pauldry · 03-09-2018 1:40pm

sunny in Sligo but chilly air.

If its clear in Markree tonight it could be near 0c.

I think Winter will come early in 2018...

Harry Palmr · 03-09-2018 2:40pm

Glorious early Autumn day in the Deise. Sun sun sun with a light breeze.

km79 · 03-09-2018 3:34pm

Back to school weather in full effect
Great day

SleetAndSnow · 03-09-2018 4:58pm

stunning day in Cork City. Was burning up in school. About 18 degrees and clear blue skies

Meteorite58 · 03-09-2018 8:14pm

Really beautiful bright sunny day with passing cloud here near Tralee, bit of a breeze at times and would need a jacket in the open countryside in the late morning / early afternoon. Became near clam in the late afternoon. High of 17.3C and cooling down now to 11.9C with a frosty feel to the air under clear blue skies.

Pic : 18.00 approx in the back garden.

Thanks Km79, nice evening light getting through the trees earlier. Light fading fast now. Going to be a chilly night, Met Eireann saying as low as 3C

Oscar Bravo · 03-09-2018 11:27pm

11pm met reports

Mount Dillon 6 degrees. perhaps some frost later in rural locations,if skies stay clear.

sryanbruen · 04-09-2018 11:07am

September has gotten off to a super start in Dublin, this morning in particular is fantastic with little cloud so far.

Billcarson · 04-09-2018 11:42am

Got down to 5.7c here in Ashbourne last night, coldest night since may.

Darwin · 04-09-2018 12:31pm

The car showed only 3c on the way in to work this morning, warming up nicely now though.

Artane2002 · 04-09-2018 5:17pm

I'm back after a break from posting here (I've still been reading). September has been beautiful so far. I'm loving the cool nights/mornings because it makes me feel very comfortable and cosy in bed

. Plenty of sunshine too.

km79 · 04-09-2018 10:24pm

Looks like it’s all going downhill here from tomorrow evening on
Had been really looking forward to a full week and weekend of good weather
Thursday looks absolutely miserable
Seems to be a narrow band of rain forecast to be over us all feckin day
And cold

harr · 04-09-2018 10:54pm

Heading to Spain next week for the holidays 3 days in Malaga and two in Torremolinos ...after wall to wall sunshine in the that region the last few weeks it’s giving thunderstorms and a general mixed bag for next week.
I will be raging if weather is pissy:mad:

The Weather in the Malaga region still looks very decent for next week, slight chance of a thunderstorm on Monday but probably won't happen. Dry after that and sunny 26-28C for most of September.

Weather in Malaga region is currently very good, only seen about 1 hour of cloud here over the past 8 days.

Artane2002 · 05-09-2018 7:46am

Yet another beautiful, cool morning in Dublin 5.

Yep.

Mobhi1 · 05-09-2018 8:34am

It seems to have clouded up since. It has here anyway.

Xenji · 05-09-2018 11:36am

Cool and wet in Castlebar, humidity is up at 96%.

acequion · 05-09-2018 3:25pm

Horrible here in Tralee. Your typical "soft Irish day" that they can keep :mad:

Whatever happened to the predicted Indian summer? :rolleyes:

Come to Dublin acequoin, this was over an hour or so ago (it has clouded up now)

You can blame Atlantic tropical cyclones.

Gonzo · 05-09-2018 4:37pm

enjoying my final few days of hot Spanish sun, after a long hot summer. Once I get back to Ireland next week, my attention turns to winter, lamposts, easterlys, blizzards and snow trains.

Harry Palmr · 05-09-2018 6:20pm

Two days more or less identical (dry and sunny) but for one thing - yesterday the wind was frankly cold and even gusty, today more or less calm and much warmer feeling for it.

On another matter entirely - does anyone leave RTE Newsnow on? If so you'll see the little changing window for various topics - sport, entertainment, business, weather etc. The weather graphic for has been exactly the same for days now - cloudy rain!

The guy to whom that phrase is attributed to was misheard , what he really said was "its another ****e irish day "

05-09-2018 7:33pm

Soft day now, thanks be to Jehovah and all his bounty.

Harry Palmr · 05-09-2018 10:15pm

Indian Summer is in Oct/November not September.

Always thought it had to happen in October, learn something new everyday

Mobhi1 · 05-09-2018 10:33pm

What about the Irish term, meaning the same thing, "fómhar beag na ngéanna" (little autumn of the geese)?

pauldry · 05-09-2018 11:07pm

Lashing rain in Sligo since 7pm

Nothing on radar much and less than 1mm in Markree but brunt of this rains hitting Sligo town

"Secret rain"

At 6 news RTE weather showed rain clearing by 730

At 9 news they showed rain "arriving" at 3am

I think the window is the best weather forecast these days

SleetAndSnow · 06-09-2018 7:44am

Full and overcast morning in cork city.

Gonzo · 06-09-2018 5:38pm

some very severe showers in parts of Spain today, the national tv stations showing reports of massive hail showers, thunderstorms.

The Weather here near Malaga is still good but it's starting to look like it will turn very unsettled here from Saturday. Heavy rain and thunderstorms forecasted for Saturday more storms and heavy showers forecasted for the first half of next week.

Hopefully there will still be some warm sun on Sunday and Monday as i'll be back to a cold Ireland on Tuesday.

Artane2002 · 06-09-2018 9:32pm

A wet morning in Dublin followed by a beautiful evening. I'm actually happy with the morning rain for once

Kermit.de.frog · 06-09-2018 10:48pm

Artane2002 · 07-09-2018 7:46am

Very stunning morning in Dublin (again

). It feels colder than recent mornings but it's actually slightly milder.

giveitholly · 07-09-2018 10:17am

I know its a bit away but what is next weekend looking like,any sign of pressure or anything,especially on the Saturday

Lucreto · 07-09-2018 10:27am

Nice cool morning. The coolest since March or April. 5C this morning far better than 15C during the summer.

Long may it continue.

Xenji · 07-09-2018 11:27am

Cool and wet again this morning in Castlebar, 10.2C currently

The low here this morning was 6.3C, the coolest since May. There were a couple of days in June and August that weren't far off. And what's wrong with a low of 15?

A low of 15 during this summer outdoors usually meant an indoors low of 20+

There are some people who like a warm room to sleep in, others who prefer a cooler one.

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.

Harry Palmr · 08-09-2018 12:45pm

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.

km79 · 08-09-2018 12:53pm

Just horrible

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.
