    What a day to end Sept on!

    After a glorious month today was easily the worse day.

    Plenty of rain out there today.

    it was as bad as the worst days of the deluge months of October/November 2019 and February/July/August 2020.

    Getting under the cool airmass now, 8.8C here near Tralee, set to get quite cold overnight into tomorrow morning. AROME looks the coldest.

    Some heavy localized showers and bright spells in Tralee today, one of which around 14.00 was torrential with water flowing down the road and foothpath , a few showers this evening, 7mm since midnight at my site, 15mm since the front arrived yesterday.

    Measured 10mm of rain from the front last night and a couple of heavy showers earlier today here in this part of Mayo. Was less than what I expected we would get but not complaining. Turned into a pleasant afternoon and a nice crisp evening where the temperature did not take long to drop away. Mainly clear skies here now with a nice bright moon and the unmistakable reddish glow of Mars not too far away from it.

    A bright and chilly mid morning after loud dramatic showers. The sky to the north is awesome; literally visible gray and black layers of falling rain and gravid rain bearing cloud d of all shapes and kinds, massed atop each other, and far off dwe llings shining luminous underneath.

    And south? Great while billows of cloud and deepest, clearest azure betwixt. The ocean reflecting all back.

    Days and nights of evanescent precipitation and wind. Essence of equinox and autumn. The sheer beauty and glory. New scenes at every turn and in every direction.

    No malice in it today. Which is good as it is grocery delivery day and the cupboards are looking more than a little depleted!. Need to be well stocked before the Storm heaves in. Must be practical. I have been in the garden where the sunflowers still shine, gathering leafy greens. May well light the fire.

    And a short time later! All gone, the blue and the light! Sky a mass of dark deep grey that is disintegrating into loud torrents of noisy cold water, . It was so lovely! Ah well . Love it while we have it..

    It's really been a very sudden change into Autumn this year and not the usual gradual descent into Autumn. If we didn't get the lovely weather during September, perhaps we wouldn't have noticed any change in the weather apart from temperatures since the summer was so poor. It only seems like over a week ago we had temperatures in the low twenties, now we are at the point of no return to those sort of temperatures for another 7 or 8 months.

    I don't mind the cold if it comes with sun like today in South Kildare but if rain comes with it we are truly f***d. The few dry months of Spring and 4 or 5 dry days at the end of September did not make up for last winter's near constant rain and the near constant rain of June, July, August and early September.

    Another stunner in Letterkenny with clear blue skies, warm sunshine and no wind.

    From reading this thread recently I think we've been getting by far the best of the weather up here, apart from some overnight rain on Tuesday we've had great weather for what feels like weeks now

    Yeah. it seems the north of the country has gotten the best weather over the last few weeks while the south gets all the rain, so much for sunny south east :D

    The weather front has arrived here in North Kildare and it looked very interesting on its approach from the south.

    When I woke a little earlier, I thought it was morning; the window was light.

    Ventured out to the brightest moonlight over the ocean. Clear.... rumbling tide song. Chilly... harbour lights and lighthouses.

    A sheer glory.

    Heavy rain now... it changes so swiftly.
