    Wet morning here 10 degrees with a real feel of 7 on my run this morning! The forecast is bad for the week. Hopefully we’re getting our quota of bad weather out of the way and June and July come good.

    For once I am actually quite optimistic that June and July will be good this year!

    I'm inclined to agree with you. By then, we'll have been stuck in a cool and often wet pattern for a few months. A major pattern change will be due by then. There are no guarantees though, of course.

    I love your optimism...
    I, for one, am so sick of this cold/cool weather..(I am a very cold creature..)
    Fingers crossed something changes soon...

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying to everyone giving out about current May weather.

    I take this for May if we have a decent summer!

    Horrible day in East Cork. Slate grey skies, lashing rain, cool and quite windy. And more of the same for the week ahead.

    decent day so far in Meath, warm sunshine up to about 20 minutes ago but becoming more cloudy now, could well be showers over the next few hours.

    Monsoon Season arrives early this year in Leitrim.


    Slight exaggeration but this rain is intense.

    first half of today was lovely and felt warm in the sun, after 4pm it's been cold and wet, could easily pass for January or February.

    Is there any sign from the models of some decent weather coming! It’s like something out of late October this morning damp cool overcast at least the wind is gone.

    Sadly not at the moment. This Greenland blocking just doesn't want to bugger off. As long as it's there, it poses a risk of further northerlies bringing cool air from the north.

    As per your username, are you in the southeast of Ireland? If so, May was generally very nice; drier, warmer and sunnier than average. At Johnstown, May was the sunniest month of 2020 by a large amount. It was also the driest month with only 17.7mm recorded there. The mean temp was 11.4°, slightly above the average of 11.1° for May for that location.
