    Previously, he said that we'd had a enough sun, let the floods begin.
    I didn't sense sarcasm in that comment.

    Cloudy with some brightness developing here at Cratloe, County Clare. Feeling pleasant and dry at 19C. My hometown of Dunshaughlin currently enjoying a nice warm 22C.

    As it appears there will be a fairly dramatic drop in temperatures from next midweek, I wonder if there is a possibility that the low maximum and minimum August temperature records for Ireland could be broken?

    Not bad at all here in Dublin today. Nothing to complain about, I wouldn't mind more of this sunshine/cloudy intervals type of weather.

    It was mostly fine, with a small bit of cloud, the last few hours. The high temperature was 24.3C and with a breeze it was very pleasant.

    What an afternoon/evening in west cork (Rosscarbery area.. just for summer :) ) . Roasting all afternoon and such a beautiful clear evening. Mars is in full view and all the satellites are clear as day whizzing by and shooting stars in tow. Just wonderful. Nothing beats a clear country night in Rural Ireland.

    All I remember from Charley was rain and the media focus. It must have been bad up the country for me to remember the name 31 years on.

    I'm sure we've had worse in recent years?

    I would gladly take a big Greenland high and an autumnal northerly at this stage, at least it would bring sunnier skies. This endless gloom is only eating up valuable time in the final third of summer.
    Anyways, a warm summery August is about as likely as a cold February.

    Oh yeah. I mean we never ever get snowy/cold weather in Feb/Mar in this country do we?
