Just shows the difference two sides of the city can have for future reference!

I was living in London at the time but we always got stretches of warm sunny weather there.

Oh shtop, I’m envious of London’s climate. I lived in the south of England one summer. It was during the awful string of summers from 2007-2012. It was below normal summer where I was living and it was still noticeably a good deal balmier than Ireland. I got athlete’s foot that summer because of constantly wearing runners in the warmer climate. There is rarely a summer in Ireland that that would happen.

You'd be shot for less for giving that lad attention on this forum!

Up to 24.7mm of rain for June. Seems a bit on the low side considering its been raining for the past 32 hours non stop.

After rain falling about 5 times for the first 28 days of May 5 of the past 8 days have been raining ALL day

Up to 2200, Ballyhaise has recorded approximately 55.5mm of rainfall in total between yesterday and today. Its max today was only 10.9c (after 10.6c yesterday).

34 hours of non stop rain in Sligo now

But hourly rate has been quite low

Went running tonight and it kept raining but I was by no means soaked

Total of 17mm so far in Sligo from the 34 hours would suggest 0.5mm per hour

It lashed yesterday for an hour prob 3mm but then lighter so maybe my rain gauge is ok. I hv 2 and they both have 16.5mm and 17mm on them though Markree has double this. However when I look at hourly reports there the past 2 days there is much heavier rainfall rates

8.3C here in Tralee, at least it has been bright and dry for much of the day though . Was out doing a job up on a ladder this evening and the bite in the breeze and cold off the metal was amazing for the time of the year.


Sunshine and showers in Killarney this morning /early afternoon and much brighter evening back at home near Tralee.

Any chance you could give a more in depth forecast for Saturday please?
Two big outdoor concerts on in Slane and Malahide, so plenty of interest!

When's the last time we've had a summer this bad? It's been feckin miserable.

Just back from Granada where it was a steady 30 degrees and fresh in the evening. Came back to 11 degrees. Now I understand the Spanish who were giving out about our "summers" in Ireland. Though it does get to extremes there in August...

To be fair, this isn't standard. Weather was much different around this time last year!

It's only been 6 days... too early to call a whole season bad.

Would you love to be relaxing in Fairview Park right now like you were on 6th June last year?

Exceptional day in Dublin! No clouds at all and not overly warm. Currently relaxing in Fairview Park!

That was the freak weather, this is normal summer weather if not a little bit cooler than usual. My memories of summers in Ireland are blustery showery crap making it hard to do anything outdoors, with a week or so of proper summer days.

Not really that normal, places have been seeing 10/11c max yesterday and Tuesday. Average June max is around 15-17c.

15-17 though isn't exactly picnic weather!

I mean't to include May in this.

If you were to include it it surely ranks among the worst.

I think by now we've usually had some summery weather in May and it feels like the season has actually began. Not this year though.
