    15C first thing in the morning is horrible. My house is well insolated. Its great in Winter as the heat doesn't go on until late November but in summer it's hell. 15c leaves the house close to 25C and the windows need to be closed for the alarm to work at night. I need a cold room to sleep in so the last few months I have been getting really bad sleeps.

    I find that with the windows partially open and suitably light bed-clothes 15 is usually fine.

    very unsettled and wet morning here near Malaga, pouring rain here with rumbles of thunder every few minutes.

    Looks like the last two days of my holiday is going to be wet and unsettled.

    Depending on who you’d be talking too here that would be seen as great weather.

    Strange day in the Deise, overcast but very mild with little lighter areas in the cloud cover but they never actually break. If they did it would be very warm indeed.

    Whats going on with the weather forecast lately

    Maybe right for South but for most of the past few weeks whatever they predict here in the West we seem to get the opposite.

    Today was a banker dry day in the Northern half until....today. Its lashing.

    Even last week this week was promised warm then it ends up cold with near frost at night. Dont even check forecasts anymore bar MTs.

    pouring rain all afternoon near Malaga, some intense bursts which would rival the heaviest rain showers I've ever seen in Ireland. Just had an hour of loud thunder with forks.

    I am hoping for dryer conditions on Sunday and Monday.

    To be fair the nights were always expected to be cold.

    Brightened up nicely around 18.00 . Got up to 17.1C and currently 15.7C, plenty of rain since last night with 12.8mm in total, 7mm since midnight.

    The Pond is starting to fill up, should have plenty by midweek.

    We had some flash flooding between 3pm and 6pm and there was severe torrents of water running from the mountains behind Fuengirola through the aqueducts which run off into beach/sea.

    At least 2 inches of rain fell here during the afternoon. The noise of the thunder overhead was incredible, echoing off all the high rise apartment blocks. I've seen more rain here today than I've seen all summer in Ireland.

    I've been told this is the first rain in the Fuengirola region in about 2 months. Looks like more showers tomorrow morning to early afternoon.

    I am hoping for one more hot and sunny day on Monday before I head back to Ireland on Tuesday to face another 9 months of Autumn/Winter like conditions!.

    Seemed to dry up by late evening here in east Galway but it was a whole day of misty grey drizzle muck, just like yesterday. Lit the fire for the first time since April.

    another very wet day here near Malaga. Easily another 1-2 inches of rain has fallen in the past hour. Roads flooded again and water gushing everywhere.

    You really don't have much luck with the weather of late, whether home or abroad. Rain reported (light rain, at that) only once in the past 24 hours at malaga airport so it must be very localised.

    yep we had a huge shower which seem to build out of nowhere this afternoon and in about 40 minutes dumped a huge amount of rain. Sun is back shining for the first time since Friday and temperatures have dropped a good bit, back down to 23C now.

    Tomorrow is meant to be much improved here so fingers crossed I get one last final warm day before I head home! More heavy rain is forecasted for the area after Tuesday again, but i'll be back at home by that stage.

    The weather here was great up until yesterday morning. A good few people around area have told us they have been staying in this area for the past 20+ years and never seen early September weather with 2 days of rain.

    Had an ok day here. Breezy but it was ok in the sun. It’s very very autumnal though. There’s no Indian summer here.

    judging from what I've read since September 1st, certainly no warmth in Ireland. Most Septembers usually have several days of low to mid 20's, but not this year.

    Just London and the extreme south-east of England seems to be holding onto some comfortable warmth this month.

    Well Phoenix Park got up to 25.1c on September 2nd which would make it one of Dublin's warmest September days since 2000 (not sure about since records began because I haven't looked at them for this) along with 17 September 2003, 28 September 2011 and 5 September 2016.

    At least it's been pretty sunny so far, I'll gladly take that regardless of temperatures.
