INISHOWEN has been
basking in a beautiful Indian Summer with
forecasters predicting dry conditions continuing for
the rest of this week.
Anglers fish for mackerel at Buncrana
Pier.
People living in the
peninsula have been joining visitors in enjoying a
late season extension to the summer.
Swimmers have reported pleasant water temperatures
with anglers enjoying good if not bumper mackerel
catches in Lough Swilly.
Forecasters say the weather will remain mostly dry
for the rest of this week with some sunny intervals
and temperatures reaching highs of 19 degrees
Celsius.
The tranquil beauty of Lough Swilly.
Meanwhile, our
breathtaking sunrises and sunsets have been
delighting professional and amateur photographers
alike.
And no Indian Summer would be complete without a few
staple Donegal phrases to help it along: "It'll
shorten the winter for us"; "There are people going
abroad for this"; "Sure we're saving on the
heating"; "The poor wains and them back at school".
Here's hoping it lasts..."The winter will be long
enough, so it will."
