Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

Bucketing down in Dublin, welcome September!

Looking at it, can see high pressure is trying to return quickly after being shoved eastwards by the tropical activity in the Atlantic but is being put under pressure via deepening cyclone near Iceland. Probably need stronger influence from drivers for that high to override the impending autumn in the North Atlantic.

The stratospheric polar vortex is developing at this time of year but it tends to not see effect to a significant extent until November at earliest.

Got to love September uncertainty with tropical cyclones at their peak. Always a classic.

What's the highest ever September temperature? 28c? Could be 26c next week.

However a disappointingly cloudy weekend in the West and North 21c is OK but stubborn cloud that takes till evening to lift will be our lot.

Further South and East you'll get 22c or 23c and sun.

Then of course as new week starts sunny everywhere and 25c. Itl break on Wednesday though South might see reasonable weather at times during the month. High is closer to us than in Summer as is normal.

So apart from weekends(tongue in cheek) weather will be fair. This weekend will be dry everywhere though just cloudy in Connaught and Ulster.

Only 15 hours in to autumn, and it's nice to have some heat which has been sadly missing over the past 2 months.

Thought it was going to be a lovely evening for a game of golf.....

Currently sitting in my car beside the 1st tee and its p1ssing down here in Offaly.

Kerry achieved 28.4C in 1991. Unusually that was also the highest temp of 1991 and it occurred at Valentia of all places.

Now that summer is over it has finally decided to arrive...its as bad as when spring starts winter arrives...this is our upside down backward weather and theres no point blaming climate change because this is how our weather is and always has been as far as we know 🙃

Some really unusual cloudscapes this evening in SW Laois and I spotted what I think was the beginnings of a funnel cloud (no camera sadly). It never rained in my location, but the showers really got going West of me. Looking forward to the bit of heat next Mon/Tue

A lot of cloud about this morning, should lift and burn off. Donegal Airport doing well though, clear skies and 17 degrees at 10am

Despite the relatively cool morning I get a feeling this September may challenge 2021 for warmth. Again like July and August nothing exceptional but constant warmer than average temperatures. Prob 1c by day overall but 2 to 3c by night. Coupled with some very warm spells it certainly won't be a cool September. IMT could be very high.

Early days of course but whereas some September's it's 13c this year it will be nearer 20c most days.

With Sea Temperatures very warm nights below 7 or 8c will be rare.

Sunny, blue skies, little cloudy around and warm in west cork! Hopefully working it's way up the country to ye

Sun is shining in Kildare now after a very foggy start

Why don't you want the warmth to continue for the month?

But most of meteorological summer was quite grim, often breezy, often wet and very rarely warm.

Why on earth would you not embrace this pleasent weather that has literally just begun? Already I'm seeing lots of people out and about. People are smiling, people are laughing, people are enjoying social activities outdoors and getting outdoor chores done in pleasant weather. It's bliss outside in most places today and for the short term. I'm getting a new roof on the house very soon and this weather will make it a far nicer job. I've about 3 acres of lawn to mow this weekend. I've not been able to mow it for months due to wet weather every single weekend.

I absolutely cannot understand why you are pissed off with the forecast of pleasant weather. I really am perplexed.

Turned in to a nice sunny day. Stubborn cloud for some.

Summer had its chance, its time for autumn.

So pleasant. Really enjoyable on the patio in quiet a while. Lots of lawnmowers going.

Felt a nice bit of heat while jogging, little or no breeze out there either. Looking forward to my weed walk tonight hopefully it'll be a relatively clear evening.

sunny all day then just as Im about to go for a walk, a sudden mist, in Sutton :/
