How is this a bad thing? I'm fuming over the last 9 weeks but by no means would I be saying " I bloody hope September doesn't be a warm dry month" that's just me and about 90% of the population, I ain't bullying you but I just don't understand your statement it's extraordinary, also you can't just expect 31st August to be mid 20s sun splitting the rocks to September 1st being 15c leaves falling off the trees, that's not how the seasons work pet

Today was absolutely beautiful (in Kilkenny and south east at least). Prob the best of what July august had to offer. Really calm bright settled and warm

Dazler97 · 02-09-2023 6:50pm

At the this time of year we often do get the extension of the summer heat into and up until end of September it's from then on the sun looses it's heat etc, just picture it this way if it where March into April it usually takes longer to get the heat as winter tends to hold its grip till mid April it's only from then on it gets warmer as the sun increases in strength 💪

Today was absolutely wonderful in my sheltered back garden close to Tralee town. Spent the day sunning myself, took too much sun but I really don't care. Was able to do everything outdoors all day up to about to 6.30 PM. Lunch on the patio, coffee in the shade, pets chasing butterflies and frolicking around in the grass, so lovely to share a sunny day with them as last time was way back in June. Great too after a hard week's work to be able to throw on the shorts and chill in your own garden, something 9 to 5rs of Ireland have sorely missed on weekends this past two months. Many of us got away to sunny climes for our vitamin D, but there is something so very special in getting it right on your own backyard. Here's hoping for another cracker tomorrow! Pauldry was very optimistic in a recent post about this September, temperature wise, and I so hope he's right. I neither want nor expect blazing sun every day, but to have a warm September to be able to stick to the summer clothes and leave the heating off at nights would be just glorious imo. Fingers crossed folks!

Well after the crap start to the day turned into a cracker.

Only downside of getting such nice weather in Sept, is you don't get the long evenings, sun is gone in our garden by 7 at this time of year.

sryanbruen · 02-09-2023 8:21pm

That was a grand auld September day. Some lovely warm sunshine and a nice inversion to end it with a red sky. More days like this please.

I don't mind so much early September and today was a nice day. More so later in the month I like to get into the autumn mood. 🍂

02-09-2023 8:59pm

Working in the fields from 11am to 7pm, Laois. Hour for lunch, so got almost 7 hours of sun and very sunburnt! Not complaining!

I respect Bill Carson's opinion but prefer a summery September myself. Just shortens the winter a bit. And after July and August i think it's needed this year to cheer us up.

Oh don't worry the way the year is flying in it will be here in no time 😀

igCorcaigh · 02-09-2023 10:37pm

Looking forward to some nice atmospheric fog tonight (Yellow fog warning, could be a pea souper 😁)... hoping it will still be there by early morning!

I LOVE a dense fog, one of my favourite types of weather. :)

.Donegal. · 02-09-2023 11:09pm

Maybe a tad optimistic but I’ll go with a high of 27/28c somewhere with this upcoming spell.

I'd agree. Some very warm air coming over us. A daily build of max temps. Just need decent sunshine for a 7 September 2021.

You got your wish and i actually like fog as well :) , There's a yellow warning ⚠️ for fog in Leinster and munster from 00:00 till 10am but it may linger for longer in local spots

DOCARCH · 03-09-2023 5:43am

Good morning from Greystones. Starting to feel like the summer we never had!

pad199207 · 03-09-2023 7:16am

Fine start this morning in Kildare with good sunshine.

appledrop · 03-09-2023 8:04am

Beautiful blue skies this morning in NCD, its going to be a good one!

SuperBowserWorld · 03-09-2023 8:10am

Can confirm, the sun is in the sky. And the sky is blue. And it's warm. North Wicklow. Woo hoo. 👍

I love fog over snow fields.

OldRio · 03-09-2023 8:27am

Complete cloud cover this morning after a cloudy day yesterday. 13C.

road_high · 03-09-2023 8:33am

Delighted with this start to September. Here’s to a long spell of beautiful weather

PokeHerKing · 03-09-2023 8:57am

Glorious in D24. Sausages sandwich off the BBQ and a coffee out the back in the sunshine.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121061998#Comment_121061998

Hard to know if we'll see highs reaching those figures, there is alot of moisture in the ground which will take a fair bit of the sun's work to dry out.

Darwin · 03-09-2023 9:18am

Completely foggy still in SW Laois, sun will probably appear again around noon like yesterday.

Kutebride · 03-09-2023 9:38am

Jealous. Foggy morning Meath. Still not great with cloud cover. Hope see blue skies shortly but no inkling yet. Can see on radar we so close between cloud cover and clear skies.

esposito · 03-09-2023 9:58am

Glorious morning in Dublin. Gin blue sky.

Looks like we will get warmer as the week goes on. 25/26 maybe even 27 in some spots.

Hairypoppins · 03-09-2023 9:59am

Stunning start to the day in west Dublin blue skies and 🌞

Gonzo · 03-09-2023 10:03am

This week has potential to be warmer than any week in June for some eastern areas which didn't get a 7 day straight period of 22C+ every single day, this could happen this week with temperatures of at least 22 or 23C throughout the next week.

Robwindstorm · 03-09-2023 10:35am

Still very gloomy here in North Meath after a foggy morning. Very cool breeze too, but it is expected to clear soon and can blow up to great day yet!

pad199207 · 03-09-2023 10:47am

20°c in Kildare under fine blue skies with just some scattered clouds

nacho libre · 03-09-2023 10:50am

The mention of showers in places from Tuesday by Met Eireann. So while it will stay warm this week it won't be dry everywhere for four or five days, which previously it looked like it might be.

Ditto in Longford. Very cloudy, a few tiny bits of blue. Quite breezy too. For some reason, I'd expected a fairly calm day.

Gonzo · 03-09-2023 10:56am

Sun starting to break through nicely here now at Dunshaughlin and it's fairly warm if a bit breezy. A better weekend here in Ireland than in the south of Spain where they are having a cool and wet weekend.

pauldry · 03-09-2023 11:29am

This will be the warmest September on record coupled with warmest June on record.

A bit early to say that.

mcburns07 · 03-09-2023 11:48am

Feels very warm in Cork with the clear blue skies and sun blazing, 21 degrees, glorious.

Hippodrome Song Owl · 03-09-2023 11:48am

Pleasant enough in Lucan. Some cloud still lingering. The breeze is taking away from the warmth. My grass is still too damp to cut following the misty overnight conditions.

03-09-2023 12:37pm

September 2021 was exceptional. The amount of 15-16c nights well into the second half of the month, when evenings and nights generally cool down, was amazing. The last Saturday of the month, around 25 September hit 23c widely.

We need a serious September to top it. We may end up with a 1991 version, very warm first half, cooler second half.

Clouds have all disappeared now in Lucan. It's gorgeous in the garden with the light breeze. Soaking up the sun at the moment with a coffee at my elbow and so happy I got all the household jobs done yesterday so I can enjoy the weather listening to the sport on the radio. Bliss

Kutebride · 03-09-2023 2:00pm

Sun out at last. 21⁰ Meath

DOCARCH · 03-09-2023 2:04pm

22.8c atm in Greystones. Glorious day.

Greystones today (from Bray Head).

appledrop · 03-09-2023 2:05pm

I can officially confirm that the weather in NCD is scorchio and has been since 11am this morning!

Hippodrome Song Owl · 03-09-2023 2:19pm

Clouds have disappeared in Lucan, but I don't feel any heat. Lovely blue skies. Grass is still wet.

.Donegal. · 03-09-2023 2:44pm

3pm Phoenix Park the hot spot 24c

Dazler97 · 03-09-2023 3:55pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121062420#Comment_121062420

Yes I love that as well

Dazler97 · 03-09-2023 3:55pm

Sunny everywhere else bar here 20c 😞

acequion · 03-09-2023 7:20pm

Glorious day in Tralee, in my lovely sheltered back garden anyway. No idea of temps but I was able to sunbathe and do everything outdoors in the skimpiest of summer clothes from about 10am until about 5.30pm. A bit cloudy this morning and chilly from 5.30 on but no complaints at all. The afternoon got sunnier all the way and gin blue skies for a finish. Very clear now at 8pm. Loving it!😀

Gonzo · 03-09-2023 7:29pm

This spell of weather is going to surpass the June warm spell in eastern areas. Met Eireann are going for 22C tomorrow and Tuesday and then 25C on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and 24C next Saturday and Sunday for my location. The June warm spell certainly did not deliver a week of consistent close to mid 20s temperatures like that in Meath. In fact I haven't had a 25C at all this year and now we may get 3 of them this week. Of course all this will depend on cloud cover and how early the sun can burn off the clouds.
