I was out to the back ocean-side field after berries and it is what they used to call "bracing" in the Yorkshire seaside hotel adverts

OH the sun has just emerged! And there it goes again!

Gonzo

lots of sunshine today and feeling fairly pleasant but it is alot cooler than yesterday by about 6C, now why couldn't the sun shine yesterday when we had warm uppers!

Thats what usually happens here the cloud and rain arrives with the warm air and then the sun comes out when the cooler air arrives...by the weekend/next week might be different though might get some sun and warm air together

We had very light grass frost in a very sheltered spot that is prone to it out here a while ago; I did record it here.

Wow. Didn't think we had one already especially where you are by the sea. I'm looking forward to the first.

if the ECM and GEM are correct next week looks very mild indeed with temperatures hitting 20C for much of the week. GFS going for a cooler and more unsettled Atlantic dominated outlook after Monday. The big question is will we see any sunshine during these warm uppers or wil we be covered in a thick blanket of low hanging cloud and mist yet again while the UK basks in September heatwave conditions.

If I remember correctly we did have a warm dry sunny week or so in mid September 2019 before the autumn really set in so hopefully we will get something similar this year.

Degeneration into wild.... wet....windy. But mild

Mostly overcast with occasional brief glimpses of sun here in south Dublin. Dry and not too windy, could be worse.

Hope they’re right and that the GFS is way off. They are disagreeing a lot the last few months.

This is quickly turning into another extremely cloudy month, endless grey skies once again today with occasional drizzle

Drove to west cork on tuesday with some friends again since we had a shocking July time down there weather wise, and too my shock it was once again drizzling down there while it was dry in the city. Luckily the next day was warm ifnot verm warm and nearly clear skies so totally made up for it as did today, though cloudy, it was dry and warm

My thoughts exactly, and in some ways, it is even worse. No sunlight, no starlight, no moonlight; just endless low cloud, the odd spit and worst of all, that endless humid warmth that just will not **** off. Last night we were promised a clear, crisp coolish night with temps going down to about 7c. Instead, the cloud persisted throughout with temps not falling below 11c. Ten days into September now and not one night has seen a single figure min here. This is completely abnormal by any measure and no sign of any relent in this God awful pattern at all.

After a generally dry day a touch of mist at times nothing to much .
Tonight is a very cold night . Temps are reading 11c but feels much chiller than that . Cold light breeze and dry at present . Rain is due as we arrive into Friday morning .
Weekend in general will be unsettled at times . Daytime values will rise a little bit also .

The wind is wild, nearing a gale, buffeting all the long night. West Mayo offshore

Another localized heavy rain situation may develop this morning in the vicinity of Westport, or a little further north than the Clifden event. Not to say this will be as severe but keep an eye on local streams and radar if in the general path of this frontal wave which is heading for north central Mayo and Sligo.

I hear it on my roof and windows.. Thankfully the ocean takes the run off where we are.

Deluging. Needless to say I am not going berry picking!

Rotten morning here just east of Castlebar. Heavy rain has set in here.

Thelonious Monk

Usual cloudy morning here in Dublin. At least it's kind of a brighter cloudy. Sunday looks like blue skies and sunshine and 20c or so for the day, although it'll probably end up being cloudy. If it's actually sunny I'm going to lie outside all day and soak up as much as I can, I doubt we'll be seeing the likes again until next year.

Nice sunny morning here it’s autumnal but it’s bright it’s dry and it’s sunny which is a massive improvement on our “summer”.

There are no words; there really are none.

Nonstop deluges and the air tastes wet.

Fire lit. Self defence.

Dire! And not often I say that.

WET Mayo

Windy last night and this morning and raining for the last hour. Serious rain.
Awful. Relentless
