[BornFromTheVoid]

Heavy rain in Cork since early this morning, 10.3C the minimum overnight, currently 12.5C.

Got soaked walking into college, only to realise my 11am class is tomorrow, not today! A lot of surface water about and wouldn't be surprised if some flooding occurs. The wind sounds amazing though.

[Andy Bown]

I was woken by heavy rain at 05.40 which was a heavy shower that the radar shows to have died out quickly after that time.

There was some mist/fog and then low cloud until around 09.00 since when it's been mostly sunny.

10.7c at present and sunny/breezy from the SW.

[Bottesford]

Gorgeous day here with plenty of sunshine after a cloudy morning.

Feeling very pleasant indeed and we've got the office windows wide open again with the sun flowing in. Feeling like I'm being charged up again!

12.2c the max. Happy to keep this weather!

[Liam J]

Clouding over from the west, wind picking up and it's quite gusty now from a southerly direction. Temp 11.2c

Some interesting weather for a change later today with the risk of gales gusting 50-60mph.

[Aaron]

11.7c, peaked at 12.5c, bloody low sun glaring into my living room!

[Bottesford]

11.7c, peaked at 12.5c, bloody low sun glaring into my living room!

The curse of October to February unfortunately... Luckily curtains were invented for just such issues!

However in the office I use bits of paper stuck on the window at the right position for my desk in the path the sun takes... So I keep having to shift them every few days (or in the case of recently after weeks as there's been no sun). Shutting the main blind means sitting in darkness for 4 months- not an option!

[SNOW_JOKE]

Another single figure day here despite the wall-wall sunshine earlier. Temperature just got below 9.9'c, and falling now the cloud layer has moved across and were approaching sunset.

[johnholmes]

spot the days the sun shone competition!

Tuesday max=13.5

Wednesday-=8.4

Thursday=13.7

replies with a promise to keep to the thread title if you use the model thread will be considered!

my 2 moans about the sun, and one from you botty tut tut, yes I agree its a bloody nuisance being so low but on balance I would rather have it than not have it.

Spare a thought for our posters in the Northern Isels, I remember there it lasts for more months, some days in official winter it barely seemed to rise before it was setting again during my 12 months on Shetland.

[Bottesford]

Oh no complaints from me John about the sun - I don't mind it at all so long as I keep it from blinding me for hours on end (not so easy when facing directly south with big windows in front of me). I just prefer it to be high in the sky but if it can't do that - it can still shine as much as possible!

[Summer Sun]

Lovely day today

Temperature maxed at 12.4°C

Clouded over now with the temperature falling to 11.4°C

[Coast]

Office window still open here and then two mosquitoes came in and decided that they were going to try me for tea - I mean mosquitoes, has no one told them this is mid-November????

[Isolated Frost]

9.6c here currently at sunset. 6/8 okta, but the cloud has been thin enough for a very sunny day.
