Autumn Weather 2016 - General Discussion

JCX BXC

-7c in Glasgow at 23:20, ow. That's amazingly low.

By comparison its +7c in Birmingham.

Casement +7 and cloudy, Markree -4 and presumably crystal clear. It sure is a strange spell.

I was looking at temperatures around Europe a few minutes ago.
Right now Dublin is warmer than Madrid and the west of Ireland is colder than Moscow! It sure is a strange spell!

pauldry

Why is Markee always the coldest ?

I've had lying snow for a full week now, mostly gone from the driveway but the lawns are still pure white, its crispy hard now and cracks when you walk on it. did not expect it to last this long, had a high of 9.9C today and didn't melt anything. I am really enjoying this dry weather and long may it continue.

Currently 1.8C. but has been fluctuating wildly all evening between 2.2 and -0.8

nagdefy

Markree at -5C at 12am. Could get -7C alright.

I remember -7C in 1988 in Kilkenny being a record up to 2010 so that puts it in perspective.

I don't know, but it is in a low lying river valley.

It used to have an Observatory in the 19th century but was abandoned due to the lack of clear nights :pac:

During a high pressure system, we usually get an easterly airflow. The water over the Irish sea warms the cold continental airflow, but it cools down as it passes over land due to the lack of solar radiation at night. Markree looks to be surrounded by hills to the west, north and east, so they probably protect it from any warming effect the nearby Atlantic ocean may bring.

During a heatwave in the Summer, the inland northwest often gets the highest temperatures because it's better protected from onshore breezes.

JCX BXC

-4.2c, dense freezing fog, and the hardest freeze since 2010 is outside. There's a coating of ice on everything. Roads are probably treacherous out, will update later. West Clare.

Only -1c at Shannon, 0c at Cork and +1 at knock. Then +7 at Dublin.

Eamondomc

-2 here in Longford now, foggy in patches but not severely dense, side roads are treacherous.
There is a bite to the cold.

Darwin

Crazy swings in temperature this morning, +3 leaving home (Laois) to -3 just 5km out the road and then like that all the way to work - fog banks causing temps to dip significantly. Roads seemed to have been gritted thankfully.

Gonzo

no frost here this morning, stayed over 3C all night. Currently -7 in Sligo. Very unusual.

As others have said it has been a crazy spell of temps we have been getting. Such huge variations in relative short distances.
11am temp here in Waterford City 1.8c with sunshine and 8c just across the border into Wexford. Most of the East 8c too.

Leaving the house this morning (in north Kildare, near Enfield), it was -0.5. Car was covered in ice and frost. Beginning the drive, car was reading 0c. Fields were frosty. About a kilometre later, no frost and car thermometer was reading 6c. By the time I joined junction 8 on the M4, it was 8c and from Lucan onwards it was reading 9c!

Nobody in work believed me when I said there was a heavy frost at home.

Warm and cold air inversion at night and no mixing going on.
The east of Ireland is not affected like the rest of Ireland is.
Basically ye are in your own cold air bubble as soon as the sun goes down.

Check out that warm layer between 215m and 1550m on the Valentia Observatory Tephigram from last night and the cool air underneath and also look at the wind speed.:)

'Moderate snow' in the 4pm report for Finner, Donegal - although that can sometimes be confused with fog apparently...

Oscar Bravo

a beautiful sky to end the day here in Castlebar at just 1 degree currently

JCX BXC

Max of 3.6c and overnight min of -4.6c here in West Clare, currently 2.2c and foggy.

Harry Palmr

The charts are set fair for HP for the next two weeks or so. The Met UK/BBC forecast last night noted the models were split - but only on whether the HP would be north or south of the Jet Stream - it appears as of now that the pressure will stay on the warmer side.

No snow here a couple of miles north of Finner, crystal clear skies as the sun went down but you could see this rolling carpet of fog coming from inland seeping towards the shoreline, mad looking!

pauldry

-2c in Ballyhaise at 1700 n fog thinning
Will they threaten Markrees -7c?

Footpaths still have frost from today and yesterday. Some very white paths in our estate that sun didnt shine on
