    It's supposed to be dry in the west all this week I'm shocked, shocked I tell ye, at that forecast.


    It's been relatively dry the last 2 weeks apart from the odd shower.

    Yesterday was the only sunny day though, back to overcast today.

    Nice autumn day today. Sun is out, bone dry, around 16. Feels a little warmer in direct sunlight.

    Beautiful day here today. Drove down to East Cork around Roche's point, inch beach and on to Ballycotton. Clear blue skies nice and warm.

    After a gloomy start it turned in to a lovely sunny afternoon here (16C); if the sky stays clear and it stays calm we could have an interesting low tonight.

    But I bet the cloud returns and the low is around 10C.

    Persistent cloud here in west clare, there was a brief sunny spell for 5 minutes in a random break in the clouds (like a blanket with 1 single hole in it) which brought the temp up to 18.7. Rapidly fell since then and it now at 14.3, maybe this evening it'll clear?

    Cloud cover over the last 3 hours. Really stagnant over Ireland as it pivots under an upper and lower ridge. Think we might have a better chance of some general sunny breaks in the west as winds back more easterly over the next couple of days. But I'd not hold my breath either.

    Storm alert.
    Just putting out an alert for a possible 2 wind storm events for next week. GFS models viewable on netweather.tv has drawn up a possible for next Tuesday the 15th and another one for Friday 19th. It looks like the weather will slowly deteriorate from this Thursday onwards. Wednesday 16th look generally fair with temperatures mid teens at best.

    I found a strange quirk of this summer to be the near constant night time temperatures, have had the windows open at night for the last 3 or so months, even now it is still the same, it actually has felt warmer at night than most days.

    Say that to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina 10 years on pal. I lost a pet turtle to a storm in 1994 here in Ireland as well. It's not all fun for everyone. Mother nature can be unforgiving and I hope you are never on the receiving end of its destructive propensity.

    Tonight/this morning is rather cold in many rural areas where skies have cleared. Temp leaving home in a rural area under clear skies was 5.7c, car was displaying 6c and mist was thickening to fog. By the time I arrived in Dublin about a half hour later, the car was displaying 14c, it was cloudy and it felt quite mild when I stepped out of the car.

    And even 20c now in Athenry according to met.ie
    I never thought I'd see 20c again after the cold days we had lately.

    The lowest it got down to in Castlebar was 10.6C, clear nights have been few and far between, it briefly topped 20C today which has also be a very rare occurrence the last 4 months.

    The temperature inversion now seems to be covering most of the UK:

    Cloudless in Bray all day long and 20ºc. Got the final cut of the year done on the privet hedge and found the energy to do the last Homemade Burgers on the BBQ for the year too. I'm wrecked but there was no way I was letting a day like today go to waste. Probably got the last bit of sunburn of the year too. :D

    12Z ECM now showing the remains of Tropical Depression 8 (soon to be Henri) undergoing bombogenesis approaching the southwest coast. A couple of the lesser models have been hinting at this but now that the ECM is showing it, it has to be taken as a possibility. Still very much FI though.
