Any sign of good weather?

CrowdedHouse

Folks - I predict the weather is going to take up very soon,it'll be dry warm and sunny for weeks.

My reason for this - I bought an expensive Goretex rain jacket today

I know I'm clutching at straws but the link below looks slightly promising for a warm dry day on July 15th! More seriously is that a proper Atlantic high pressure system I see drifting east? Please!

I agree, when working outside this summer it's far more comfortable than last year.

You cant get much done when its pissing rain every day.
I've been trying to paint my house for the last month !

Managed to get the front garden cut yesterday after trying for the last month.

Heres a tip straight from your friendly Gardening/DIY forum; if cutting wet grass, give a healthy spray of WD40 to the underside and grass box of your lawnmower, it makes things a lot easier.

Read somewhere that if it rains today, it will be the 27th consecutive day that it has rained at least once, is this a record?

If so, it looks like there will be at least a week more of it to come from weather.com

ok, theyre are plenty of people out there who like to predict the weather, using ol signs such as things todo with seaweed and so on. What are they predicting?? does anyone know??

Dunno,tides gone out.

There was a chap on Newstalk last week, some morning, saying that things would be bad until at least 14th July. Can't remember what whacky notion he used but something to do with broken weather around the 14th of June? And, by all indications, we're in for some wet-and-wild stuff after that.

Looks like Friday is going to be a extremely poor day.

Certainly the possibility of flooding along southern and eastern coasts with torrential rain.

As for the further outlook it will be unsettled for at least the next 10 days, this mornings 0z does have a glimmer of hope in FI.

so it looks like being bad till at least the end of July:( This has to be the worst summer I have ever experienced with cool temperatures and what seems like non ending rain. Our garden is almost unwalkable in places its so soaked. There has been very little difference between the exceptionaly mild winter we had and this June/July so far except the temperatures are a few degree's higher and there is alot more rain. We got up to 11/12C regularly this winter and so far this summer we have struggled to 15C/16C during many days. All we can hope for now is that hopefully August will turn out dryer and warmer and that an Indian Summer will come about during September:)

I can remember some of the summers around 2000 were desperate. Then 2003 came along:d

Does anyone know why there are repeated zonal conditions at the moment?

Strong jet stream over us,kinda typical to Irish winter patterns.It should be futher north than where it is at this time of year alowing in the HP(azores high) to our south to come close to us but it cant with the strong jet over us.Untill that moves or shifts,well you can guess the rest.

Hopefully it shifts around December;)

I dunno about ye lads, but the weather at the moment is bloody depressing. I usually go off to Thailand in the winter, to escape the godawful weather here, maybe I should have booked two trips, one in Summer (It's their rainy season, but at least it's feckin warmer!) and the usual.

Is it good news for frogs though? If it is then I don't mind. The frogs have been having a hard time as of late.

DarkJager

Aw bad news... thank god I'm off to Spain for 2 weeks of proper summer!!!

Ive definitely noticed that people in general have been more moany and in bad form over past 2 months coz the weather is getting alot of people down. Nearly everyone I know has cancelled some form of Irish based holiday/weekend away coz the weathers being so bad. Hotels/guesthouses on the coast that rely on a bit of warm sunny weather in the summer for increased tourist business most be feeling it right now. Day after day of grey skys and rain isnt what makes everyone happy. Alot of people say weather is boring and they dont care what its like but im a firm believer that it really does effect peoples attitude if theres too much of any one weather type.

Totally agree - it really effects mood.

I'm meant to be off to Co. Clare for the weekend, but at least 5 days of rain is forecast and now I'm not bothered about going.

Posts,threads merged into this here.

Understandably alot of moaning going on about the weather atm.
So keep the moans and groans here and only here.

Combine the lower strong jet stream with the effects of La Nina, the cooling of the Pacific, and the knock-on effects are felt around the globe!

In theory and only in certain parts of the globe.

continous unnatural amounts of rain is a symptom of global warming or climate change you moron

Play nice!

Jonny Arson may even have been a bit ironic by emphisising warming
