    A broken sky here yet the broken blue bits never seem to cross the sun. About 1 minute of sunshine here in total today so far.

    In fairness it’s been a warm enough few days for September with temps above 20c on a few occasions.

    Overcast and misty here near Tralee for parts of the day with some light rain around midday but brighter spells in the afternoon with the sun making an appearance. Got a concrete slab poured so happy now :).

    Mild enough getting up to 17.1C and curently 14.7C

    Wild wet wind out here; marine warning territory. Open the door if you dare.

    Yesterday was lovely. I even managed a berry-picking expedition to the shore and just one shower. Warm clothes were needed on the exposed shore, but that is fine.

    There was abundant blue sky and sunshine later in fresh winds..

    Woken up by some pretty loud rain last night. Heaviest I have witnessed in a while despite a high pressure reading of about 1020 hPa.

    certainly no warmth this September. Monday and Tuesday will be fairly mild but from Wednesday it turns much cooler again and we will be back into a very unsettled scene from next weekend.

    It's a wet Monday in South Kildare. Is it too much to ask for a few fine days in sequence to dry out the ground after 9 months nearly solid rain since last September? There has not been 2 dry days in sequence in my area since June 1 and 2. The fine dry weather of late March, April and May has been well cancelled out now.

    Like I said, the Irish climate is like a particularly sadistic loan shark if you get fine weather out of season. You pay for it later with miserable wet mucky weather. I am sick of the forecasts which predict a few days fine weather only to wake up on the so called "fine day" and see rain and grey skies again. It looks like it's going to be a dull wet September similar to last year.

    Last September was actually quite a sunny month with most of the month on the relatively dry side. It was the last 10 days that really shaked things up and skewed the monthly rainfall totals.

    That middle period of September last was a godsend, bags of sunshine most days, pleasant days and comfortable nights.

    September last year was very much in two halves, the first half was lovely while the second half was the beginning to the year long deluge with the only real breaks being early January where it did dry out a bit and then of course the Spring.

    This September doesn't look great but it's not as poor as July and August just gone. This week doesn't look too bad, there will be some light rain or showers at times but nothing too heavy. The end of this month does look more unsettled and it remains to be seen how much rain we will get in the second half of this month.

    Not a glimpse of sun today in D5. Yesterday was nice though at least. Looks like we might have some good days in the next 10 days or so, fingers crossed.

    I thought it was a decent enough day in Dublin 5 after the horrible rain cleared off this morning.

    I was thinking the same, today's gloomy and damp conditions were very similar to the 10 day spell of murky, misty low hanging muck in the first half of August.

    Gerry is after using a great phrase this evening on Met Eireann forecast he said today the country was just 'smothered' with cloud!


    That sums up what we have had to put up with in Dublin all summer.

    Sweet silence after yesterday's tantrum.
    Although there is a certain peace lying in bed listening to the wind and rain.

    Very clammy, damp, unwholesome. It will be a day to light the fire I think. West Mayo offshore.

    It has been grim stuff alright. Very close and humid out there also and that oppressive blanket of cloud, mist and drizzle shows little sign of lifting. A real sodden and damp feel about the place. Central Mayo.
