Summer 2019 - General Discussion

Beautiful evening here in Castlebar with long clear spells with little or no cloud about

Sunny all day Galway...:cool:

heavy rain moving up from the south,thundery bursts,watch thunderstorms die as they reach the south coast,2/3days of blistering heat in England,then epic thundery breakdown over there ,the pig scour flows in from the atlantic in a westerly flow with the anaemic loop the loop ice cream shadings, this summers going down the ****ter. It was very pleasant for most of April May and june here in the West anyways but id advise anyone to starting booking as long a holiday as you can.


the weekend is looking pleasant enough however.

Cloudy day with light showers in Sligo but got sunny at 920pm ....well at least it wasnt 940pm like last Sunday

More rain tomorrow

May was Summer even though 15c as was Good Friday 22c though it was 7c a few days later.

Beautiful sunny morning in Cork City, makes for a nice change :pac:

Bright in Castlebar, but only 12.4C and feeling colder in a light breeze, a couple of light showers so far this morning as well.

Don't the british met office normally give a reasonably accurate monthly forecast?

Will this summer just peter out or could we get solid good weather for 2 or 3 weeks yet?

It was worrying when the met eireann forecasters were so gloomy a couple of weeks back, like it was a pattern for the summer.

Given the blocking in place at the moment you would expect the westerly pattern to break through at some stage and then who knows.

Mostly cloudy here this afternoon; just had a brief shower; it's currently 16.5C after an earlier high of 17.5C. North Dublin city.

could next week feel tropical,20 degrees at midnight,with bangs of distant thunder...

The British met have forecasted mixed weather for the end of June and into the start of July, I would say with the low pressure moving away from us from next week and the Jet stream forecasted moving north of Scotland from the beginning of July things should be a bit more settled
