    What a day!

    55.6mm just measured from the manual gauge since rain began about 19.30 yesterday evening here near Tralee.

    More or less raining the whole day with big showers what seems around every 15 mins. Lost count how many times I got wet today.

    Tomorrow looks a lot better and hopefully not too many showers, wouldn't mind going to Foynes airshow.

    Enjoyed the downpours earlier on today. I seriously don't understand why a bit of rain makes people so miserable. We'd be nothing without it.

    I just hate it when it's nothing remarkable.

    Ah jaysus come on! I know you have to make the best of a bad lot but saying we'd be nothing without all our rain has to be a classic.

    I assure you we'd be plenty without it. Happier, for a start!

    Yer wan on dweather on (are te, i always called it or te
    e) said Monday would be beautiful but it was the weird one Joanna who seems to have weather turrets.

    She just blurts out stuff randomly

    Also hate when they say weather is going to be good as they do, as two days ago Sligo was getting 21c on Saturday with sun, then they changed it to 19c with a few light showers, now its 18c with heavy showers by evening.

    Why not just promise bland normal weather and then when the day comes it wont be as disappointing when my kids birthday is raining. Though I did tell everyone coming that Met Eireann said its going to be 21c so the worst it will be is 17c

    Also they dont seem to be as wrong on Saturdays as Sundays

    Cant be as Wintry as today when it was 11c and 12c apart from 7pm when it shot up to 15.6c

    Love Joanna's informative forecasts, however she still needs some work on speaking on TV!

    Fresh breezy autumnal feel again this morning hopefully it will pick up during the day. What's the trend for the next 7-10 days?

    At the moment next thurday Friday and Saturday is a repeat show
    Happy summer everyone

    How on earth can you say that ? Weather forecasts lately have been so unreliable and unpredictable ?

    I took last Wed off cos it had been forecast the previous week as dry and hot - it lashed rain all day and was cool.

    Today was meant to be wet all day (forecast Thursday) .....but the sun is splitting the stones here in East Meath 😎😎😎😎!

    It's crazy to write off an entire summer and be that negative - I think we've all had some stunningly beautiful days this summer - even my sister who lives in donegal would agree !!

    I said "at the moment"

    I dont live in East Meath I live in East Galway
    Same country different weather
    I've had this argument with another Leinster inhabitant before I won't have it again

    Fine up until Tuesday with well scattered showers. Looking unsettled again then with a very wet day on Wednesday in some places.

    Well Met Eireann say heavy showers in East but to me Sligo and Ulster are not in the East and they are going to get showers.

    21C in Castlebar and feels quite close out despite the low humidity, makes a change from the last two days, its turning out to be a average summer here with a lot of rain and overcast days yes, but we have had some beautiful days and quite pleasant days peppered through as well.

    Overcast but bright in Donegal with a few short sunny spells, not a bad day.

    July is turning out ok here, a few shocking days but on the whole probably about average

    Turned out to be a great day in clare. Massive improvement over past 2 days with warm sunshine and blue skies. Things finally starting to dry up after all that rain.
