Ah for the love of God

Mrs Garth Brooks

One week of sunshine about 4 weeks ago. Is this all we're getting this year.

Checked the weather on my phone and its going to be the same for the next 10 days. I cant see past 10 days on this weather app but my guess it'll last until the first week of September.

I dont understand how there are parts of the world in winter and they still have better weather than us. Its so unfair.

It's not that bad. Our weather doesn't try to kill us or take the roof from over us on a daily basis. We're lucky to live where we do.

That's what happens when we vote Fine Gael

We're expecting the effects of global warming very soon, so it should be nicer then.

The weather cannot be predicted any more than 2 day's unless they see a big-ass "high" coming close to the Island, as there would be a good chance this big high pressure system will hit us with high odds, that's a prediction.

A little Island on the far west of Europe is going to get el-weirdo weather all the time, it cannot be predicted easily from Ireland.

I was on a plane for the first time during the week. Came back yesterday. Left england and it was raining but it was lovely up above the clouds. It doesnt rain up there, a lovely blue sky. I thought it was cool. It really looks like heaven up there.

Still dont understand why we get the rain, there is a blue sky up there but we just cant see it.

It also doesn't rain spiders and any flooding we get doesn't bring a wave of angry crocs.

Ireland gets so much rain because the jet stream typically dips down toward the equator about 1000 miles out in the Atlantic to the west of Ireland. Then it turns sharply north and collides with cooler air masses just to the west of Ireland. When the warm jet stream air and the cooler north Atlantic air collide, they form storms and clouds which come ashore on the west coast of Ireland, causing rain to occur. Since Ireland is such a small Island, just about all of it gets rain at the same time. Of course, the jet stream can change course and direction, which will alter the weather, but normally this is how it occurs.

Twas Anglo that did this, we used to have great summers till they went tits up.

If its a choice between our summers and spiders the size of dinner plates and snakes hiding in your shoes I know what I'd rather.

One week of sunshine is enough. Irish people are too dumb to deal with any longer. Walking around scalded red, delighted with themselves for getting "a lovely colour". Most people would put on SPF, not many of the Irish though, lob on some oil and go out and fry in it.

Really, this weather is saving lives.

Thwip!

Yes we have been monitoring your flight characteristics for a while, but as you say it does look nice up there, sick of this NSA spying on citizens, but it's in the job.

I never understand it!! So many people get absolutely roasted and then start with the "Sure I'll have a great colour when it goes down!". No, you won't. You'll have the same pasty skin that is under the burnt and damaged layer you just destroyed.

Ha yeah, usually a "lovely colour" is just skin damage. I'm tan pretty easily but avoid it, hate sunbathing I prefer cold weather. shorts and tshirt weather and it just being nice is grand, when its sweltering its awful. we get sh1tty humid summers

Well, the way the saying goes... common sense null and void...

Mary:: I'd love to have a colour if it only stopped raining and the clouds went away.

Berney:: well Mary, you were on the sun-bed for the last 3 months and you look very tanned to me.

Mary:: I know, i'm very dark tanned now.... hang on a second berney, i have to answer my phone............ It's very packed in the post office here, and that black one is taking all day to pay her bills...i'll be here all fecking day because of that coloured person (Oblivious to the amount of work Mary put into making herself a darker colour) one of the tribe, she is oblivious to the meaning.

Welcome to Ireland.... The land of leprechauns that want to be darker in colour.

The screenshot in OP is from Sydney. Which is a penal colony and sh1thole.

corktina

cracking the stones, so it is, here in Cork today, so it is , da sun like bhoi

miss flutter ups

I for one, hate the sun. It knocks me out so I spend any foreign hols sleeping. My skin freckles, i still turn red with factor 50 on and have never had even a slight tan in my life. I get so bloated regardless of how much I drink.

Good weather doesn't agree with everyone!

Give me a cool (dry day) anytime

zenno

We get very high humidity though, so I think that is why us Irish feel hot and bothered.

Give me a fresh easterly breeze and it's good to go.
