This morning reminds me of an old song from the 60s "All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey"

Graces7 · 29-10-2020 11:19am

Incredible... unbelievable weather! Just... lol. there are no words.

Gonzo · 29-10-2020 12:58pm

a wet miserably morning here in Meath, but in fairness we haven't had that many wet days since the end of Summer.

Graces7 · 29-10-2020 1:30pm

The ferryman says it will be better tomorrow ie they can cross for the Shopping Trip. met ie agrees...

forestgirl · 29-10-2020 1:36pm

I get great value out of a good long walk on a day like today because I get a good airing out and all it takes is a quick shower when home.

fineso.mom · 29-10-2020 3:15pm

Just back from a vigorous 4k up and 4k down a hill with a friend. Took advantage of a slight easing of the heavy rain and am delighted we did. It was so warm that a light mist on the way down was refreshing. Was just in the door when it started lashing again. West Limerick

appledrop · 29-10-2020 3:17pm

Glad we have been out + about for walks so much this midterm.

Gives us a great excuse to not venture out the door today!

Oh to be 21 again.......

seamusk84 · 29-10-2020 3:40pm

Is that window of half decent weather still holding steady for tomorrow lunchtime onward before the weekend washout?

Need to figure out when I'll get a decent cycle in and that is looking the best bet.

mcburns07 · 29-10-2020 4:12pm

Brutal day in Cork

The silence is breathtaking.

Totally, awesomely quiet. Even the rain has stopped.

Chill and still.

A day to set all back in order and prepare for the next days of gales

a lovely very mild and sunny morning in Meath, almost mild enough to be outside in a t-shirt.

Lovely calm sunny day here in Kerry. Much needed respite from the wind and rain. 12.7C

appledrop · 30-10-2020 3:24pm

Stunning day here in NCD.

Just back from beautiful coastal walk + can't believe how mild it was.

The calm before the storm as they say!

4Ad · 30-10-2020 3:41pm

Beautiful day in East Clare also..

Pangea · 30-10-2020 3:59pm

Went for my morning walk earlier as Gerry Murphy promised me 'the best day of the week', didn't stop raining the whole time , drenched. In fairness probably was the best day of the week

daniel_t1409 · 31-10-2020 11:22am

Sun shining here this morning.

appledrop · 31-10-2020 12:24pm

A mixed bag here in NCD.

Very windy all morning, but changes between dull + lashing rain one minute, then sunshine the next.

Glad I got the walk in yesterday!

Won't be same trick or treat this year but we will have a walk around to see some of decorations in houses then back home for treasure hunt in house.

Oscar Bravo · 31-10-2020 12:30pm

Should be some decent breaks in the cloud early in the night to view the full halloween Moon. First time a full moon has fallen on Halloween itself since 1974.

Also as a matter of interest it is a blue moon because it is the second full moon this calendar month.

It has thankfully quietened the last while. Hopefully a calmer evening and night ahead as we enter November and winter. May the transition be smooth and hopeful . It was always seen as an auspicious and significant time,, hence all Hallows Eve today, then All Saints tomorrow then All Souls .

Graces7 · 31-10-2020 6:39pm

This is the sheltered bay behind my home. Usually millpond calm with just a gentle, soothing tidal flow and music...

With these gales! I had never seen it like this before... Stood there rapt and it was worth getting drenched .

Graces7 · 01-11-2020 4:50am

A wild and windnoisy night out here. Looking forward to a quiet Sunday later.
