Autumn 2020 - General Discussion

Graces7 · 09-09-2020 1:56pm

I was out to the back ocean-side field after berries and it is what they used to call "bracing" in the Yorkshire seaside hotel adverts

OH the sun has just emerged! And there it goes again!

Gonzo · 09-09-2020 2:17pm

lots of sunshine today and feeling fairly pleasant but it is alot cooler than yesterday by about 6C, now why couldn't the sun shine yesterday when we had warm uppers!

Hooter23 · 09-09-2020 3:32pm

Thats what usually happens here the cloud and rain arrives with the warm air and then the sun comes out when the cooler air arrives...by the weekend/next week might be different though might get some sun and warm air together

US2 · 09-09-2020 7:40pm

Any predictions for the first frost

daniel_t1409 · 09-09-2020 7:42pm

We had very light grass frost in a very sheltered spot that is prone to it out here a while ago; I did record it here.

Wow. Didn't think we had one already especially where you are by the sea. I'm looking forward to the first.

Gonzo · 10-09-2020 12:02pm

if the ECM and GEM are correct next week looks very mild indeed with temperatures hitting 20C for much of the week. GFS going for a cooler and more unsettled Atlantic dominated outlook after Monday. The big question is will we see any sunshine during these warm uppers or wil we be covered in a thick blanket of low hanging cloud and mist yet again while the UK basks in September heatwave conditions.

If I remember correctly we did have a warm dry sunny week or so in mid September 2019 before the autumn really set in so hopefully we will get something similar this year.

Graces7 · 10-09-2020 1:19pm

Degeneration into wild.... wet....windy. But mild

pauldry · 10-09-2020 1:53pm

misty damp and murky today.

Thats all

Supercell · 10-09-2020 2:15pm

Mostly overcast with occasional brief glimpses of sun here in south Dublin. Dry and not too windy, could be worse.

Hope they’re right and that the GFS is way off. They are disagreeing a lot the last few months.

Donegal Storm · 10-09-2020 7:01pm

This is quickly turning into another extremely cloudy month, endless grey skies once again today with occasional drizzle

SleetAndSnow · 10-09-2020 7:41pm

Drove to west cork on tuesday with some friends again since we had a shocking July time down there weather wise, and too my shock it was once again drizzling down there while it was dry in the city. Luckily the next day was warm ifnot verm warm and nearly clear skies so totally made up for it as did today, though cloudy, it was dry and warm

My thoughts exactly, and in some ways, it is even worse. No sunlight, no starlight, no moonlight; just endless low cloud, the odd spit and worst of all, that endless humid warmth that just will not **** off. Last night we were promised a clear, crisp coolish night with temps going down to about 7c. Instead, the cloud persisted throughout with temps not falling below 11c. Ten days into September now and not one night has seen a single figure min here. This is completely abnormal by any measure and no sign of any relent in this God awful pattern at all.

Shepards Delight · 10-09-2020 10:40pm

After a generally dry day a touch of mist at times nothing to much .
Tonight is a very cold night . Temps are reading 11c but feels much chiller than that . Cold light breeze and dry at present . Rain is due as we arrive into Friday morning .
Weekend in general will be unsettled at times . Daytime values will rise a little bit also .

Graces7 · 11-09-2020 5:12am

The wind is wild, nearing a gale, buffeting all the long night. West Mayo offshore

M.T. Cranium · 11-09-2020 7:27am

Another localized heavy rain situation may develop this morning in the vicinity of Westport, or a little further north than the Clifden event. Not to say this will be as severe but keep an eye on local streams and radar if in the general path of this frontal wave which is heading for north central Mayo and Sligo.

I hear it on my roof and windows.. Thankfully the ocean takes the run off where we are.

Deluging. Needless to say I am not going berry picking!

Goldfinch8 · 11-09-2020 8:33am

Rotten morning here just east of Castlebar. Heavy rain has set in here.

Thelonious Monk · 11-09-2020 9:46am

Usual cloudy morning here in Dublin. At least it's kind of a brighter cloudy. Sunday looks like blue skies and sunshine and 20c or so for the day, although it'll probably end up being cloudy. If it's actually sunny I'm going to lie outside all day and soak up as much as I can, I doubt we'll be seeing the likes again until next year.

Clonmel1000 · 11-09-2020 9:53am

Nice sunny morning here it’s autumnal but it’s bright it’s dry and it’s sunny which is a massive improvement on our “summer”.

There are no words; there really are none.

Nonstop deluges and the air tastes wet.

Fire lit. Self defence.

Dire! And not often I say that.

WET Mayo

OldRio · 11-09-2020 10:24am

Windy last night and this morning and raining for the last hour. Serious rain.
Awful. Relentless

You should consider moving to an offshore island. They've had frost already. ðŸ™‚

Oscar Bravo · 11-09-2020 11:04am

A wet morning here in Castlebar, already brightening up from the north west though.

Not a ground frost; as I said a very light grass frost at first light in a deeply shaded place. There was the same one day in August on a similar very clear very early morning. And the same last year at the same time. Gone by full light but very noticeable. Just a slight frosting on green leaves and rather lovely.

If you google grass frost Ireland you will see that it can happen in May. a/c to met.ie, and during summer . But you need to be out very early in the day..It will be widespread and common and not just out here! lol....I honestly thought that folk here would know about it? Very surprised and remembering the scepticism last year now.

Taking time out for my weblog I think.

Graces7 · 11-09-2020 11:42am

Cleared here to a bright and dry windy day.

Kutebride · 11-09-2020 11:56am

Cold. Dark. Windy. Meath

Hooter23 · 11-09-2020 12:00pm

Could be quite windy on Saturday...we usually get quite strong sustained winds...when we have low pressure out in the atlantic being blocked by high pressure...will be quite a warm wind anyway for this time of the year

Looking at the charts just now its looks like strongest of the winds in northwest...most places might miss it

Clonmel1000 · 11-09-2020 1:56pm

I spoke to soon we’re back to the normal cool windy cloudy threatening to rain. Can we not even get one decent days weather with no wind no cloud just blue skies and sunshine FFS it’s not to much to ask.

sryanbruen · 11-09-2020 2:00pm

Status Yellow - Rainfall warning for Donegal

From noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday, 25 to 35 mm of rain possible.

Some uncertainty. This warning will be updated before noon on Saturday.

Valid: 12:00 Saturday 12/09/2020 to 12:00 Sunday 13/09/2020

appledrop · 11-09-2020 3:27pm

Feels very chilly out there today. Think its the biting wind.

Sunday meant to be sunny but I wont hold my breath. Met Eireann have predicted sunny weather for Dublin since June + it never appeared!

Ah well what can you do.

Gonzo · 11-09-2020 3:47pm

today really feels bitter outside, feels no more than 9 or 10C with a stiff breeze at times.Should be warmer on Sunday and on Monday in the east and south.

Unfortunately it's not looking great for sunshine. The high pressure is rolling in across England and Wales from Monday with a mini heatwave there for a few days and 32C is possible there, but the cloud from the Atlantic will be over Ireland from Sunday afternoon with showers developing in places and there could be a band of rain stuck over western and north-western areas on Monday and into Tuesday. Temperatures will be higher for a few days but there is likely to be alot of cloud around for us as this is Ireland. However if sunny breaks do occur it could feel quite warm with temperatures getting close to 20 or 21C.

I'm in Louth , right beside the sea and its not bitter at all here ?(and I feel the cold dreadfully). 17 degrees ain't too bad for 11 September, long breezy walk on Laytown beach earlier. Gonna get a lot more bitter than this soon :rolleyes:

Thelonious Monk · 11-09-2020 4:49pm

Im also finding it quite cold in Dublin. Just cycled a bit and it started raining and hands are numb. Feels a lot colder than it's supposed to be.

Gonzo · 11-09-2020 5:50pm

alot of the models now going for an easterly to set up from mid week with high pressure to our north-east, this would lower temperatures particularly in Dublin and eastern areas in general. The ECM and GEM would bring alot of dry weather next week. The GFS is still more unsettled with more of an Atlantic influence with rain across the west from Monday.

Clonmel1000 · 11-09-2020 6:19pm

Dull wet cool evening here was a nice morning up until about mid day but since then utter rubbish again.

pauldry · 11-09-2020 6:20pm

Yes theres potential for 21c in the West many days next week. Its beginning to get chilly. Dont want to buy heating oil yet

daniel_t1409 · 11-09-2020 6:40pm

Dull and starting to rain now. Wexford.

You should get heating oil in. Roughly €500 for 1000l now. Was down to around €400 from the crash in march. Will probably just keep going up from now.

Thelonious Monk · 11-09-2020 7:35pm

The forecasts that showed Sunday as blazing sun all day seem to now be forecasting the day to be cloudier and cloudier as we get nearer to the day. Ffs.
