Wow. Only 14mm in Kildare

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.

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!

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.

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

Our first fire of the season is lit.

appledrop · 15-09-2019 7:24pm

It was a weekend of two halfs. Glorious yesterday in Dublin. We spent the day in park in tshirts and it was gorgeous for the time of year.

Today is miserable in North County Dublin. 12 degrees. Everyone out in raincoats + shoes/boots. Apart from few people caught out + still dressed for yesterdays weather.

On the plus side could go to shops + not be worried about wasting a nice day indoors!

Tigerandahalf · 15-09-2019 7:48pm

What ways were crops in the south east this year as there seemed to be very little rain there?

I didn't hear anyone complain. There was just enough rain at the right time.
No rain again today but looking North from Mt Leinster you could see it headed West to East into Dublin from the Midlands.

Danno · 15-09-2019 7:52pm

Vegetable crops were irrigated

Yeah looked like S Wexford was the place to be again!

Murky drizzly weather in Kildare with a few heavy bursts of light rain if ya know what I mean.

Danno · 15-09-2019 7:54pm

Still dry in South Laois but temperatures are dropping. 16.6c and a bit breezy.

August was a wet month with 122mm at my Waterford station but September has just 8.7mm so far so overall a wet August has helped the farmers.

Cantona's Collars · 15-09-2019 8:05pm

The forecast on Country file a few minutes ago is very promising up until next Sunday at least as high pressure builds and builds over us. By Friday we'll see continental air coming up and rising temps by a few degrees.

Tigerandahalf · 15-09-2019 11:17pm

Farmers in the west, even with good land, must be feeling the pinch as August was a washout and this month has been wet and quite cool too.
I guess a lot of silage and hay was saved this summer. I noticed a few fields with grass mowed down over the last few days.

If I was to retire anywhere in Ireland for decent weather it would have to be the waterford/wexford area. So many days when I look at the satellite pictures and the country is covered in cloud except those areas. You don't need huge warmth, just the clear skies is a great bonus.

Then again it was 26c in the London area today.
Someone said earlier it was 10c in Knock.

Next week is looking promising so hopefully the forecast gives us some bit of sunshine and warmth before autumn truly kicks in.
