Looks like Mark Zuckerberg is the one responsible for all this bad weather....

15mm so far this May (all 13 hours of it) which is about 50% of what fell during the whole of April in my area. Very welcome to get a bit of growth going

Fecking forcast is a continual downgrade of what was looking like a decent weekend

yeah it's back to the usual muck unfortunately, was really looking forward to some warm sunny days next week. Only good thing has been the recent lack of rain.

not too bad in the east/southeast but none of the hinted high pressure weather of last week.
That's probably a good thing?
Sun in may is never good for the rest of the summer.

Why is sun in May a bad thing? and is it sun or warm weather, or indeed just dry weather? Sounds like fairy tales to me this sort of thing.

Because weather averages out usually over the year.
You get a months sunny weather in May,it's borrowed from July and loaned again in September,that type of thing.
At least it's average weather we are having now and not super wet so we are not borrowing from next month or July so a warmer sunnier June is probably more likely and usually nicer then than in May as well frankly,it will be mid point without having had a terrible start so we'll be happier.

just seen the farming forecast on RTE and the next 7 days look like an absolute washout with below average temperatures, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for the entire summer.

mike65

Wretched but apparently its something we should be happy with on account of the notional sunshine quota :mad:

Exactly.
This weather is average and it's not even wet..
Do some people expect Greek style summer's the whole time now?
Silly expectations that.


Yes there is an average level of fine spells and wet spells in the Irish climate.
Don't shoot the messenger :rolleyes:

What happened the high pressure progged last week! Some turn around in the outlook.

Interesting line of convection developing over the midlands at present.

Yes, a big scary looking front about to pass over me now, can see Mammatus clouds forming.

Very disappointing bank holiday weekend here, given the outlook earlier in the week. I'd say we've had about 10 minutes of sunshine since Friday with near wall to wall low cloud,cool, breezy conditions. Anytime I attempted to go outside it drizzled:(

Get used of it, won't be any change anytime soon.

Was away this weekend. What happened to the 'heatwave' that was ring bandied about for this week?

It disappeared like a winter cold spell. It was always 120hr + away.

Awful evening here in south Tipp. Cold wet dreary
Really worried about the summer tbh.

Me too. I feel we are slipping back into they typical endless unsettled wet, cold and dull patterns of previous summers. I hope I'm wrong and we are getting some of the muck put of the way before summer...can only hope.
