Something to cheer you all up, looking at my weather records for the last few years would imply that its likely we just passed peak summer, maybe some warmer blips but ..from here the sweating mostly stops.
Check out last years temperatures progression to see what I mean.

What sweating?

If you were sweating during the July just gone you must be in a bad way lol.

It was not a warm couple of weeks and most nights got down to well below 15 degrees (the definition for a sweaty night imo).

A dry and bright morning in Castlebar, 18C already.

Dry, sunny morning in West cork with little wind. Warm in the sun but chilly when it does go behind s cloud and the wind picks up a bit.

Very similar in the city. Few spots of rain at lunchtime but brightened up again quickly.

Lovely sunny day at Old Head beach in Mayo but cirrus cloud starting to thicken up a bit.

Definitely clearer down west, drove up today and back down just now. Clearer here, but less humid and more of a cooler sea breeze. Both very pleasant and acceptable

Nice dry day in Dublin.


Great to see everyone out enjoying the day.


Still very little sun but sure we are used to that at this stage.

Donegal Storm

Not a bad weekend on the whole around here, was out on the west coast today and while it was chilly in the sea breeze it was at least dry and relatively bright so could still get out to do some exploring.

Back to wind and heavy rain tonight and tomorrow I see, just to remind us not to start getting notions :rolleyes:

Was it here someone posted a couple of weeks ago about some farmer in Meath predicting the weather to settle down in August. They could be right after Wednesday

Danno

Watery sun here from the warm front out west.

Oscar Bravo

Should be a nice Full Moon to your east in the next 30 minutes Danno. To cloudy here.

About 3 mins of sun here in total here today, and that accumulated from a few, well spaced out 3 to 5 second spits and spats before 1pm. Sky overwhelmingly overcast this evening to the point of looking quite ominous.

PS, is anyone else finding this forum kinda 'glitchy' this evening? When I clicked on 'last post' in this thread it led me back to posts that were posted days ago.

Quite a lot of sun and warmth in North county Dublin today

The website has been a pain in the arsenal the past week or so. They should get the finger out and do something about it. They're not responding on their Twitter account and no updates. According to them all is fine and dandy.

Terrible morning in North East Laois. At the moment its hard to see where the sttled conditions are. Clouds darkness damp and windy.

amadangomor

Been through every Irish summer imaginable but can't remember so many dark days.

If you woke up from a coma and had to guess which month it was, looking out at that morning you would guess December.

(5th time trying to post this!!!)

It rained most of last night and it's raining still.

Donegal Storm

Like a winters morning in Donegal, utterly miserable

SleetAndSnow

Heavy showers all night in West cork and drizzling all morning so far. Rotten.

Question: Is August the least likely time of year to have high pressure over Ireland?

The very definition of an increasingly rare Irish day - a soft one!
