Day 11 ~ October Challenge
What is the weather like where you live during fall?
Ireland doesn't have too much of a temperature change. It happens pretty slowly and in comparison to most places, it's pretty mild.
September is usually the last of the summer sun, and can be quite changeable but by the time we get to October, it is definitely more autumn. The leaves holding on from September will have started to die and the streets will start filling with the wind blown leaves. The days are getting shorter and the night temperatures will start to drop. It was frosty last night. Not cold enough to last but you'll start to feel it at night.
October is the deep autumn month where all the traditional scenery arrives and more people will be wearing their coats. The wind will be colder and stronger. The sun will be setting around 7pm and you can see people starting to hibernate a little. The sun is lower in the sky so when the rain clouds arent around, it seems really bright with all the coloured leaves reflecting the low sunlight. Every thing has that deep glowy haze.
The frost definitely sets in around November and will last most of the morning. November is to October what August is to July. She's like the older, weathered sister bringing you the extra bedding and hot chocolate. She's also very dark.
I used to get really annoyed at people putting out their Christmas decor in November but I realise now that November is the start of the dark, only without the festive lights. December we can deal because there's Christmas but November is several hours of daylight, continues rain and frost and people just get depressed. I don't mind the dark so much to be honest. I quite enjoy the low hum of activity when I can ignore the Christmas adverts. No, I'm enjoying returning to the earth, stop pestering me with garish colours and goofy looking elves LOL
Right now we're 12C dropping to 5C at night. According to google thats 53F ~ 41F.
On average ~ September will be around 15C/59F, pretty mild and pleasant generally with the summer sun holding on. October is around 12C/53F with the temperature drops being much more noticeable, and November is around 9C/48F. It's more about the darkness than the cold, as we're heading toward the Solstice in December.
