Charts ( Up to T120 ) Summer 2024 ** READ MOD NOTE IN FIRST POST**

14 degrees max that day in the west. Complete Trash.

nothing wrong with being optimistic but let’s face it, it’s a long way back from this, we’re stuck in this for the next few weeks. Not the end of the world though, we’ve had only two good Augusts this century so we’re well used to this crap .. thank god for Ryanair!

… from bad to worse

Time period? I think we can write off August unfortunately, if anyone can find a fine and warm August that followed a cool dull July from past records/archives I would like to know but I’m not aware of any?

there’s no hope now,

Yes indeed Autumn is kicking in early

Yes quite a notable event for time of year. Nationwide yellow I would think

Still a bit of uncertainty with the impact for tomorrow night. ECM, GFS and HARMONIE all showing 60-70 max overland with yellow-level gusts for the West coast. ARPEGE showing a similar setup but stronger gusts on the west coast. UKMO and ICON doing their usual over estimations. I still think it should only be a yellow warning for only the Western coastal counties however Met Eireann may issue one country-wide just due to it being the first wind storm since Kathleen in April and trees are still in leaf so loose branches and small/weakened trees might come down and lots of garden furniture still out so might encourage people to take it in etc. Overall I don't think it will be a notable event.

We're getting to the butt end of August,and we can start seeing stronger winds speeds from now on. Obviously ex hurricane remnants are fairly common at this time of year too. It's been a quiet summer for wind, so this week has had me sweeping bits of leaves and twigs already, and more to come.

Will it be all done and dusted come Saturday?

Hurricane Ernesto ‘danger to life’ warning as Met Eireann issue update for Ireland

This **** should be illegal

let’s see how this holds up in west cork 🫣 I won’t get down to take it down before Thursdays wind.

a very unpleasant and wet looking chart if you’re camping but probably not very windy in the ‘eye’ of the storm? best of luck Akrasia.

I'd be confident that the start of September will see a more settled picture, I've seen it many times over the years. When the tropics start firing at the east of the US it can disrupt the jet stream and we end up with settled weather, they even give it a name "an Indian Summer"

Indian Sumner naming has absolutely nothing to do with hurricanes ( ex or otherwise) or indeed the Ocean in general. It doesn't even occur in September. I mean the name " Indian" alone should tell you it has to at least be associated with the great plains and front range of the US. ( I.e where most of the "Indian" tribes resided).

I will leave it to Google search so you can confirm the connection.

It’s just a windy wet evening here in Clare. Slightly a bit out of the norm but nothing to get concerned about.

Yeah I agree. It’s been an abysmal summer. Anecdotally I bought a decent-ish outdoor table and chairs last year and was looking first to getting them back out this summer. There just wasn’t the weather for it though. Not really at all. Even last summer there were a good few evenings k sat out watching the sun go down, particularly last June 2023. I honestly managed maybe 5-7 evenings this summer. It was just cold and not very pleasant for the most part. At no point did it arrive at a point where it was particularly fine and settled. Now I’m looking at the barbecue and thinking it’ll be back in the shed in the next few weeks and that it didn’t Fahy get used as much this year as it should. It’s kind of depressing to think we’re heading back to winter already.

The SW could potentially have some localised damage there tonight, I'd imagine soil in the SE and E is so bone dry it should help to anchor trees even in full leaf.

Here's how it looks around midnight from windy.com :
