Mostly cloudy now in Glasnevin with a bit of sunshine. It's 20.7C now. There was more sunshine a short while ago. The high was 22.4C in the last hour. There's been no rain yet.

It's mostly clear and sunny now. It's quite breezy. The current temperature's 21.6C.

Has there even been 10 days with uninterrupted sun in Dublin this summer?

Lashing in Galway. Don't want to go to bus stop.

Having spent periods of time in some large cities such as London and elsewhere - I was always interested in the way that they can affect air quality and local weather.

Obviously location such as on the coast is also a significant influencing factor. One thing that I've noticed is that whilst Dublin may not be noticeably warmer than surrounding areas - periods of rainfall can be very heavy and potentially disruptive imo. Just my own experience though. Do these observations hold up to weather record data I wonder?

What does it matter if there is uninterrupted sun. We live in north west Europe! If I was offered this summer every year I would take it, partly cloudy, mostly dry and temps every day in the low to mid 20s. Of course uninterrupted sun would be super but dry and warm I would take every single time

Wouldn't be surprised if there was reports of flooding after this. Road gutters can barely cope.

LoxontheRox · 05-08-2019 04:15PM

Torrential showers today in north clare...you wouldnt put a dog out in it!

Agreed 100%. Last summer, great as it was, had me exhausted by the time the heat finally let up.

I have enjoyed July this summer, with it's partly cloudy but warmish days. I find as I get a bit older, temps from 21-25c are perfect for my comfort, and I enjoy some cloud-cover on the warmest days.

Overall, I really enjoyed summer 2019 and hope it lasts like this for a while longer.

That’s not the point I was making.... I was simply having a tongue in cheek with a poster’s question. Most days have been cloudy rather than partly cloudy up until mid-July in my part of Dublin (and have you seen much complaints from me since then?). No use for warmth if it’s not sunny. If it’s gonna be cloudy, I’d rather it lash but of course that’s a very unpopular opinion.

February is still my favourite month this year and that is solely because of sunshine.

Slashermcguirk · 05-08-2019 05:05PM

No use for warm if not sunny, not sure I agree there. It has been sunny a lot of the time in north Dublin this summer but tends to be cloud ok and off too. Still give me warm and dry any day over wet muck

2nd day in a row that rainfall totals have breached 20mm here locally.

Not the driest opening week to August.

Mobhi1 · 05-08-2019 05:51PM

It was a nice day in Glasnevin. Some sun and cloud but some very sunny periods, like now. There was no rain here today, luckily hearing reports from other parts of the country. It's currently 19.9C.

Sunshine gives me motivation to go out. At least with rain, I don’t feel guilty that I’m not, also love listening to it falling if it’s intensely heavy.

I’m in Dublin 5 right now and this is a grand evening. Some sunny spells and mostly cloudy. I’m fine with this but I hadn’t even seen many of these days before mid-July. The period since mid-July in Dublin I’d give a 7 or 8/10.

Well thats what id call an absolutely dire summer!

The rain in Galway is really heavy this afternoon. and is still ongoing. Saw plenty of roads starting to flood as we left the city two hours ago, Oranmore / Maldron Hotel roundabout towards Claregalway looks bad, as were numerous other spots on the dual carriageway.

You don't have to feel guilty for not going out when it is sunny if you don't feel inclined to do so.

Looks like some very heavy rain to come in the next few hours and could have a few thunderstorms moving in from the coast too.

Is that for Galway/Connacht area or the whole country?
