Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

Pouring rain in Sligo now. Warm rain though so going for a soaking run. Who cares its just water.

Some sunny breaks in Kildare now and very mild. Certainly doesn’t feel like October in Ireland that’s for sure.

Quite nice in Bodrum so far this week

Gin blue sky and mostly around 29c

Been in Rome since Tuesday, heading home tonight. High 20s everyday day since I've been here. Lovely city and all that apart from the heat. Sweaty weather just does my head in. Looking forward getting back to cooler weather back home ,well relatively speaking considering the warm spell that is starting in ireland today.

Only 16.6c in Sligo. We will be the last part of the world to have our climate destroyed by heat due to the Atlantic cold blob if its still there.

Still itl be over 20c in most places tomorrow and Sunday.

Tomorrow will be warmer for sure but mist and drizzle will be near the North and Northwest and Southerly may be Southwesterly in these areas.

Anyways it doesn't matter anyways as itl be 20c much more often in the future so getting some mist may be a relief.

Yesterday was our heatwave. We got some fluke sun and 19c today is just misty and drizzly and wet all day. Tomorrow will be sunnier but not wall to wall.

From what I see on Met Eireanns radar there seems to be rain in many parts of the country yet theyr saying its all gone by this evening bar North Ulster.

ICON was more correct. It had rain further South all day.

This is the most winter like 20C day I can remember.

Rain, wind & very dull, dark already.

Thoroughly unremarkable day. Sure it’s mild for October but Jesus the grey slate the on and off spits of rain the cloud down to the ground. Meh.

I was in Southern Italy near Lecce for a week mid September. I am not at all good with heat and I thought Sept would be ok but it was 30-33 during the day every day without a cloud in the sky. I had to avoid the searing midday sun or spend it in the water. I have never sunbathed in my life, can't do it. The nights were lovely with 19-21C. I do think Irish people will find it harder and harder to visit the Med in July/Aug due to the extreme heat. I know I will be looking at October next time.

Very blustery here in carrick, 50km/h gusts

Still raining a bit in Sligo. The 2pm clearance kind of happened but kept misting a bit after that. Very windy too. Don't know why it's so windy when there's a high over us.

As Joanna said "rain took its sweet time" as in we didn't think it would last so long. Hopefully good weather tomorrow isn't now scuppered but ICON which got today right shows rain at times in the NW but fine in most other places. RTE weather had rain in North Ulster like tonight was sposed to be. We actually only had about 3 or 4mm in Sligo but it was that thready mist that soaks ya as opposed to the flying drops now that don't.

There is less and less snow on the Alps every year. The lower ski resorts are really beginning to suffer with their season shrinking. Such a pity.

Very windy in Galway City with some fairly strong gusts! Didn't expect this

Breezy dark morning. Mountains shrouded in cloud. 17c in Finner though 14.7c in Sligo .

Today definitely will get 24c somewhere if it clears. South Midlands has cleared a little .

Another cloudy grey day. I suppose its good weather for the person doing their roof over the weekend. So the lesson is no matter the weather it's nearly always good for someone!

Very hazy sunshine in longford but it's feeling quite warm with very little breezes. Have just lit the BBQ, have never had a BBQ in October.

Cutting the grass in t shirt and shorts. Have never done that in October
