Autumn 2019 - General Discussion

Steady normal warm rain now in Arklow
Doesn't look like it's going to do much
Nearly forgot what it was!

Currently 19c

Gonzo · 21-09-2019 4:10pm

showers avoiding me all afternoon, some sun at times and rather warm, currently 19C after reaching 20C earlier.

Xenji · 21-09-2019 4:23pm

The rain has arrived in Castlebar after a overcast but mild start to the day, we had a lovely 4 day spell though up to today so it is not all bad.

Gonzo · 21-09-2019 5:01pm

all I can hear is the sound of lawnmowers, strimmers and clippers throughout the area, everyone rushing to get the gardening done before the rain.

Gonzo · 21-09-2019 5:47pm

temperatures today across Europe really beginning to show the approach of mid Autumn. Aside from France and Southern half of UK, everywhere else has cooled down significantly, including many parts of Spain. Northern Scandinavia into eastern Europe and Russia also cooling down quickly. Will be interesting to see how much northern Europe cools down this week with much cooler weather on the way for much of north-western Europe.

Heavy thundery downpour just now and currently ongoing in cork city, heaviest of the day.

Yep same here at present. The recent fine spell of weather already seems like a fading memory.

Is there much thunder or just the odd rumble?

Mortelaro · 21-09-2019 6:57pm

Very wet in Arklow now also

I didn’t hear any thunder in the city & there’s no strikes showing

SleetAndSnow · 21-09-2019 7:22pm

No thunder just thundery downpours! Still going and has just gotten heavier!

Thundery downpours are downpours with thunder. So they're not thundery downpours then?

igCorcaigh · 21-09-2019 7:49pm

Thinking a Yellow warning might have been warranted for all this rain.
Must be spot flooding in places?

leahyl · 21-09-2019 7:54pm

Sitting in the car in town and it’s absolutely bucketing, a lot of surface water about too

Itssoeasy · 21-09-2019 7:55pm

Rotten weather in cork city atm. Shocking.

leahyl · 21-09-2019 7:59pm

Ok I don’t think I can actually get out of the car! It’s so bad

Its biblical stuff in cork city. Was there a rain warning that I missed ?

Not that I know of, they said heavy rain but didn’t think it would be like this!!

Surely there’ll be flooding if this keeps up

Well It's heavy alright. Will you need a boat or some kind if it continues.

Oh my bad sorry, I thought they meant the really heavy rain associated with thunder storms

Gonzo · 21-09-2019 9:18pm

The September dry spell has come to an end. Heavy rain now bucketing down here in Dunshaughlin and for me today marked the end of any summer style weather and the transition into proper Autumn/Winter, so the shorts and t-shirts are put away for another year.

We can very often get pleasantly warm sunny weather right up to mid October(we did last year as far as I remember) so it may not be time to put them away just yet. Granted it doesn't look too promising for the next few weeks.

True we can get nice sunny days in October or any winter month, but the temperature levels we had over past few days won't be there.

Rock Lesnar · 21-09-2019 9:49pm

Was in Drogheda all day and expected to find a lot of rain here when i got home, didnt get much at all, 2mm recorded, bucketing down now though

Meath.

Eejits. Irish windscreen wipers have three speeds. Light, heavy and Irish...

Listening to drums on the roof just now and the garden is well watered.. No one has ever explained why the ocean does not overflow.

Sligo Airport got up to 22c on 10 October last year but such days are very uncommon.

km79 · 21-09-2019 10:57pm

Badly needed drop of rain in athenry
The drought that was feared after a few sunny days in February has been averted thank god

Mobhi1 · 21-09-2019 11:55pm

Not all that much rain here, although seems a lot after the previous few dry days. 1.4mm recorded and a high temperature of 20.1C.

Graces7 · 22-09-2019 6:32am

Very , utterly still and very utterly dark. Heavy rain in the night and the moon is shrouded in mist, a vague shape far, far away... as soon as there is a glimmer of light I will go for my daily wander along one of the lanes and see what is to see, or not as low clouds shroud and hide mountains.

Such deep, deep silence.

Rock Lesnar · 22-09-2019 7:25am

Heavy rain all night here in Meath and more on the way, as Gonzo said, it might be time to put the shorts away, but as i always wear them inside the house, i'll give them another few days outside yet anyway

Awoken with the noise of it now. Good decision to cut the grass yesterday

Let's see if the rain in Japan can match it for the rugby

Mortelaro · 22-09-2019 8:13am

Biggest rain in Arklow in months
Just gone over 20mm

Yea it’s heavy rain all night in Meath... I always judge by my cats bowl! And it was fully overflowing this morning!

Hooter23 · 22-09-2019 11:30am

Back to the usual weather again...I think i might go out protesting to bring climate change to ireland we could do with it...

Gonzo · 22-09-2019 11:58am

I was woken up with the sound of torrential rain last night and couldn't sleep for an hour afterwards. Pools of water all over the driveway and along the road.

I said yesterday some places could get 50-100mm of rain over the next week, following last night's rainfall that total may now seem rather short sighted with 20-40mm already in many areas from last night alone.

MidMan25 · 22-09-2019 12:35pm

Lovely day in Cork. Bit of a cool breeze at times but sunny and warm in sheltered areas.

Mobhi1 · 22-09-2019 12:51pm

There has been only 7.4mm rain recorded here since midnight. The current temperature which is the day's high is 16.2C. Last night was quite mild with 14.6C.

Graces7 · 22-09-2019 1:06pm

A wild wind full of energy; wondering if the humidity levels have fallen with this wind as it feels different.

Also very mild; not an ounce of malice in the wind as it tries to blow you over.

No mountains. Just clouds of all kinds and colours. But feels good out there. Been tidying my neglected garden even.

It has all changed this last few days. Autumn in its glory. Not that we have autumn colour here. When I first came to Ireland it was after a decade on a similarly storm tossed treeless island in the North Sea and my first autumn was totally magical.

pad199207 · 22-09-2019 1:07pm

Mild and sultry in Kildare. 20mm of rain today

RedPeppers · 22-09-2019 1:09pm

Just under 4mm since late yesterday evening in N Galway. Lovely sunny day here no sign of rain for now

Mobhi1 · 22-09-2019 1:19pm

Sun just came out here. It's 17.0C

DOCARCH · 22-09-2019 1:30pm

Sun is out in Dublin 16. Humid and feeling warm. 18.8c atm.

dublincelt · 22-09-2019 2:02pm

Monsoon conditions in Carlow Town!

NIMAN · 22-09-2019 2:09pm

Some amount of rain this morning in N.Donegal.

Thankfully its dried up now, and bright.
