    Jean is my favourite of the RTE ladies, even if the forecast is ****e she wears something amusing to make up for it.

    Jean Byrne's not an RTE presenter, she's a Met Eireann meteorologist.

    AFAIK, there are four (or is it 5?) Met Eireann presenter/meteorologists on TV.

    It was ridiculously wet in Cork today.
    Hopefully we get a bit of a return to stability soon!

    Let me see now - metorologists from met eireann on TV

    Theres Gerry the rainman Murphy, Evelyn Cusack, Siobhan Ryan, Jean Byrne - can't think of anymore - so yeah - I make it 4 - have I missed anyone. Haven't seen Gerald Fleming in a long while - last time I saw him on TV was last year when the lovely Ms O Callaghan had himself, Audrey and Nuala Carey on talking about the whole weather forecast thing.

    And yes - the rain was ridiculous today in Cork - well in North Cork anyway :mad:. Dried up a bit now

    Tuesday/Wednesday could be okay, with some easterly air action.

    Do you mean a typical crap Irish summer - or do you see potential for better weather??.

    Seeing GFS charts this morning - I see some potential for better weather - in that it looks to me that theres a building of high pressure over the atlantic.

    Unfortunately - to me - but im new to all this - so could be way off the mark - it looks like an easterly to north easterly type influence could spoil play.

    But high pressure seems to be showing west of Ireland - so if we strike lucky on the wind direction then who knows.

    Could be way off the mark though

    An east wind with high pressure would be beautiful compared to what we usually get. Granted it may be cooler on the coast but it would generally be lovely. :)

    I agree - but the problem is that if I was reading the charts correctly - they were showing an easterly with low pressure - there appeared to me to be high pressure waiting to come in from the Atlantic - but lower pressure coming from the east preventing the high coming in off the Atlantic.

    My apologies - im not sure if im interpretating the charts correctly - but anything with high pressure - east or west - coming our way is a fine thing.

    The met error website needs updating then!

    Why the insult to met eireann.

    Even a school kid who has done primary school geography will know that the weather in Ireland is one of the most unpredictable in the world.

    Today is a classic example
    Last night the rain was to fall primarily in kerry and lighten as it moved a little north east.

    This morning it was changed to lightish rain in most parts of southern half of country.
    By midday there was a heavy rain warning for cork and kerry.

    Even mt's forecast from 7am was quite wrong - that's irish weather for you. Totally unpredictable even in the immediate 6 hour time frame at times.

    Sky news saying tropical heatwave again for the South-East of the Uk, temps could reach 32C according to them, earlier on today bbc were putting highs of 19-21C throughout the week. For the majority of us here in Ireland I think 15-19C will be what we'll get this week.

    Some nice pressures on the 00 Z GFS this morning for next week - anything of 1020 or more is a nice chart to me.

    Less chance of wet stuff when you get into higher pressures

    In fairness that chart shows that we're certainly not the only part of Europe experiencing cool conditions. Also, the next few days should see temps nudge past 20 degress or so in many place. So cheer up! :)

    Didn't see RTE at 9.30 but the BBC forecast suggests the Thursday rain as predicted by Met Error for the east won't happen. Still we'll see. All ends Friday in any event.

    This is starting to get a bit tiresome Mike. Yes, they make mistakes but the majority of the time they are correct in their forecasts. No need to bash them whenever they get it wrong.

    Nice morning here in Sligo. It has the makings of a warm day.

    Lovely sunny morning with temps already at 18C. Just on the southern boundary of that high cloud, hopefully it will dissipate as the day goes on. ;)

    Charts for next week are looking more and more promising with each run. After that nasty little weekend depression clears there's very good indications of a build of high pressure for next week, which could mean another decent round of warm weather incoming, or even hot weather!!

    RTE are right, it's gonna be a cool and unsettled weekend, temps low to mid teens, similar next week maybe a bit milder. Even the south-east UK wont be much higher than high teens.

    ECM wants the Azores high to nudge right over us from early next week and is the pick of the models at the moment. GFS wants to follow suit and does for while before bringing deep low pressure back in about 10 days. If ECM verifies, it would be a nice week ahead after an unsettled weekend.

    RTE radio mentioning the Donegal postman in the paper review this morning. Embarrassing.

    Yes he was quoted in the independent as well.

    Its about half way through the summer, we have had a couple of decent spells, we will probably get another decent spell or 2, its being half hinted for next week anyway in other peoples forecasts.

    And he comes out with this gem in the indo


    "I'm not saying we'll have a heatwave, but we'll have a super summer."

    What kind of a genius prediction is that?
