Where is our leaving cert weather?

They are probably the only ones who are thankful for such weather, they can get on with their exams without spending half the exam wishing they were outside in the sun.

I hope everyone does great for their exams including sryanbruen and SleetAndSnow who deserve a well earned rest and some much needed sunshine when the exams are over.

He probably memorized the whole thing in 5th year. I can picture him been a teachers nightmare

Best of luck with the exams.

SleetAndSnow

Haha thanks Gonzo! So far so good!

Needless in cork city it's currently getting quite overcast! Have a feeling a shower is coming soon. It's also quite warm but makes studying easier at least!

Not terrible between the showers in east Galway
But they are becoming more frequent

pauldry

Seems to be beefing up again on the latest Met E radar pics. Raining in Nth Louth since yesterday morning at this stage.

starting to brighten up a bit here now. Looking at the pictures of Shannon Airport, looks very different there, blue skies and sunshine on one side and very dark threatening skies on the other. Looks fairly dry there too.

Here in Meath it's still very cool, felt baltic earlier on before lunchtime.

Their is a remarkable and sudden difference in temperatures over central and south-eastern France at the moment, it's about 6 to 8C over the rain zone in central France and about 50 miles further east it's 28C. Not often you get to see such a contrast in temperatures over a very small area at this time of the year!

SleetAndSnow

Raining in Cork City atm for about the last half an hour/45mins. Big drops too

Beautifully sunny evening in West Clare, best one I've seen in at least a week. Only a small bit of a breeze.

I'm still a bit cold though. 13.6c

Rock Lesnar

Still raining in my area of meath

Gonzo

first hints of something finally warmer developing over Ireland, especially western Ireland on 14th of June, it's a long way off and has to be taken with a major pinch of salt. Stays cool up to the 13th, but we may see a dramatic rise in temperatures after that. Fingers crossed.

some variation between east and west on that

It may not happen or be very short lived. The ECM says no with intense northern blocking through the mid to end of June with low pressures lining themselves up with our name on it.

sryanbruen

It's the cruel irony that this extreme blocking is happening now in May and June and it is the same blocking that was signalled by teleconnections and models all winter.

Look at all that wasted warmth out to sea

If the rest of the summer plays out like this, this could be the summer to remember for all the wrong reasons. Let's hope we lose this blocking by July, but i'm not so sure, I think we will need a major pattern shift to get ourselves out of the current setup and unfortunately patterns such as this can stick around for months.

So far this year has been very unseasonal with a mild to warm winter and a cold Spring and now a relatively bitter and deeply unstable start to summer.

Donegal Storm

Still raining in Letterkenny..

Snow shower in D5 not sticking for now

I may not be able to cycle to work all week due to rain, can’t remember this happening before. Did we have weather this bad in winter or is summer more likely to be the rainier season? Shocking stuff though

Summer 2012 saw me getting soaked walking to and from work with depressing regularity.

SleetAndSnow

Woha I knew it was raining heavy for about 20 minutes in Cork City but

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