    really?
    You know what I mean, it's only around this time of year that you can feel a chill in the mornings. Were you out at 8am this morning?

    Nice few days here in Tipp. Sat and sun were both nice August days. This morning was extremely foggy and by extension dark at 6am. Cloudy this evening. Definitley doesn't define the summer though which has been dull and mind.

    You must be back soon though.

    Personally I'm looking forward to the foggy season (usually around October/November). I have a strange love of fog.

    Can't wait to see the first frost too!

    same here, just after having a bbq. Will be having another tomorrow. May as well make use of what could be the last blast of warmth.

    I think tomorrow could be much cloudier than today tho, will be raining in the far west tomorrow too.

    I'm with you on that, I love the eerie atmosphere it creates.

    Unfortunately fog is very rare in my area. I'd say we've had more snow days than foggy days in the past 10 years.

    Fog is rare at my area but not as rare as snow and not like "very rare" standards either.

    2011 may have been my foggiest year I ever recorded with over half the days of March 2011 having foggy mornings here which gave away to very sunny conditions after each morning.

    I have recorded over 90 days of fog in the last 10 years, with more than 35% of them recorded in 2011. Whilst I have recorded around 40 days of snow in the last 10 years.

    My area is in Dublin, so are you pretty sure about your theory? It's ok to say yes due to regional variations.

    It's not a theory, just an observation from memory which is highly unscientific of course. I should have worded it differently to say "significant" or "memorable" fog vs. snow events.

    But yes, regional variations may also play a factor as I'm at the foothills of the Dublin mountains. I've noticed a few occasions where it is clear here while Dublin Airport and/or Casement is reporting fog. Sometimes it can be clear here and will get foggy as I commute into the city center.

    There is a definite chill in the mornings, I'm up at 7 and it has a nip to it that hasn't been around for a few months. There's a reason the ancient Irish considered this time of year to be Autumn!

    No more so than May really, only thing I've noticed is that its less bright every morning, which signifies autumn.

    Anyway the real autumnal weather will come the day before Autumn begins, Wednesday :)

    I'm up at 7 every morning and I don't remember a morning this "summer" that there hasn't been a nip. When I get off the train at Heuston at 8.45ish there has been a cold wind every morning this year. OK it hasn't been as harsh since April but the wind is still there. I wear a light down jacket to walk from the train station to work. Most other summers since 2012 haven't been as chilly and I was able to wear lighter jackets or sometimes none at all.
    On average the nip in the air never really went away this year.

    No sun all morning in West Clare.

    I also notice Met Eireann have changed the max temperatures from 24 possibly 25 down to 22 possibly 23.

    Did they not see all this cloud coming?

    max 22.3c and down to 21.7c at the moment.
    Thought it would have been warmer today but can't complain on the second last day of meteorological summer I s'pose.

    maxed out at 20C today during a 15 minute spell of sunshine. Most of the day has been 18-19C and cloudy. Very disappointing considering the forecast. The breeze also taking the edge of the temperatures.

    It got up to 19.2C in Castlebar today but felt a lot colder in a moderate NNE breeze, I must say it was one of the darkest afternoons we have had this summer and rain has pushed in now in the last hour.

    Rain now in West Clare. Sunny for about 10minutes earlier.

    I'm definitely in a southerly airflow but the wind was changing as the rain was pushing in to a more westerly airflow for tomorrow.

    much cooler in places from tomorrow and over the weekend, more like 16 and 17C's instead of 19C+. A definite feel of autumn especially over the weekend.

    next week looks warm again.

    Was sunny here all day, then around 6 the sky turned very dark, thought it was going to pour from the heavens, then the drizzle arrived. :rolleyes:

    New Moon
