    Lovely evening here, really has been nice the last few days compared to the muck that we got for most of this month. I'm presuming the rain will be back soon though :rolleyes: It seems the past few months we can't go for more than a few days without rain.

    Don't remind me Sryanbruen, thoughts of it brings me out in sweats. I remember it took me 5 or 6 hours to get home from work as M50 closed at one stage due to snow. The stress of driving over those few weeks.

    Now I didnt mind when we were all snowed in was it 2 years ago? That was grand because we could all just stay at home!

    I want no snow or else snowed in!

    Not sure what happened to this high pressure system. It was supposed to be sunny, but has been bleak, cloud for most of the past two days.

    I always say (in Dublin at least) I'm convinced you're as likely to get half-decent and sunny weather under low pressure (or at least slack pressure) as you are with high pressure.

    I've lost count of the number of days over the past few years when a strong area of high pressure has been slap bang over Ireland and Dublin has been covered in cloud or had rain. It's so frustrating.

    I didn't even think it was meteorologically possible.

    Anticyclonic gloom, quiet common under high pressure during the winter unfortunately.

    lol... I would be fine out here. Well stocked always as we get cut off regularly. Still yearning to build one last snowman.

    I am spending hours a day ( knitting at the same time) on this series on youtube, "Life below Zero". Within the Arctic Circle etc ( cannot post links) Breathtaking SNOW and people who live survival out there. Relying on their hunting and fishing skills etc. Utterly riveting .

    If I were young.... I mean it!

    Meanwhile a chilly morning. The cats are now creeping into bed with me thinking I will keep them warm when really the opposite is happening.

    I think it's going to be an unpredictable winter, I'm a total novice, but does the lack of air traffic have anything to do with a change in weather direction.
    Probably a silly question, but I'm prepared to be laughed at or told air traffic has nothing to add or take from the weather.

    Just cloudy again. No air frost, our last and first one was in September.

    Our temperatures have much greater diurnal range in the summer months.

    Surprise surprise -4c promised this week and only barely got a -1

    Cold next week downgraded on latest GFS now probably 6c and wet

    Unless they promise -30c it wont snow and even then it will probably end up being 3c

    It ALWAYS gets downgraded just like storms and heatwaves.

    A nice calm November night here in Castlebar with the moon shining through a thin layer of cloud which is also preventing a frost.

    The same here near Tralee Oscar Bravo but wouldn't take much to bring it below freezing, 3.1C atm. Dropping slowly. Covered some concrete I made.....just in case :)

    0c at nearby Claremorris here in Mayo in both the midnight and 1am repoorts. The sky has cleared nicely here over the past couple of hours and there is already a nice icy coating on the car. A lovely calm moonlit night out there with the silence punctuated every so often by the screech of a fox in the distance. A welcome respite from the rains.

    Deep, still deepening silence over island and ocean this night and early morning. To open the door is to draw in a sharp breath! A bitter intense chill.

    Late last night the high- hung moon had that almost multi coloured transparent halo that betokens intense cold or even frost nearby or soon. Breath was chill in the lungs! And still is. Utter glory but too cold to stay out long. Dazzling shining.

    A cold winter night passing now, and a chilly day ahead. We shall see at first light what frost there is out here. I know the usual places that are affected by grass frost when nowhere else is, after five years of close observation.. And the grass is still tall and sturdy. The wide blades under the fuchsia are the first targets.

    A day for brisk walks and enjoying the sky and the freshness of the air with delight. And wrapping warm against the cold.

    Another gorgeous day in Dublin. I'd take this nice still weather and temperatures over our usual summer weather any time. You can spend all day outside in weather like this.

    The chill is far less aggressive this morning, and dry. I may venture out in a while....

    That was lovely. A gentle amble down the lane. barely light ands the harbour and lighthouse lights still working at their shining in every direction

    Clear and chilly but no offence in it. Even gathered a few lumps of turf someone had dropped :D.. The cats and I had a really pleasurable walk. Rare these days is this. A good start to the day. Refreshing.

    Blustery and horrible in Dublin, the calm weather had to end eventually. Overall autumn wasn't the worst i suppose plenty of calm dry weather.

    Wondrously atmospheric …. dark and foreboding.. but so mild after yesterday .
    Not even thinking of lighting the fire.

    and the breeze has dropped and faded away. Just an occasional gusts echoes.

    the lines are contrails from aircraft. if you rewind flight radar to midday you can work out what aircraft they came from... if your board that is.

    Overall, found it an ok autumn but very boring. November wasn't the worst I've seen such as last year.. but like the autumn and almost every season since 2018, monotonous. A forgettable season.

    I dunno, I went for quite a few late autumn walks this November. In the sun too. Not as wet as last year, so good in my books.

    I thought it was one of best autumns in a long time in Dublin.

    It was mild, sunny + dry in Sept + Oct which was brilliant for getting out to park every weekend.

    Nov was much drier than last year in Dublin which was great.

    I enjoyed this autumn more than the summer!

    I didn't think this Autumn was too bad until November. Plenty of sunshine throughout September and October, the first half of September delivered something that Summer 2020 couldn't: sunshine and warm temperatures. Second half of September turned much cooler and this cool pattern remained into first half of October with quite a bit of sunshine. Second half of October went milder than average and this persisted for most of November along with fairly wet conditions at times. Overall Autumn 2020 was not in the same league of awfulness as Autumn 2019 from mid September to end of November. The ground here in Meath got fairly saturated in the Autumn which was boosted by the cool, cloudy and wet summer of 2020.
