Autumn 2019 - General Discussion

Donegal Storm · 06-09-2019 5:53pm

Cool and windy in Letterkenny with plenty of heavy drizzle showers. An improvement on the past few weeks in that there's the odd patch of blue sky but feeling very autumnal

Rock Lesnar · 06-09-2019 6:42pm

Dry and sunny since the rain cleared early this morning, was very breezy earlier, not so much now, Meath

A quiet, sleepy old morning here. More later... But blissfully peaceful. wests mayo offshore island

Forecast

Apart from isolated light showers it will be dry today. There will be a good deal of cloud, but some sunny spells also. Highest temperatures will range from 14 to 18 or possibly 19 degrees Celsius, highest in southern areas.

Actual weather in Sligo

Mist and drizzle all night and morning until now. Partial clearing now. Ground soaked though so no painting or mowing lawn as I was lead to believe by forecast all weej id be able to do

Clonmel1000 · 07-09-2019 11:34am

Cool and very cloudy can feel drips of rain. Had nice sunshine yesterday evening but a stiff wind making it feel very chilly.

Clonmel1000 · 07-09-2019 11:48am

Raining now.

The forecast for our area is driving me nuts all summer. Even the morning of they aren't getting it right.

Oneiric 3 · 07-09-2019 2:28pm

Quick chart (whatever a 'quick chart' might be..) that shows the 7 day running rainfall trend, or a 'singularity' for Autumn in Ireland for the relatively small 2011 to 2018 base period. I used this small base period as it is what most of on here would be familiar with by experience. Data is C/O Met Eireann.

A gradual, if non linear rise upwards is apparent as we go further into the season with the wettest period of all tending to be the early to mid-November period.

8 year trend for the season:

September - fairly even distribution throughout the month but still with isolated very wet days.

October: Tends to start off with a wet period but followed by a drier period towards mid-month, but tending wetter again during 2nd half.

November: First and last weeks tend to be drier than mid month period.

I wonder will rainfall in Autumn 2019 comply with this recent pattern?

Rock Lesnar · 07-09-2019 3:18pm

Out cutting hedges around the house and i got sun burned, some heat when the sun comes out from behind the clouds

Meath

Graces7 · 07-09-2019 3:38pm

Indoors all day and NOT The weather.. well it is! Went out in the burgeoning sun to do some gardening to feel my face stinging.. badly... dratted midges been breeding all the bad weather... clouds of them all starving for fresh blood and not a breath of wind... Bright out there now but no chance... Bring back the wind, please!

Gorgeous day in Arklow again
A bit cooler
Max was 17.1c

Heroditas · 07-09-2019 8:54pm

Classic Irish September day today. Went to the Ireland match with the kids and spent the afternoon taking our sunglasses on and off, taking my coat on and off, worrying if the kids would get sunburnt one minute and then wrapping them up warm the next!

SleetAndSnow · 07-09-2019 11:42pm

Was chilly enough in cork city today, bit of a cold breeze. First night in a while that there is a chill in the house also! Winter is coming

Would have been a warmer day had the sun appeared but alas it was cloudy

Kutebride · 08-09-2019 1:03am

Stunning day in Dingle today.

Graces7 · 08-09-2019 6:48am

Back to wild, wet, windy out here. ah well! Yesterday was a break! West mayo offshore

Nevertheless, went berrypicking in the wild wind and mist and very invigorating! Seeing it sweeping in over the low tide sands.. weather out here is constant and unavoidable! Part of life in a rather lovely way.

Donegal Storm · 08-09-2019 2:32pm

Awful day in Donegal with heavy misty drizzle and low visibility

Lucky enough to get a good walk in before the mist and drizzle came down proper here in Kerry. Waves of low cloud and drizzle coming in off the sea from a dissipating warm front. Autumnal.

Mild enough at 16.8C

Out in t shirts here in Dublin and line full of towels bone dry in the warm breeze

RobertKK · 08-09-2019 5:10pm

RTE issued a code red weather for tomorrow as they try and fix the sound on the HD channel on Sky.
Obviously no code red tomorrow, apart for their sound on the RTE's HD channels on Sky.

They had it written during the snow in 2018 and hadn't used it since

SleetAndSnow · 08-09-2019 5:50pm

Just started drizzling in cork city around 10 minutes ago. Only about 11 or 12 degrees here too at the moment, feels very different then a few weeks ago.

Gonzo · 08-09-2019 6:31pm

lovely September Sunday here in Meath, was warm earlier and good sunny spells. Ground is starting to get fairly dry here now with not much heavy rain since mid August.

km79 · 08-09-2019 8:39pm

Why do Met have thunder storm graphic for tonight ?????? Where has this come from
Nothing in MTC forecast

Cleared up for a while in late afternoon here so managed to get a quick walk in, heavy rain again now though. Evenings are really closing in now as well, summer feels a distant memory already

As for thunder, the radar does have a bit of a convective look to it so wouldn't be surprised if some see a flash or two

Graces7 · 09-09-2019 4:43am

Wild, wet, windy out here and decidedly chilly. And still the equinoctial gale season to anticipate... grateful thoughts of the stack of turf outside..

The weekend. especially Saturday, saw a real flurry of activity when the gales subsided a while. It became quite busy; well for the island!

It is the light early mornings I miss far more than the evenings as these were my walking hours.

Mortelaro · 09-09-2019 10:28am

Windy but suns came out just now in Arklow
Only 1.4mm rain last night here
Was interesting to see how wet the streets of Dublin were on sky news earlier
The ground is bone dry here

09-09-2019 10:44am

Got soaked getting from home to work this morning..... Drogheda to Dublin. Parking car, running 10 mins in rain to train station, horizontal rain blowing into platform at station , no proper shelter for the amount of commuters at that station, got soaked, drizzle when I got off train in Dublin. Yuk!

pauldry · 09-09-2019 10:57am

Good weather from next Friday

Probably only very light drizzle in West instead of constant rain

Rock Lesnar · 09-09-2019 11:03am

Sun is out after a very wet morning, looks like its getting warmer from thursday, shorts can stay on for another couple of weeks anyway

Gonzo · 09-09-2019 11:55am

alot of heavy rain overnight, feeling quite chilly too. Much of Europe has cooled down also, looks chilly over central Europe and Scandinavia.

Franz Von Peppercorn II · 09-09-2019 11:59am

Yeh, today in particular lots of Central Europe is cold. Berlin is 14 at 1pm Central European time. Hannover is 16. South of Hamburg the harz mountain area is 13.

(I have alerts for these areas as I was on vacation in Europe).

Madrid is 24, coolest in a long time as most of August was 30+.

Franz Von Peppercorn II · 09-09-2019 11:59am

All recovering by end of week.

moni jonas · 09-09-2019 12:02pm

Yes i am loving it

An Ri rua · 09-09-2019 1:20pm

Was at a Cemetery Sunday near Tullamore yesterday and got slight sunburn, red, not burn per se, despite it being 1130-1pm. Superb weather.
The thick mist and subsequent heavy rain came in very suddenly to North Offaly/North Laois around 730pm.

Gonzo · 09-09-2019 1:52pm

possibly one of the driest ensemble runs I've seen all year. Very little rain over the next 2 weeks apart from maybe a few patches of drizzle or light showers. The trend is for the second half of September to be warmer and dryer than the first half, could even give August a run for it's money.

Chris_5339762 · 09-09-2019 8:07pm

4ºc tonight in Cork according to RTE. That'll be a shock to the system as its easily the coldest night for a while. It'll be a lovely crisp morning.

Graces7 · 10-09-2019 6:43am

Chilly! Sharp and fresh and still... socks please! ( laid a stock in..) Dry though so planning a blackberry outing when it is light enough. Gathering rose hips on the lane...

LATER. sudden wind now. Fresh and sweet with an autumn chill

Graces7 · 10-09-2019 10:19am

seriously , seriously cold! In fact, I am planning soon to... LIGHT THE STOVE!. First time since March....

Not a sight of the sun to mitigate the chill.... wish I had a thermometer but cold hands and feet are enough

beautiful morning here in Meath, very sunny, blue skies, no cloud. Feeling mild.

Yep, its a stunner, i see on the radar that rain in the north west is edging this way, hopefully it fizzles out before it gets here

It has arrived out here and a wind chill to set teeth on edge.

iamwhoiam · 10-09-2019 12:17pm

Beautiful day in Dublin , the sun is warm and a lovely bright sky . It is Autumn but a beautiful autumn day

Rock Lesnar · 10-09-2019 12:30pm

Clouded over now here in meath and the breeze has picked up

highdef · 10-09-2019 1:20pm

Mostly cloudy in Dublin city now with just the odd fleeting glimpse of hazy sun that is becoming less frequent as time passes with thicker cloud building from the West. Mild if you are sheltered from the ever strengthening breeze but the breeze has a distinctive coolness to it.

Could be worse though!

Clonmel1000 · 10-09-2019 1:49pm

The difference in the weather in Dublin in one hour as seen above sums up the views on this forum this summer!

Gonzo · 10-09-2019 2:13pm

gone completely cloudy here too with a few spits of drizzle in the rain, pity because earlier on was beautiful.

Graces7 · 10-09-2019 2:26pm

High wind rampaging out here with a chill on its breath and sporadic rain.

Is it too early to hibernate please?
