What kind of weather station do you own?

Wow 4c , and Ballykelly weather station , the closest to coleraine only got to 7.6c last night!

Eoin , just because it was 4c in south Armagh doesn't mean it was 4c in coleraine by the coast , more like 10c!

Erm naw go f yourself, you got a shouten by jake 1 the other day you'd have think you'd have learned your lesson:mad: and anyway it actually got to 6c at ballykelly, and no it didn't get to 10c here and its already below that here, so stfu.:P and the last time i checked i lived in a valley on the edge of a hill so that cool air can float down and plus kilowen is right on the coast.

Look , i didn't get shouten by anybody? Now I know why you were banned. Am I wrong but are you frostyjoe over on netweather were you are always been proven wrong on your temp readings , wouldn't you have learned your lesson? Over there youve said your only at 38m asl and live 5 miles from the sea(not very favourable for low overnight mins at all).

Again I ask what type of weather station you use , if you don't awnser I presume you don't have one and that you just make up your readings in your head.

Bye bye summer welcome autumn, no more 20c anymore, a bit sad as i was expecting sunshine until this after noon but its pure cloudy and depressing, amazing how quick this can change.

Cloudy, 9c after a min of 7c, expecting about 15c max, which i will get all week.

The Bangor microclimate is well in operation here this morning - bright and sunny with high-level cirrus not thick enough yet to block the sun. Feels really warm as well at 17.3C :cool:

The weekend was just wonderful here with clear, blue skies and full sunshine both days - a reminder of what we've been missing this summer!

Rain has just started.

Noffles

Hazy but still warm and mild with very little breeze in Wexford

Autumn in Ireland usually starts a lot earlier than the seasons in Europe, Ive come to the conclusion that our seasons are as follows:
Winter: Nov, Dec, Jan
Spring: Feb, March, April
Summer: May, June, July
Autumn: August, Sept, Oct

After all the talk of heavy rain this morning, weve barely had any at all, mainly drizzle. Ive had a walk around town this morning and all i got was a bit damp. Very humid out though, 15.3c

WolfeIRE

16c here. dry so far. have somehow escaped the initial band of rain that is spreading eastwards. Rain seems to be less organised than I thought it would be. Northern parts look like they will see most of rain

fishmahboi

White cloud here 18c here

I think there may be a problem with the radar , it has been showing heavy rain here for an hour or so.

Although it remains completely dry here at the moment.

You should also check the 3 hour radar because according to the 3 hour radar that rainfall does not exist

jambofc

rain very light(odd spot here and there)not even wetting the ground,been watching the radar it should of been raining the last 2 hours here........

Currently raining really heavy drizzle in a really heavy mist, in little wind with a temp of 15c, what a contrast to yesterday when it was 24c ,now we are straight into autumn everyone was raging this morning planning b&qs and all.. absolutely drenched now nearly flooded.. so anyone who says the radar is wrong is talking ****!

M.T. Cranium

I'm sure they are not talking **** for their locations, the problem is that radar sometimes picks up virga, precip that does not reach the ground, and so the indication of rain reaching the surface is faulty although the radar itself is working fine. I think that's what happened in many parts of the south and even central counties, but the heavier bands of rain in the north don't appear much heavier than the virga does on radar.

"Hope that helps." (I'm sure you've seen that somewhere before)

John mac

rain, misty, rain ... all day..

owenc

Ok this is getting a bit bad now 14c , misty and still raining 12 hours later, you'd wonder when the hell that atlantic would stop!

Oscar Bravo

Rain/drizzle in Castlebar all day.mild,little wind.Low cloud on the hills etc etc,some difference from yesterday!

fishmahboi

Rains pretty moderate on my end.
I am chancing that rain may get a little bit lighter though

Far from completely dry in Sligo 16mm of rain thus far bringing the monthly total to 55mm. This is now running above normal :eek::eek::eek:. Ah no theres no need to panic just a really wet dark day and the temperature only got to 15

Dry at the minute with some breaks in the cloud. Not sure how long that will last though!

snowjon

The clouds have broken here and it's now sunny after a very wet night!
