Deep peaceful silence out here... a slender moon lying on its back contemplating space..... tiny far away stars winking..... not a sound or a whisper as the world sleeps. Bliss... west mayo offshore

I heard forecasts recently saying that this week will feel 'autumnal' I only wish June and the first half of August were as warm and pleasant as today!
19.5c and good sunny spells and obviously feeling a LOT warmer in the sun.
23mm since the dry spell ended on Sat.

Certainly doesn't feel 'autumnal' here. Humidty well into the 90s for over 24hrs now, high Td's and low hanging drizzle clouds with zero drying. Hard to believe we had summer like deep blues only a few days ago!

Donegal Storm

Nice day in Letterkenny, warm and calm with plenty of sunshine, far more summery than most days in the actual summer!

not a nice day here in Meath, plenty of heavy showers today and ground still very much wet. Our road is now starting to get covered with leaves, Autumn is well and truly getting going here.

tomorrow to Sunday looks horrific

Weather in Cork City is a real mix, one of those days where you need about 20 different outfits. Heavy showers bring along some cold winds, but the sun came out earlier and was warm!

Probably way to early to tell... but flying from Dublin to London and London to New York on Sunday ...some saying we could be looking at wind warnings over the weekend. Would these be significant enough to cause flight issues.
I have to be the unluckiest person when it comes to travel and the weather...

got the lawn cut Saturday morning. Not a hope of our lawn being cut for a while now, pure squelch in our garden with so much rain over past 3 days.

Our garden was squelchy in 1 place which was not as bad as i taught considering the amount of rain we got since saturday, guessing because it slopes away is the reason it was dry enough to cut

A deeply peaceful night. Utter silence after some heavy showers and low cloud now. Never saw darkness as it is out here in cloudy nights. Like being blind. west mayo offshore

ground is finally starting to dry out a bit now, however I don't think this dryness is going to last very long! A mild, cloudy day here so far.

With solar radiation rapidly diminishing now, so too do evaporation rates. We're moving into that time of the year when one good deluge of rain can take days to recede. In about a months time, we'll have reached the stage where the ground just doesn't dry out completely unless we get an exceptionally long dry spell.

Roads and paths nearly dry in cork city now but it's meant to rain again later apperantly. Mild, cloudy day here too and also feels quite humid!

Sun is out after a cloudy and misty morning, mower is at the ready, although the bbc forecast tomorrow for us has showers from the west dying out before reaching the east coast so might get the lawns cut tomorrow if not today.

Edit: just watched ME's forecast for the next few days, after the news, there will be Sunny spells that could feel warm, showers that could merge into longer spells of rain, might be a risk of thunder to, some heavy rain at times, and feeling fresher.

There was some nice sunshine here for a while a short while ago. It's all overcast now. The temperature reached 18.3C. It's falling back now. Currently 17.9C.

A momentous day for ME. John the Eagle Eagleton has just given his final weather forecast on RTE before his retirement. I am quite sure many tears will be shed here.

We've just had a burst of heavyish rain here. It has died off now. There was nothing recorded.

This. And add those remaining ghastly orange streetlights shining on it during the longer dark hours would drive one to a dark room with a bottle of whisky...

Had a trip out west today. Geez, Galway is one damp county. Drove from the city to Tooreen and crossed some low lying hills on the N83 coming into Clonfad and it was like someone flicked a switch. Roads dry and some bright/sunny spells. Checked the radar and there was nothing in the Galway region, yet moderate drizzle all along the N83 to the Roscommon border.

Meanwhile, a drop of rain pushed through here in South Laois just now. 0.6mm and that looks like being the most of it.

Not long left for the remaining orange ones.I find the LED's are much better for driving, light up the road and little light escaping upwards.
