Nice/hot weather with no rain this time of year?

The Raptor

Do we ever get nice weather at this time of the year?

I don't want to give up on the summer yet.

Sir Osis of Liver.

No,it's grey again with bouts of that sh1tty sideways rain we only get in Ireland.

Will get good again for a week or two in September.

In 1992 we did.

Great summer.

Think we had a good one in 13 or maybe it was 14.

I hate when people complain about the weather in Ireland.
Its the same every year.

But did you know it was sunny for a whole three months in 1974.

This is nice weather. Your wearing the wrong clothes.

**** as ****, do you think people in Ireland will start to get more depressed about our **** climate with stuff like Instagram bringing to the fore the quality of summers people enjoy throughout mainland Europe and beyond, something that we just don't have.

You can see it in our country, we have absolutely no outdoors culture, it's pretty sad.

SEPT 23 1989

August 1995 is the year you want to set in the time machine

The Backwards Man

We've had a temperate oceanic climate for the last ten thousand years, people only remember the memorable weather.

To be honest I'm glad the awful heavy clammy humidity is being cleared by rain - looking forward to lovely autumn sun and fresher air.

Yeah we do. I'm just back from a day tramping over the mountains. There was loads of people out.

Why are you always so negative?

I'd consider an outdoor culture to be people spilling on into the streets, the majority of Irish culture is indoor focused.

We're long overdue a long, dry, sunny summer. The last was 1995 whereas the one before that was 1989.

People mention 2003 but what I remember of it was that it was just oppressive because it was hot but cloudy and very humid. Yuck. And that hot weather still was just a few weeks in August.

With the string of biblical summers from 2007-2012, I thought we'd never have good summer weather again but thankfully we've had some decent warm, sunny spells since then. They just haven't been long enough.

Wigglepuppy

The sunny warm weather of 2013/14 lasted a good while I thought. And 2006.

Yeah the spell in 2003 didn't last long at all and it was crazy oppressive humidity.

The UK got sun, we got anticyclonic gloom. My folks were holidaying in the UK when the hottest temp ever was recorded over there. If we didn't have cloud cover, I think out record would have been broken too.

Yep, 2006, 2013 and 2014 all had lovely spells. Just weren't long enough though.

The weather is so bad in Ireland that we consider the UK and France to have a good climate lol, to anyone from west coast of america or south america they are grey miserable hellholes.
