Autumn 2019 - General Discussion

Heavy dark clouds around, but the sun is poking through between them giving a few brief spells. An unusual setup here in South Laois. Dry, quite humid and almost 20c in a moderate southwest breeze.

Much the same out here on the west coast and no need to light the stove today.

Sunny and misty n Sligo now

Gonzo · 12-09-2019 1:31pm

damp and wet here in Meath, heavy drizzle. Feeling mild temperature of 19C.

iamwhoiam · 12-09-2019 1:34pm

Sunny and very humid in south Dublin . Clouds are gathering now for who knows what they bring

sryanbruen · 12-09-2019 1:38pm

Been mainly cloudy in north Dublin with the odd sunny spell. Pretty boring as this September has been so far. Literally nothing standing out about it.

the next two weeks look very uneventful too. The only good thing is we won't be having another very wet month after August.

Had a look through photos and I have some from 31st March, 22nd April and 6th of May with cloudless skies, guess we did have a few in Spring at least!

And for what it's worth, a miserable wet, drizzly morning here again

That anticyclonic spell in April (or was it May?) was beautiful. Hazy skies and not too warm. It was great to see the sunlight on the ground having that filtered orange tint. Sunshine in Ireland normally is that glaringly white, wet looking type that bleaches all colour from the sky, so it made for a nice change.

The “nice spell from Friday “ is already downgrading by the day
Heavy rain all day Sunday now

Wet days look few and far between on the latest guidance...for our part of the world at least:

Can we ban Arklow guy?

Artane2002 · 12-09-2019 3:52pm

Drizzly morning in Dublin 5/9 followed by nice weather but then there was a moderate shower and it's been overcast since then.

A really beautiful week ahead from tomorrow. A bit of cloud in some areas at times but mostly sunny and warm for the time of year.

Hope everyone enjoys while it lasts :cool:

Just looking at the NAO figures for the Summer gone, and out of the 92 days, 79, or 85.9%, of them came in with a negative value. Unusual, yes, but not unprecedented. We have only to look back at 2016, 2014, 2012, 2011, 2010 & 2009 to see roughly similar figures which is notable in itself, as summers with a high number of negative values have occurred quite frequently since 2009, as we have to look back as far as 1958 to see values that are on par, and at 88 days, is still the year with the highest No of - days during the summer months.

Edit, added chart to better explain.

An interesting, if totally pointless stat, is that overall, Autumns following a summer with such a high volume of negative NAO days are slightly more favoured (around a 62% prob) to finish slightly wetter than average. Let's see how that works out this time around.

Gonzo · 12-09-2019 4:41pm

not a nice afternoon in Meath, dull, dark and drizzle.

Hooter23 · 12-09-2019 5:10pm

Warm & Sunny...Galway:cool:

Rock Lesnar · 12-09-2019 6:26pm

Sun is out and sky is clear, great evening here in Meath

Have to confess I don't remember the sunny spell during the spring (even though I have photos as evidence

) but agreed, I love that hazy desert-like sun with an orange tint to the sky, especially in May/June with the long evenings.

Turned out a lovely evening here now after the rain cleared, lets hope it holds for tomorrow

Xenji · 12-09-2019 7:05pm

A lovely bright evening in Castlebar after a dull and wet start to the day.

Oscar Bravo · 12-09-2019 8:32pm

Nice and clear. Stunning view of the moon rising now

Birdnuts · 12-09-2019 9:32pm

What does it say about this rain on Sunday?

pad199207 · 12-09-2019 10:50pm

Clear beautiful night here at home,

Over in SE Spain, chaos is ensuing. Close to 200mm in Torrevieja now since midnight

Meteorite58 · 12-09-2019 10:56pm

Beautiful evening here in Kerry also, cool now at 9.1C and calm, nice watching the moon rising above the mountains . Illumination 96%, Full moon Sat.

parts of Valencia have had 400mm of rain fall over the past 24 hours, lots of cars washed away.

Meteorite58 · 12-09-2019 11:23pm

Met Eireann spoke of uncertainty with where it would rain on Sunday and the amounts. Looks like a weak cold front making very slow progress into an area of Hp to the S of Ireland. Possibly stalling for a time or just crawling along. Cloudy for most with a possible clearance in the NW, N later in the afternoon.

Kutebride · 12-09-2019 11:53pm

Oh no rubbish. That's disappointing. Told few people weekend to be good weather. Looks a bit damp for Croke Park Sunday.

Graces7 · 13-09-2019 5:19am

Lovely night.... bright moon and dramatic cloudscapes, then a myriad stars. Crisply chilly but not a breath of a breeze..Utterly silent.

West mayo offshore

Graces7 · 13-09-2019 7:21am

Went out thinking a lovely walk morning! So still the midges are stinging constantly and the pollen count is high! Between the pain and the sneezing...:eek:

Not the day for rhapsodising re the sky !

Very chill; in sheltered lanes the verges are white with hoar. Seen this a few weeks ago too. Clear white.

So a spectator day for me but lovely to look at.. from safety!

Artane2002 · 13-09-2019 7:42am

Beautiful, crisp morning in Dublin 5

km79 · 13-09-2019 7:44am

Ill bet any money that weak front will stall over athenry and give nearly an inch of rain again

Cool sunny morning with a low of 4.6c in Kildare

pauldry · 13-09-2019 9:28am

Uncertainty often means less rain for NW. Maybe our daily morning drizzle bar today

sryanbruen · 13-09-2019 10:16am

Lovely start but a fair bit of cloud and very hazy sun now in Dublin 13.

Mortelaro · 13-09-2019 11:20am

Gorgeous in Arklow

Gavlor · 13-09-2019 11:24am

Another stunner in the south east

Kristopherus · 13-09-2019 11:27am

Met Eireann forecast for wk/e & next week. Looks good, if a bit late.

"Sunday night will be mainly dry, with just a few spots of light rain or drizzle at first, mainly in parts of the south. Mist and fog patches will form in light winds. Min. 5 to 9 Celsius generally, but milder in the south.

Monday: Mainly dry, with some bright or sunny spells developing. Maximum temperatures 15 to 19 Celsius, in light northwest or variable breezes.

Tuesday to Sunday, inclusive: Current indications are for dry, settled weather, with high pressure dominating. There will be some sunny intervals each day, with mostly light variable winds. Temperatures around normal at first, ranging between 15 and 19 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it will become a little milder after midweek, with values of 16 to 20 Celsius. Nights will be cool, with some mist and fog patches."

Don't worry, the replay is tomorrow at 6pm! (and the Met Eireann app says a high of 25 degrees in Dublin at 5pm, 23 at 6pm)

That's right but the Ladies All-Ireland Football is in Croke Park Sunday. Am I reading that rain is on the cards mid-country on Sunday?
Anyway may enjoy today and tomorrow. Bright and fresh in Meath with the sun breaking through at times. Lovely.

SleetAndSnow · 13-09-2019 12:12pm

Lovely day in cork city. Blue skies with some clouds and warm

Carol25 · 13-09-2019 12:14pm

Salthill this morning, not a puff of wind. Plenty of flies around though!

Graces7 · 13-09-2019 3:04pm

Perfect summer afternoon here. Been meandering in the back field with three of the cats, who were in wild mode, racing and leaping in the warm sun. Sheer joie de vivre. echoing the day

Picking blackberries but distracted by deep bright blue ocean and cloud dappled skies. Utter perfection. all is still summer; flowers and green grass. Warm and a gentle breeze.

west mayo; offshore paradise

Warmed up nicely with temperatures aproaching 19c now in prolonged sunshine - just a few cotton buds up there.
