why dont people realise this, here's how Irish summers work, on the exact date the Leaving Cert starts, sun. sh1tty humidity with rain for most of July and August, then the first day back to school, sun again. book your time off work accordingly.

I thought twas grand to be honest
Then again anything is an improvement over -19 and blizzards

It has been a lot worse, remember summer 2008 it was a wash out! Not been a bad summer so far, more pleasant, mild and some warm/humid days yet less sunny but nice. Not as many wet days but there has been a good few cool and breezy days alright. Seems like our hot summer days are gone, it arrived too early this year! Say now the autumn has arrived! Its only and ever is a mixed summer weather to be honest!? Get all seasons in one day here in Ireland!

At least you had the Munich massacre to look forward to. It seems like even current affairs have been a letdown since 9/11.

Its been very warm in the morning before the clouds roll in. Damn clouds.

Not really, living through the antics of the real Carlos the Jackal and other mad, crazy stuff kept us all going in regards to weathering other storms.

I didn't mind the snow last winter, it was season-appropriate at least. Shame the cold winter = hot summer theory didn't work out. :mad:

We have had a very good year by all standards. On my birthday, at the end of February, we went to the zoo, and went wearing tshirts and sweatshirts only. I don't think I wore my coat again until May. My friends got horribly sunburned in college at the end of April! So far this summer has been streets ahead of many of the recent ones. Went to a Foo Fighters gig in August, lovely day, 2008 - Dave Ghrol said he'd been told it had rained for three months solid, yet here was the sun blazing. I remember that summer cause I used to walk with my ex to the Luas at 7am every morning, and it was always with an umbrella. I had to buy him an umbrella in the end. He was from Pakistan and the poor guy was naive enough to think that it was actually just monsoon season in Ireland!! That really gave me a laugh and a half.

It wasn't as bad as 1816 though.

carfiosaoorl

Pure **** summer but I am going somewhere sunny last week of august so looking forward to that and then my favourite season autumn and hopefully a lovely snowy winter so its all good:D

policarp

The summer of 76, that was a summer and half.

Thought it was quite a poor summer, too, actually. Wouldn't say fourth in a row, though.


Last year wasn't very good, but I thought the year before that (2009) was fantastic (whether it actually was or not, is another thing, but I remember it as being great).

What year was it that the London river totally froze over?
I wouldn't have been like to be around that year either.
Must have been great fun!

Jesus Wept

Four in a row? We had a couple of great weeks either last year or the year before. If you expect better than that, then you are in the wrong country. Are you new here?

The car thermometre registered 25 degrees today at one point, guess if Bud wasn't just p*ss they owed us some. It was ridiculously hot today. Has been for weeks, without the beautiful 20+ degrees sun and cool evenings of summer 95. Ah, now THAT was some summer. It hit 32 degrees in Wexford, second highest on record apparently. My pony fell on his knees while the farrier was trying to shoe him.

only served to highlght how overpriced the fizzy p*ss is. Or "the colder it is, the more you pay.."

I honestly dont know what the fuss is about. I think its been a decent summer so far. I'm from the county and everyone is up to date with their harvest. Its been a bit overcast but in general dry and mike

Totally, summer 2007 my parents lost all their hay, and they're not farmers, just rented out a few acres for the nags. The year before an Australian friend said she couldn't get a pumpkin, and wondered why. It was because summer 2006 was so crappy that all the strawberry, hay, wheat, and yes pumpkin harvests failed and rotted. We've had some really awful summers lately, this one has been great. I have a tan for the first time in six years.

they are always over reading on hot days, and if your car is parked out of the shade the reading becomes pretty useless

We were driving down the M50 and it went from 19.5 to 25 while we were driving south. I know it's not accurate, but it actually ROSE while we drove. It was seriously hot at times today, before the heavy rain started. Ah but lovely cold wind.

policarp

The economy has being overheating and now it's in the cooling off period.
We can expect a lot of "Sh!te summers" for a good few years to come. . .

Donahg

Some of you people really think this has been a good summer? Do you people not remember summer 95 ? That was a good summer.

Bumblegoose

Lads isnt the temperature on the weather the temperature in THE SHADE

So its not unusual to see much higher temperatures on thermometers NOT IN THE SHADE

Tayla

I think it's been a good summer, more warm dry days than not!

Some people just like to complain about the weather no matter what :P

he wasnt that far wrong though, the warmest months of the summer are usually the mild and damp/wet, we are a small island with the gulf stream and the atlantic ocean beside us, so when we get our summer the weather goes like this. we actually get our propper summer in April, but its obviosly cooler then, and then it comes back for september when the temperature drops again. but the 'summer' bit can be anything...literally!

I just wish people could get their heads around this is the nature of the island here and its not going to change anytime soon!

Sh*t weather.

Yes but the sun is like a candle come September..

Dangerous Man

One theory has it that the sun is in a cycle of low solar activity, and there's no sign of it changing for about another ten years. It doesn't affect all parts of the earth evenly but you can continue to experience more bad summers. So I've heard.
