Need a really cold winter as we haven't had one since especially after last year. But after Christmas this time.

Hopefully a strong La Nina, mix with the low solar output and hope we get an Icelandic volcano eruption might help will bring some joy this Winter.

Oh I forgot to reply to this comment. If you saw my predictions back in last December, you saw that I was fairly optimistic on a cold Winter 2016/17 with December being the coldest in 6 years and over 6c colder than December 2015.

This is shaping up for real this time to be an average summer. June had a very warm spell and now July is having a very warm spell. Whilst both months had their very cool moments also. They are very similar to each other.

Btw, my mean temperature for July is now +1.1c above the LTA, RISING FAST!!

2016 has been like this so far.

January: Very wet, mild and dull in most places.
February: Cool, wet and sunny.
March: Cold, dry and sunny.
April: Very cool with dull conditions in many places and variable rainfall.
May: Very sunny, warm and dry.
June: Very warm, wet and dull.
July: Cool, wet and dull so far in many places.

So, 7 months into the year and we have 4 cool months so far (July not over yet) and 3 warm months so far. There are 3 widely wet months with two quite variable ones and 2 dry months so far. There are 3 sunny months and 4 dull months so far.

2016 overall according to these has been slightly cool in some places whilst others have been due to May and June's warmth, much wetter than normal and quite dull in many places but again like temperature, very variable.

My station for example has recorded warmer, wetter and sunnier than normal conditions during the year so far.

There have been no big record breaking months so far as expected. Of course we have some records like the warmest January night on record and one of the sunniest Mays on record etc but nothing big.

From experience out in the weather, January was a mix of very awful moments whilst other times, it was actually very pleasant here, so I can't really rate anything awful or great about it overall. February was much the same as January. March was meh.... despite the dry spell, I have seen much better Marches than 2016. Hell even March 2015 was better! April was god awful, the second worst April I've ever seen after 2012. May was awesome, I loved the month so much. It was the best May since 2010 and my fourth favourite ever. June was pretty much like March like June 2015 was better even though it was colder. July has so far been quite pleasant here and is one of the better especially in comparison with 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2015.

The big difference between this summer and last summer is that last summer was crap for the majority of the country throughout the summer and the eastern fringe of the country held onto fine conditions but the temps never really got much past 23C anywhere in the country, whereas this summer we've already had temperature spikes of 26 and 27C in a few places.

I only recorded 23c or more on June 30th, July 1st/3rd and August 18th last Summer. This Summer so far, I have recorded it on June 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th AND July 15th/16th/17th.

Met Éireann says a minimum temperature of around 16c expected :pac:. It's 19.8c right now at Grange, otherwise, my third warmest night on record.

Its currently 27 in Seville,low 40s all week,43 on Tuesday,feeling like 44.

Makes one laugh,were getting excited by one day of hot weather.

Sad in a way.
So many wasted summers.

Hey in Ireland, there's no problem with getting excited by a FEW DAYS of hot weather (not 1).

A strong breeze here is making it feel much cooler than it actually is. Currently a max of 20.6c.
