skies to my immediate south with lots of low level wall clouds and scud.

sryanbruen · 12-08-2018 4:15pm

No errors but my internet is doing its usual crap.

Mostly cloudy in Dublin 13 but some sunny spells this afternoon. Been really boring.

SleetAndSnow · 12-08-2018 4:51pm

beautiful day in west cork. Warm and sunny the entire time. Heard reports of rain in the city and dull.

pad199207 · 12-08-2018 5:50pm

Very heavy rain in Naas.

Ultimate Seduction · 12-08-2018 5:58pm

It's mid August bit even so, quite unusual Especially as the day before and after have been rather mild.

I was in west Cork this morning and the rain soaked us to the bone !

Gonzo · 12-08-2018 6:40pm

warm today with some short spells of warm sunshine but have had some very heavy showers during the afternoon.

littlema · 12-08-2018 7:38pm

Yay..,.., for once we had no rain in s Sligo all day. Went cloudy about 2pm but brightened up to a lovely eve. Got all the clothes dry & now looking forward to some fireworks tonight if it stays clear.

Gavlor · 12-08-2018 7:51pm

Beautiful day in the south east, we’ve really had one hell of a summer. Yesterday was a washout and the kids got a dose of cabin fever.... the usual damp Irish weather is easily forgotten, dunno what we’re going to do for the winter

Rock Lesnar · 12-08-2018 8:09pm

Dry and mostly sunny here today, big shower looks threatening at the minute, feeling warm

Kutebride · 12-08-2018 8:43pm

Teeming rain & unreal color in sky.
Meath.
The drive from the west to Meath earlier was savage warm in the car.

Gonzo · 12-08-2018 8:52pm

horrible evening here, dark, damp and wet.

sryanbruen · 12-08-2018 8:54pm

Meanwhile, I've still got nothing of the sorts, bone dry. Dublin Airport had only 0.1mm yesterday.

I had a "drizzle shower" earlier but dry and cloudy other than that. I had some sunny breaks too.

Gonzo · 12-08-2018 9:31pm

RTE's forecast from next Wednesday looks really dark, wet with plenty of low pressure systems showing band after band of rain sweeping across the country. Spells of heavy rain every day right into next weekend.

There will surely be a lot of very happy posters here so..........that is what YR.NO was showing too but I was hoping it was wrong as it has tended to change a lot recently

Despite the dark sky earlier, its still holding dry in my area of meath.

Wednesday looks very wet, but I am hoping it's not going to be as wet and showery over the following 4 days as RTE's forecast is currently suggesting.

The Atlantic looks like it could be back for the foreseeable future this time around with high pressures staying to the south over the continent.

Artane2002 · 12-08-2018 11:11pm

Wednesday onwards is still far away, there is plenty of time for change. This week was looking grim here in the east but it turned out to be pleasant enough other than the weekend. Let's hope next week turns out better than expected too.

Gonzo · 12-08-2018 11:17pm

Thats mad, im near wilkinstown, about 25km maybe from you and not a drop has fallen here.

littlema · 12-08-2018 11:35pm

For once it’s clear here and despite only seeing about 8 meteorites, I’m mesmerised by the Milky Way...... it’s years since I stopped & had a good look up at it. Took about 20 mins to acclimatise my eyes & then... wow. Thanks to the gods who gave me the chance to see it in S Sligo tonight.

pad199207 · 12-08-2018 11:47pm

Lashing again in Kildare

wing52 · 13-08-2018 12:10am

Looked at the rainfall radar on met eireann the band of rain stalled for about 2 hours. Onthe way over the Wicklow mountains now.

highdef · 13-08-2018 12:24am

North Kildare, rain for a while earlier but nothing of note since the sun went down

giveitholly · 13-08-2018 1:03pm

At the moment whats the weather looking like on Saturday in the munster region?

Gonzo · 13-08-2018 1:07pm

blustery showers and average temperatures (15-18C).

A true feeling of Autumn kicks in across the whole country from Wednesday with the Atlantic running a full service.

km79 · 13-08-2018 2:59pm

Has felt suprisingly cool since lunch time in east Galway
Had to put on a light jacket cutting the lawn
And this looks like the best day for a week or so

it's been cool here since yesterday, certainly cooler than I expected, yesterday only reached 16C here with showers most of the day and rain for much of yesterday evening. Today is a bit milder but still very average temperature of 17C.

As for Saturday, the met office are showing a big area of low pressure moving over Ireland later on Saturday and into Sunday and blustery showers either side of it. August so far has been poor to average, but looks like it really is going to turn very unsettled after tomorrow. There will be no shortage of rain over the coming week.

SleetAndSnow · 13-08-2018 3:47pm

roasting when the sun is out in Cork City. Cloudy and sunny here and its pretty heavy/humid

km79 · 13-08-2018 4:05pm

Well the sun came out and the jacket swiftly came off !!!!

White Clover · 13-08-2018 4:05pm

Is there any signs of high pressure building again? I wouldn't say no to a fine week, it's been a month since the hot weather ended!
