Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

Isn't it horrible how when the high pressure departs the Atlantic muck rolls right back in. No transition, no soft landing, nothing. But it's actually the same when the high pressure arrives. It started on a Saturday and was magical from the moment it came. But the previous day, Friday, was manky in Tralee. Just as today, the first day of normal service, was also poor. Just drizzly and depressing all day. Not cold though. I'm still wearing summer dresses and hoping to keep wearing them for another while, albeit with cardigans and light jackets. Nothing depresses me more than seeing people clad in boots, heavy jackets and dull colours in summer and autumn. I'll happily suffer being a little cold to wear my lighter clothes, it lifts my mood.

Last week was just so wonderful, nostalgic for it already.

Chilly in Sligo tonight . Only 7c. Will prob dip to 4c

I see in Britain its 2c in Scotland but 20c in London

Stunning morning, sun rising above a misty Loch. A cold chill in the air. 6C.

Leitrim.

Autumn has arrived! Stunning day with a lovely crisp breeze but not freezing either - a perfect Autumn day!

Bring the good weather back with you, just not the humidity.

Mild at best in Dublin this afternoon, the chilly wind not helping. Decent amounts of sun at my coastal location though, plenty more cloud not far inland. Nonetheless the house was a bit cool when I arrived so heatingb on the past 40 minutes. Just enough to take the sting out of the coolness.

So long to this year's limited spells of warmth and humidity, hope to catch up with you again next summer. Missing you already.

Clew Bay this evening

Supposed to be going to a festival in Louth Saturday till Monday. Heavy rain forecast the whole weekend. How much rain does one country need ffs.

Ya it was too hot last week. Bring back the rain. 60mm in parts of South and East Thursday to Sunday. West and North more like 15 to 30mm.

Actually quite a flip in GFS. Yesterday a few storms and possible warm last week. Today constant unsettled shyt all the way out. Like Summer.

I would take the usual mixed weather with showers for the weekend but it looks like full on heavy rain all weekend from what I can gather online. Argh!

Very bright aurora borealis at Balbriggan last night followed by some sunrise colour between Portmarnock and Malahide ahead of rain later.

Raining in Galway City already. Apps hadn't forecast it until 2pm. This is why I always say the weather can't be summed up with a symbol and a number!

Why does normal service have to be such utter crap! 😫 While last week in Tralee was as good as it gets, today is every as bad as it gets. Every horrible variety of rain here from drizzle to downpour, add in some wind, low temps and a sleet grey sky and it really is shyte.😩 Nobody would expect last week's weather to last, especially in September, but please don't tell me we are returning to to the same awful crap we've almost exclusively had since 1st July!

Normal service in Ireland never used to be that bad.
