    June was extremely poor bordering on atrocious, especially the first half of the month. The final few days of June brought a hint of summer and July was decent enough as was the first week of August. The past 2 weeks haven't been great, a few nice days but plenty of unsettled conditions, the past 4 days have been a write off for most of the country.

    The upcoming warm spell has been watered down alot, particularly in the west with spells of rain there over the weekend.

    Will be interesting to see the rainfall totals to end this month. I'm guessing most places will exceed 100mm, with western areas finishing up between 200 and 300mm for the month.

    My local station at Dunsany is currently sitting at 112.6mm which is getting close to double the average August rainfall, and we will have another 8 days of August left.

    Athenry is currently sitting at 217.6mm.

    Even the last week of June wasn't really great for me, mostly cloudy with only about two nice days.

    I didn't really mind June but I will admit that it was a horrible summer month.

    I originally gave June a 1/10 rating and that was generous. We had low to mid teens all the way till June 17th with temperatures not rising above 18C till June 27th. The 28th to 30th broke the 20C barrier. Much of the month was cold, wet and sheets of rain and drizzle until the 3rd week. It really was a dire month and was the 3rd wettest month of the year so far.

    August is currently standing at 114.5mm which is now our wettest month of this year so far, it has beaten the very wet March 2019 which finished at 109.4mm. Despite this high rainfall total, we had a very pleasant first week of August with temperatures in the low 20's and now the past 2 days have been really nice as well with low 20's and plenty of sunshine.

    August (74.7) is still drier than March(93.0) and April(76.2) here although it's getting close to April's value.
