Autumn 2021 - General Discussion

Gorgeous photo above unfortunately wall to wall cloud here with heavy showers.

South Leitrim

Damp here in Castlebar with overcast skies. Quite miserable.

In general good day today in Meath was thinking by forecast a lot of rain, but very little. Enjoyed a family birthday this eve outside

Stone splitting sun the last few hours in North Wicklow.

It's a bed day with the air-con full blast for us - in mid-end September this is very worrying about how hot and dry Ireland is getting.

Not if you stand outside here, it feels like a nice June morning.

I rsspectfully disagree from my own location. Saying it's 13.1 shows your ignorance to how it feels standing outside in the sun as I can assure you it feels very hot here. In the house here it is stuffy and needs air conditioning. It's a matter of personal opinion of course as to what is acceptable and what isn't but to me the last few weeks in particular are unbearably sticky, humid and dry; and people who think it is acceptable need to read up on global warming.

I hope from here on in it will be nothing but unsettled. I'm not fussed about a cold winter or snow for that matter, but I really hope that Storm force 11 winds are a regular feature this winter along with copious amounts of rain, hail and thunder. I think we deserve a bit a life in the skies after what must have been the most prolonged period of boring, lifeless weather in decades.

A potential disaster of a winter in store for those who like cold spells.

The night time temperatures have been very noticeable. The lowest I've recorded so far is 10c. Usually by now would be a number of single digit figures even in August but not so this Yr.

Last August and September had plenty single digit minimum temperatures. At the end of last August temperatures for example feel as low as 5c at my location one night, certainly nothing like that this year.

Just don't think it bodes well at all.

If your house is stuffy, open the windows. To say your location is a unique hotspot that is unbearably hot today is just nonsense. The highest in the area has been 19 C. There is very nice warmth in the sunshine on the skin alright, but the air is not as hot as you seem to making out. I'm not sure how somewhere can be "sticky, humid and dry" at the same time? Which is it?

How does weather become "unacceptable"? Are you thinking of lodging a complaint about it?

Lovely weekend of weather in Bray which I wasn't expecting. Got sun-burnt today doing the last Hedge cut of the year. Air temp might not have broken the 20's but it was roasting with the sun hitting the skin with the house sheltering me from the Sea Breeze.

Similar in Galway. Temps about 17/18c but doing bits and bobs out the front all day, that sun was incredibly warm. Very much like an average April day except no nice coolness in the shade. Sunshine itself was nice though.
