Buy a good jumper and you'll be sound.
Its great autumn weather here, no complaints, ground has dried out, can leave the cattle out for another while, the range of colours about is brilliant, lovely morning and evening skies, I can sit out on the patio, albeit with a wooly on, something I couldn't manage for most of the summer.
Welcome home btw.

Only Shame is the evenings getting shorter to get much done after work
But it's bliss to me

Hard to get work done too with all the Snow that's coming

I'll be quiet now

This weather would be fine if it wasn't so fecking windy. Looks set to calm down a bit over the weekend, which is great, but I hate cycling with tears streaming out of me eyes because of the cold wind!

A beauty of a sunset tonight.

Lovely sunny morning here, its great to be out.
I have 2 fields of overgrown pasture, 8 acres, I think I m going to cut and bale it today and tomoro.

nice to be able to come back home to dry weather and not as cold as I was expecting.

Eamondomc

Welcome home, hope the hols were good.

Despite the deceiving rainfall radar, there's absolutely no precipitation here in West Clare, it's been completely dry here since Tuesday.

Xenji

Dull and wet in Castlebar after a pleasant albeit windy last two days.

Spoke too soon, a thick drizzle just arrived and departed, making everything damp.
Looks good for later though.

Heavy drizzle has set in in south Connemara too. Had just taken all the tools out for outdoor work as I was expecting a dry day.! Ah well, vacuuming it is so.

Edit: gone from drizzle to proper rain now.

JCX BXC

Rain quite heavy here, went for a cycle about an hour ago and now stuck in a shop, because I cannot cycle back.

No idea when it'll stop either.

woke up this morning, surprised to see the wet ground,charts now indicating that the bone dry conditions particularly in the west for the next week to 10 days is starting to go down the tubes...

The rain band looks like it has not moved in the last 3 hours, it has literally just been stalled in a small line from Kerry up to Sligo.

Same in east Galway
Better than any day we got from early July on

Beautiful warm evening and so calm there isn't even a leaf moving

Cloudy here in wexford all day today and threatened to rain a few times.

There was rain here from about 2.30pm yesterday and all afternoon and evening.
The electricity gave a flicker at 8 and flickered a few times after and then finally went at 10.30 for an hour.
Found out this morning that a neighbour had 2 cattle struck with lightning about a half mile away. It must of happened at 8 and I guess it came down an esb pole.
The esb seemingly were out fixing the fault last night.
I never heard the thunder but I do remember heavy rain at that time.

Anyway I was looking at the record of strikes yesterday on blitzortung.org and there was no account of the strike. I know not every strike shows up but you wouldn't want to be an insurance assessor relying on it for the gospel.:p

Haven't seen graupel in months, usually at this time of year it starts to re-emerge.

Xenji

Very thick fog currently in Castlebar.

Lumi

Ditto in Galway city; heavy fog and utterly calm

Oscar Bravo

Just 50 meters visibility at knock airport currently.

Eamondomc

Light cloud cover here in Longford, hazy, but no sign of any fog or mist in my view and being on high ground I can see in to Cavan, leitrim, and Roscommon from here and up the fields Fermanagh as well.
We've had no rain in over a week here and with good drying at times outside conditions are excellent for the time of year.
A good autumn so far.

About a half hour later we had a light shower, but its cleared up again.

ronnie3585

Very foggy in Galway city, no real sigh of lifting.

Not surprised re the heavy shower as looking inland here all day yesterday you could see wavy dark clouds over the Wicklow mtns and south towards Mt Leinster in your direction
Coastal north Wexford and certainly my area had no showers btw and was quite sunny in the afternoon,I was sweating!
The usual convergence zone saw activity

Meteorite58

Stunner of a day here near Tralee getting up to 18.2C in calm conditions .

Dull till about 3 pm then brightened up in east Galway
Really enjoying this dry spell
Perfect to get final gardening jobs done before retiring for the winter

Noticeable difference between the RTE Met Eireann forecast for the end of the week and BBC countryfile

Gerry Murphy has the low pressure fronts and rain slap bang on top of Ireland
The BBC has them over the south of England with All of Ireland escaping
There was no talk of uncertainty by either

Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
