Autumn 2019 - General Discussion

Oneiric 3 · 13-09-2019 4:47pm

Last night was weirdly beautiful. Myself and friend of mine went for a short walk around the nearby countryside just after midnight and the combination of moonlight and patchy, shallow mist in the fields made for a surreal spectacle. Every so often we encountered some of this mist spilling out onto the road and when walking through them, you could really feel the change in temp. I've said it before, but I think Ireland is at its most beautiful under clear, bright moonlight. It is a different world altogether.

Blessed I am to share the beauty here; thank you.

Thank you. I caught a hint of this here, where we have a Dark Sky area. Only the harbpur and buoy lights...

Kutebride · 13-09-2019 11:40pm

Stunning sunset at Hill of Tara earlier this pm.

Rock Lesnar · 13-09-2019 11:50pm

Class night out there, clear sky, chilly enough breeze, and the moon lighting up the countryside

Graces7 · 14-09-2019 6:19am

Gale warning ( marine) for these waters up to force 8 today. Has been breezy all night and getting louder. Ah well! All is well. West Mayo offshore island

Was watching with astonishment the flooding on spainish news networks last night, just saw this in the papers this morning,it's seems some proper atlantic Irish misery seeped into the lower levels of the atmosphere, disturbing their warmth, there was some heavy rain in Barcelona last Tuesday. OK time to get to the beach, beautiful day in Barcelona, 28 degrees, clear sky.

despite the sun doesn't feel that warm. Tomorrow will be significantly colder again with low to mid teens in many places. It will warm up slightly again next week with mid to high teens in places. It's possible 20C could be reached in a few sheltered areas from breezes in good spells of sunshine next week.

Gonzo · 14-09-2019 3:42pm

tomorrow will see a very large temperature range across the country as much colder air sinks southwards.

Tomorrow afternoon could see temperatures struggle to reach past 9 or 10C in parts of the North and north west with low teens in most places. The far south holding on to warmer conditions where up to 20C is still possible.

Monday will be another chilly day with temperatures struggling to get much past 13 or 14C, a bit warmer in the far south.

arpegeuk-41-54-0.png?14-13

Tuesday see's an improvement in temperatures but still feeling cool, especially in the northern half of the country with mid teens, possibly high teens across the south.

What a day! :-)

Oneiric 3 · 14-09-2019 4:39pm

Fairly good agreement now on a good few dry days coming up after tomorrows blip. Seems the south will fair best overall. Meteograms for the 4 corners of Éireann (switches every 10 seconds or so)

Mobhi1 · 14-09-2019 4:46pm

Mostly clear and sunny here in Glasnevin. It just reached 21C, now starting to fall. It's now 20.7C.

MidMan25 · 14-09-2019 5:04pm

Stunning day in East Cork. Mid September days don’t get much better than this.

km79 · 14-09-2019 5:05pm

Cool to cold
Dull
Breezy

Normal service resumed

Donegal Storm · 14-09-2019 5:16pm

In London for the weekend where it's been warm and sunny all day, same again tomorrow and expecting up to 27C. Ground is like dust here with so much heat and lack of rain all summer.

Heard earlier that it's a miserable wet and windy day back home

iamwhoiam · 14-09-2019 5:49pm

Stunning day here in south Dublin , a real treat .

Meteorite58 · 14-09-2019 6:02pm

A September stunner. Got up to 18.8C out here near the coast in the breeze, car saying 21C around Tralee.

As good an Autumn day as you could ask for , made for walking in the woods.

Pic : Ballyseedy Woods , Tralee today.

Pretty much cloud free skies all day here in Wexford again today.

Kutebride · 14-09-2019 11:02pm

Sunny day Meath but on the cool side.
Sounds windy out there tonight
Is there much rain forecast tomorrow; ladies all-Ireland Croke Park.

Oscar Bravo · 15-09-2019 10:23am

Castlebar - dark and drizzly with poor vis. Rotten Sunday morning

pad199207 · 15-09-2019 10:25am

Very miserable morning in Kildare. I’ll let it off because I know it’s only a slight hiccup.

SleetAndSnow · 15-09-2019 10:33am

Was a gorgeous day yesterday in cork city and an amazing sunset too, currently down west for the weekend and it was really nice over the ocean!

Not as nice this morning though, back to grey skies.

Danno · 15-09-2019 12:17pm

Some sunshine getting through here in South Laois. Currently near 18c in a light to moderate westerly breeze. I see Mullingar is only 12c and Knock Airport is just 9c. Amazing contrast.

Gonzo · 15-09-2019 1:11pm

cold, wet, miserable day here in Meath. Current temperature only 11C.

you can see the temperature contrast very well, it's a very sudden drop, the line dividing the cold and wet condtions, with the more seasonal temperatures is slightly south of Galway to Dublin.

This should push further south through the day, but I don't think the far south will get the cold at any point. Temperatures should start to recover from tomorrow/Tuesday.

Oscar Bravo · 15-09-2019 2:23pm

2pm

Moore Park 20 degrees
Knock 10 degrees

Xenji · 15-09-2019 2:35pm

Over 15mm of rain now in Castlebar, we broke the 100mm mark for September early this year.

Wow. Only 14mm in Kildare

Naggdefy · 15-09-2019 2:51pm

The difference between north west and south east rainfall and temperature wise for a small island most summer/autumn's is amazing for a small country.

Driving low land south east Laois in sunshine and 22C in car. Always accurate to one degree from Met Stations.

Gonzo · 15-09-2019 3:16pm

very heavy drizzle here now, not a day to be outside at all. My father has put the heating on, he's really feeling the chill today.

Gorgeous day down here in Arklow again
Sunny spells
What an island we live on!

Oneiric 3 · 15-09-2019 3:35pm

The wind direction has swung around the the NE here which I wasn't expecting. Must be a shallow low passing somewhere south of here. If only it were winter, no doubt it would be snowing by now.

sparrowcar · 15-09-2019 3:41pm

Miserable day in Swords. Drizzle and rain all day so far. 12c

Ditto in Firhouse Dublin 24. I feel sorry for the Ladies final!

Gonzo · 15-09-2019 4:51pm

heavy rain for past hour, feeling bitterly cold too. Worst day here since June 12th with wet and cold combined.

Elmer Blooker · 15-09-2019 5:15pm

I wasn't expecting the front to be so active with pressure high and building but this is Ireland ........... whatever can go wrong WILL go wrong!

Danno · 15-09-2019 5:19pm

Can't believe the reports since my last post. Hit 21c here after, clouded over now and temperatures 18c here in South Laois

highdef · 15-09-2019 5:26pm

Light drizzle the past few hours in Trim, Meath

Cloudy here in Arklow now but very bright and feels muggy, was down in Ballymoney beach earlier and there were loads out for walks or swimming!
Car was reading 21c there which in fairness is probably around 19 in reality
AWS at home was near 18c most of today
It's still 17.3c here now and feeling warm by virtue of the fact there's not a breath of wind!
Btw I'm in a t shirt here out and about,not a bit of cold felt

Mortelaro · 15-09-2019 5:35pm

Darkness to the north now suggests the front is edging in
Hopefully some rain here too
Just 2.8mm recorded in September
Yes 2.8mm

Rock Lesnar · 15-09-2019 5:37pm

Wet drizzly and dark evening in my area of meath, doesnt feel to cold, good to have the sun back tomorrow

This is looking south from here,its still bone dry but you can see the encroaching darker cloud
Behind the tree is Tara hill NE of Gorey co wexford,that's blue sky over it which is retreating out to sea

Mortelaro · 15-09-2019 6:17pm

Rains arrived
Forgive me for saying its beautiful steady soft rain,badly wanted here
Its probably only going to be a mm or 2 but its something
It was also great to have most of the day so nice
Theres a farmers saying round here 'what we need now is a wet night or a wet Sunday '
We actually need a few of those but they can wait until December now tbh,and can be white too if they want to be

Donegal Storm · 15-09-2019 7:02pm

Such a huge contrast between Dublin and London today, 26C and cloudless skies when I left London this afternoon and grass all scorched white. Landed in Dublin to thick fog, rain, surface water everywhere and feeling cold enough for a winter jacket.

Elderly English couple sitting in front of me were incredulous as we landed

Rock Lesnar · 15-09-2019 7:10pm

Mrs Rock just switched the heating on, but the kids agreed with her and i lost the vote
