Summer vibes
I'm in Tenerife though where theres relatively a lot more summer vibes!

certainly no summer today in Meath, was mostly a cool and very cloudy day with several heavy showers, some late evening sunshine now and ground starting to dry up. Still feeling nippy tho.

Tomorrow likely to be the coolest day of the week, then warming up again for Friday and Saturday.

Anyone fancy a night time thunderstorm next week?

Would love one but I’m going to Spain on Sunday for two weeks so I might miss out on all the fun. Ah I still hope it happens. Sure I can read all the posts about it on the beach. It’d be fantastic if we got a proper thunderstorm with plenty of lightning.

Ecm sunday night.
Long way out yet.

no doubt if this happens, Meath will miss out yet again, we just don't get proper thunderstorms, except maybe once every 25 to 50 years! It's been 34 years since the last one, so perhaps we are almost due one this year!

Funny it seems that we're more likely to get heat waves or a good belt of snow in Ireland than a proper thunder storm....

yep heatwaves or snow storms are way more common than proper thunderstorms in this country.

In a Summer thats offered nothing but a big freeze and rain so far at least thunderstorms are more exciting rain

Think heatwaves are only in India and Greenland this Summer....n parts of Canada n Siberia.

Climate change eh? But wer just getting cool pools most Summers

Quite extreme temperatures coming up from this heatwave, watch out France and Germany.

Not sure how it will affect us here, but certainly quite warm if this model comes true.

OT...

Why is the touch site not working for me, don't know where to ask, sorry.

squarecircles

so unsual to see the bright thunderstorm risk colours flooding over Ireland.
Next Thursday night might be very noisey.

squarecircles

hmm thats a bit concerning.These could be violent thunderstorms.

Won't happen. We'll get the heavy rain alright though.

that's always the way, at least here in Meath, any warm or hot spell we've had get's quickly replaced by a heavy downpour from the Atlantic and cooler air without any bangs or flashes, yet England usually lights up like a Christmas tree. They've already had it several times this summer, including 2 nights ago.

Has anybody else's boards gone all weird?

astonishingly the GFS 06Z has the 20 degree 850hpa isotherm over the country.

A lovely bright day in Castlebar, 15.1C but with a moderate breeze making it feel cooler.

this warm up looks very sudden and short lived, back to fresh conditions very quickly. This mornings run has the possibilites of a 21 to 22C isotherm over Dublin, which is just not going to happen. Imagine if this happened mid August.



On the forecasts not going for high temperatures in Dublin next week, BBC showing 19 or 20C possible next week.

GFS also giving near normal temperatures for Dublin next week, possibly getting to 20C. We'll see what happens.

not great in Cork City. Very heavy showers

Rain has just arrived; it doesn't seem to have produced very much - it's all gone now. It's 15.9C now. The high a half hour or so ago was 18.1C so far.

Gonzo

fairly heavy rain for past half hour, starting to ease now tho.

Rock Lesnar

Sunny all day in north meath, escaped the showers again, was breezy earlier but not now, looks like a grand evening ahead.

No rain in DCC

Clear all your seach history, then log into boards again, should be fine

in all my time looking at the thunderstorm risk charts on the GFS iv never seen such a high chance of activity over Ireland. So rare to see the bright red/orange/yellow shadings over Ireland. Is nobody remotely excited? Met Eireann also highlighting the risk of some thunderstorms as early as sunday night.

SleetAndSnow

really hoping we get some action here in Cork City! Finished exams tomorrow and from then heat is expected to pick up (I think, not really been paying attention)
