Beautiful structure to that depression/low! http://en.sat24.com/en

A very windy morning here in Dublin 16. Lots of leaves, twigs and branches off trees...even saw a flagpole (with flag attached) blown over in a local school! Seems to be much windier here than is being experienced/recorded at the other Dublin stations.

Not bad here in Tralee, windy overnight with only a few mm of rain but awoke to near calm and good spells of Sunshine. Feeling very mild , bigger clouds about now and getting bits of rain in an increasing wind.

Was a lovely morning in east galway when I hit out for Dublin
Disgusting morning here
Damp cold and dark
So basically what we have had for the last month. So imagine what all of JULY felt like
Average me arse

Very wind out here in West Clare, so much so that everything is bone dry (except for a few locations in the grass). Quite warm out too, weather station tell me 19.1c! Sun just broke out for roughly 10 seconds :P

Met Eireann have issued 2 more weather warnings this morning, and I'm affected by both

ArKl0w · 19-08-2016 12:43pm

Vile start but gorgeous sunny here now breezy
Serious accident near the M11 Arklow South exit in heavy rain
A jeep left the northbound lane flew down the embankment and into the field
The Air Sea Rescue helicopter took someone away from the jeep hooked to a lot of pipes
At other side minutes later on the southbound carriageway another crash

Road was dry for weeks so the flood of rain made it treacherous

Despite the very unsettled weather it has reached 21c in Kildare. Heavy Showers being triggered off.

So Tuesday at this stage looks like a very wet day for here in the east, it looks very similar to the 24th July 2012 setup and I can tell you, this day alone if it's gonna be like that would make you think Summer 2016 is crap. Not looking forward to that.

between next tuesday and the past few days, its making August the poorest month of this summer here.

August has been quite similar to June here, probably not as poor, the second half of June or from the 10th onwards, it was very poor here besides the minimum temperatures.

Out of all months of Summer 2015 and 2016, here's how I rank them from best to worst, at least here in the east (or most pleasant to poorest):

1. June 2015
2. July 2016
3. August 2016
4. June 2016
5. August 2015
6. July 2015

I think your being harsh on june 2016. There were 2 very warm weeks at the start of it.
Maybe the June heat was due to an east wind though, so the west was warmer?

Oscar Bravo · 19-08-2016 2:23pm

Kinsale gusting 46 knots, tis indeed windy!

That spell was less pleasant here where I am compared to in the west. May ended on a brilliant note with endless sunshine and warmth here from the 28th-31st. Then when I woke up on June 1st, it was very cloudy and cool and it was like that until the early afternoon when it began to feel more like Summer. June 2nd and 3rd had early morning cloud but not as long as the 1st. 4th was similar to the 1st. 5th-7th had thunderstorms and very cloudy but warm conditions. 8th had warm, dry and fairly cloudy conditions. So as you can see, that spell of weather wasn't as good here as it was in the west.

The west was up to 8C warmer than the east coast due to the easterly wind during that warm spell. Got to about 21C in my location during the late May/early June warm spell, but many coastal parts didn't get much past 16 or 17C.

Today has changed for the better, after the misery of this morning, it's close to 22C here and pleasant spells of sunshine.

Got to 24c on June 6th and in return, I got a thunderstorm and plenty of lightning strikes.

And yeah today isn't as bad as I expected it to be, in fact, not bad at all.

sryanbruen · 19-08-2016 4:40pm

So today I've recorded another day with 20c or more. Here is how some Irish stations have fared in the quantity of days with 20c or more during this Summer so far.

A howling wind here in Arklow

Clonmel1000 · 19-08-2016 6:38pm

We must be very close to the 30th anniversary of hurricane Charlie?

Yes Thursday next week.

Meteorite58 · 19-08-2016 7:17pm

986.8 hPa Steady here near Tralee, close to the center now. Expecting the winds to increase here in the next few hours as the depression tracks up the country bringing the winds more W'ly. Should have the strongest winds overnight/ early mornng here in Kerry.
