Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

Gfs brings it across the far South with torrential rain for South and East. Lots going on but a deep deep low of 955mbs looks very likely...

Yeah that must be it. I am seeing some lovely colour here this week too. The beech trees are fabulous.

I've seen 3 rainbows today here in Carrick-on-Shannon, don't think I've seen 3 in a day before

More counties added to the warning ⚠️ also a REMINDER that clocks go back at 2am

Maybe you might have to cancel your trip to the boozer!!!

It was a beautiful day here in NCD, so mild and sunny until mid afternoon.

Glad we got out and made the most of it as I know the heavy rain is coming!

I can confirm there was no wind as the 7 year old persuaded me to brave the big wheel at funfair and thankfully I survived😁.

Autumn is probably my favourite season, the leaves are definitely late falling here in Dublin this year.

My very scientific study is the sycamore tree in our garden, we put the hallowen decorations on it every year, this year it still has all its leaves which has never happened before.

We would go to Newbridge House a lot aswell and still very green, although I have noticed a change in last very days with leaves changing colour.

Still remember the year we flew to Boston for Oct midterm and flying over all the trees in the area, the colours were unbelievable.

It's deeper than both gfs and gem at same timeframe and a fraction further North than both of them. It is however slightly weaker than its morning run, though with large timeframes difficult to judge

Lashing in Cork this evening, ser corksafetyalerts for flood reports...

Desperate night out heavy rain and flash flooding. Miserable for a bank holiday weekend. Hopefully things improve a bit tomorrow.

For once the weather is better in Mayo. Just went for a walk there to see the lunar eclipse - some cirrostratus cloud but it was clearly visible. Lovely mild night too with neighbours down the road setting off fireworks.

Feck. I forgot all about the eclipse. What a great 2nd half that was in Paris. You'd have to say South Africa were the deserved winners in the end , they had the hardest route to the final and just know how to hang on to a lead and win.

It started raining an hour ago, but not heavy so far.

Wonderful to be in southern Spain for a week and get a break from god awful Irish weather. Just to be rain free for a few days is a big plus. In Kerry it rains 5/7 days every week and that is being nice.

Not looking forward to November there if what is being predicted here comes to pass.

I wonder did Peter O'Mahony send Sam Cane a hard luck text:)

The rain has stopped here now.

So the weather next week looks like being quite different depending what part of the country you live in. The South Coast looks like bearing the brunt yet again. Rain across the South looks like being 3 times the normal amount with widespread flooding likely again especially by Thurs morning. Winds look extreme also Wed night with Easterly storm force winds a possibility. One of the Met Offices will likely name it by tomorrow and for places like Cork a red rainfall warning is possible but more likely orange. A disruptive week!! By next weekend another system moves in but for now this doesn't look quite as bad...

MT, you mention heaviest rain for Connacht through the week yet the charts are showing Wednesday and Saturdays lows to skirt along the South?? Surely the South Coast is the impact zone?

Edit, the 06z runs move system further South so there's a chance even South Coast is a miss
