    Next week not looking good going by Met Eireann , Summer gone already ??

    Sunday: Dry in many areas, with some bright or sunny spells, but with a good deal of cloud, bringing a few patches of drizzle or light rain, mainly to Atlantic coasts. Max. 16 to 21 Celsius, in a freshening southerly breeze.

    Further outlook: Changeable and unsettled, with wet and windy weather moving in from the Atlantic Sunday night and Monday, in fresh southerly winds.

    Compare this to MT Craniums forecast of

    "
    MONDAY to WEDNESDAY will be rather cloudy with limited sunshine in the southeast, occasional showers that may be heavier at times in north, west and central counties, and continued rather warm with highs near 20 C.

    FURTHER OUTLOOK calls for gradual warming trend in the last weekend and following week of 23 June to about 1st of July, with highs possibly reaching the mid 20s at times.
    "

    And please don't be the person who calls "SUMMERS OVER" when the outlook is good both from short term (MT) and long term forecasts (Sryanbruen, MT) especially when there is 2+ months left.

    after the great start to June the rest of June is pretty much a write off, I hope this isn't setting the scene for the rest of the summer:( Hopefully July will see things turn more summery again:)

    just looking further ahead, there is hope towards the last few days of June of something much warmer and more settled leading into July.

    2 days of bad weather and I start cracking up, I really hate these grey skies, rain clouds never far away. I'll be prepared to put up with the next 10 days as long as things work out from end of June onwards!

    There is potential for temps to reach 23-29C end of the month/beginning of July.

    Yeah and besides there is light until 10:30pm now. So many opportunities!
    I lived in Brisbane, was 30C and sunny all day but dark at 7pm which was very limiting.
    Embrace the light, don't be afraid of rain.

    Us astronomers often moan about the long summer evenings and persistent twilight at this time of year :-)

    But there is a silver lining. Some fine noctilucent cloud displays can be seen, some of which have been noted from Ireland already this summer. Martin McKenna has some pics on his web site http://www.nightskyhunter.com/ (click Latest Sky Events on the left hand menu). He has a fine article on observing NLCs at http://www.nightskyhunter.com/Noctilucent%20Clouds.html while http://www.spaceweather.com/ also features reports of recent displays.

    Keep looking up!

    John

    Last night was amazing, it never even got to that grey dim of the last few weeks. There was fairly bright light on the horizon all night.

    today has been a huge improvement over the past 3 days of cool, wet and muck here. Few spots of rain earlier, nothing has wetted the ground and warmish sunshine from time to time.

    More shocking daily rainfalls yesterday, continuing on from Monday's deluges

    Mullingar: 33.2mm
    Belmullet: 25.9mm
    Mt. Dillon: 24.8mm
    Finner Camp: 24.0mm
    Gurteen: 20.4mm
    Knock Airport: 19.9mm
    Phoenix Park: 19.3mm
    Markree Castle: 12.7mm

    It's hilarious to think that I recorded 0.2mm all day yesterday.

    There is a big difference between the weather forecast for next Sunday afternoon with the Munster Championship Hurling match in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. Met Eireann is quoting persistent and heavy rain with temperatures of 18 or 19c at best. MT is quoting mainly fair weather with temps up to 23c with a mention of an isolated shower in the evening. Sorry MT but in my experience on the Boards in the last few years it looks more likely that ME could be more correct. According to the GFS models on netweather.tv it looks like rain for Sunday afternoon. But I always hope that MT's forecast issued this morning would be some what correct and the forecast rain would hold off until the evening or night.

    Some heavy daily rainfalls yesterday again

    Mt. Dillon: 27.0mm
    Ballyhaise: 12.4mm

    As a result, Mt. Dillon is now above its average June rainfall.

    I meant to say this guys. Have a look at what 1995 was:

    - The third wettest Winter on record in 1994/95 (wettest on record at the time)
    - Average temperature Spring
    - Hot, dry and sunny Summer
    - Very warm Autumn
    - Freezing cold December

    2016 so far:

    - The second wettest Winter on record in 2015/16
    - Slightly cold Spring but pretty average
    - Very warm June so far

    Things I'd like to point out about 1995 here that 2016 has had so far:

    - The extremely wet Winter
    - A cold March and some snowfall in both
    - Though the very start of June 2016 started off great and has now turned horrible, June 1995 did not start off good - but it ended brilliantly

    And it looks like this June will end off brilliantly. Though there are some differences between the years i.e. April 1995 was much warmer, drier and sunnier than April 2016 or May 2016 was warmer and sunnier than May 1995, I can see some great comparisons with 1995 and 2016 that could mean a brilliant Summer coming. If this is the case then as I said in my predictions, the "August 1995" of this Summer would be July.

    Also in my predictions back in December, I predicted a colder than normal November. November 1995 was a mild month overall but around the 3rd week, there were some very low temperatures recorded that were record-breaking in some places. And for December, I also predicted a colder than normal month. Like come on, we had the warmest December on record just gone. We are more than owed a cold December plus 1995 had a cold December, so we should be given one!

    During August, I am seeing a large absence of very sunny days (10 hours or more of sunshine) but there will be sunny intervals frequently throughout the month which will make it sunnier than average overall.

    I am saying this just in case you get confused with my prediction for August of "Rather wet, sunny and warm".
