not too bad in Meath, fairly cloudly but when the sun comes out it does feel quite warm compared to recently.

SleetAndSnow · 06-09-2020 1:04pm

Overcast this morning in cork city with some showers about, different then yesterday. About 17 degrees though

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.

Sunny warm enjoyable afternoon Meath

Same in wexford, it was very nice today.

Meteorite58 · 06-09-2020 8:06pm

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..

West Mayo offshore

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.

daniel_t1409 · 07-09-2020 9:51am

Damp and dull here this morning. Last few days have been nice though.

Same around North Laois. Around 6am. Went on for over an hour. Really intense.

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.

sryanbruen · 07-09-2020 12:05pm

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.

Jpmarn · 07-09-2020 4:25pm

It looks like there is some more warm weather ahead of us over the coming days and weeks.

Thelonious Monk · 07-09-2020 4:26pm

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.

Artane2002 · 07-09-2020 6:48pm

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

It was breezy and grey slate cloud all day long. It still is!

Oscar Bravo · 07-09-2020 8:50pm

A dark wet evening here in Castlebar with heavy drizzle,low cloud ,fog etc. Miserable.

Found it a standard summer 2020 sort of day... cloud, cloud, cloud.

Clear skies this evening in wexford

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.

appledrop · 07-09-2020 10:32pm

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.

SleetAndSnow · 07-09-2020 11:04pm

17/18 degrees this evening in cork city, very strange but pleasant!

Graces7 · 08-09-2020 5:24am

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.

Clonmel1000 · 08-09-2020 10:09am

Wet start early here it’s dried up now and there’s a milky sun out and it’s lovely and mild in fairness.

It's been raining as good as consistently since late Sunday night.

Thelonious Monk · 08-09-2020 11:10am

Greeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyy in Dublin yet again. Non stop bloody grey. Sunday looks like it could be a cracker if it doesn't change by then.

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.
