    I have heard this heatwave thing too much.
    Friday onwards was looking promising a few days ago, but not anymore. People seem to think forecasts for a week away dont change and therefore don't watch them.

    There are two guaranteed sunny warm periods in Ireland according to legend; the fortnight in June of the Leaving Cert and the first week in September when the schools re-open.

    Has anyone every researched the matter?

    You can't know that without doing some research; you can only suspect it's nonsense because it has no apparent scientific basis.

    I suppose that means you have little faith in Pat the Postman's forecasts?

    Today it was sunny and 17C and the poor sods were inside scribbling away. This could be the nearest to a heatwave we'll get this month looking at the forecasts......

    Joanne Donnelly from Met Eireann a few mins ago advised people to go online to have a look at the satellite image. I haven't heard that before.
    It may not what we want to see as we approach mid-summer but quite a dramatic looking image.

    So much for this much hyped "Leaving-cert weather". Only difference I can see the past few days is that there are less heavy showers and a bit more sunshine. Out of the sun, it stills feels unseasonably cool and very gusty. Not impressed :(

    The wind the past month or more has been shocking. And I don't even live in a windy part of Ireland.

    Seems to be settling down for a few days coming up. Nothing spectacular dry bright mid teen temperatures. I'm sure this will somehow be manufactured into a heatwave by some.

    Pat The post man? Is that a serious question? Today was breezy and showery certainly not hot or uncomfortable or anything like it. I wouldn't swap places with any of them mind you!!

    Well the heat has been moderated . Hopefully next week sees higher temperatures but with the sea 2 to 4c below average max will only struggle

    Could be one of the coldest junes on record coz of this.

    But id be more optimistic things wil warm up next week.

    Oh christ

    JUst looked at longer range

    NOw its saying that after 3 dry days next week northwesterly returns for another month.

    This would mean temperature s of 11 to 14c

    Maybe it wont happen. But its summer n looking for all the world like the cold Gods are winning.

    On the subject of that big Atlantic depression, the chart was very similar exactly 71 years ago today. The D-Day landings were originally planned for June 5th but barometric readings from Belmullet showed an unusually deep depression for the time of year in the north Atlantic giving gales in the Channel, the invasion of Europe was put off until the following day and the rest is as they say history!

    Could be the most rotten start to June I can ever remember?

    1983, NE storm and a max of 8C on circa the 8th of June. (July/August '83 were amongst the hottest on record).

    You was lucky to have shoebox.....

    Very stormy in Castlebar at the moment, plenty of branches have came down already this week, it really does not feel like summer yet.
