    yup and the rest of August is going to be cold and showery with only one or two mild days

    Theres a low over Scandanavia pooling cold air over us and a High in the Atlantic adding to this and the pattern appears very hard to shift.

    Charts arent changing that much at all over the 10 days

    So if what you are saying is correct where is MT getting his forecast of warmer weather next week with temps around 20 degrees.

    The orientation of the high probably feeding southerlies/southeasterlies back in,the current pattern allowing for this probability if you get me?
    That could flip back to northerly a week later though bringing us to square one again.

    could be the first frost of the season tonight, temperatures only ranging 3 to 4C tonight in many inland areas. Over the next week temperatures will generally be 12-15C during daytime, with a few spots hitting 17C during light winds and sunshine. Feels very much mid-autumn while many parts of Europe are going through the height of Summer.

    Frost is very rare in august isn't it? I thought it was the month which had none recorded. Or was that July.

    Tues high of 17C, Weds 16.9C and today a high of 16.7C

    In fact the highest of temp of the month here in North Kerry was just 21.3C

    Temperatures to recover to the high teens next week but nothing exceptional.

    I have to say I really like this weather. It is very dry apart from the odd heavy shower and I am not a big fan of 21+ temperatures. 15-20 degrees and dry is perfect for me. I could do with it being less windy.

    Yes i like this weather myself,we had enough warmth and humidity during june and july to do me. The cooler weather of late has been refreshing imo. Roll on the Autumn.

    To be honest someone predicting temps of 20c in August is hardly taking much of a risk are they?

    Anyone could say that and there might/should be a possibility of them getting it right, whether they study weather or not.

    When I woke up today it was 7, sensation 4! According to accuweather (in Dublin). Madness for this time of year.

    By 9/9:30 though, it felt quite nice in the sunshine.

    Had the gas fire on last night :(

    I am a lightweight when it comes to hot weather but the last few posts shows the lightweight for the cooler weather.:pac:

    I have been wearing a tshirt and no heating on at all the last few days. The house seems to be good at retaining heat. It is currently 24C in the house.

    Winters day here in south Tipp. The weather in this part of the country has been very disappointing this month. Would love to meet the clowns telling us about a 'heatwave' this month. Met Eireann not to optimistic about the upcoming week either....

    IIRC wasn't it a similar situation in 2010 with a cool August and then a couple of beautiful weeks later on?
