    So 5 weeks of not really terrible weather amounts to our summer. God I can't wait to retire...

    Some nice sunny spells this evening in Dublin after a blustery day with numerous bouts of showers.

    If this comes to pass, needless to say that would be way below normal for this time of year. Anyone know what the lowest maximum August temperature record is?

    -2.7C in Wicklow in 1964, but not sure what hour that was and I doubt it stayed around that for the whole day.

    August low max records at the following long-term stations.

    Casement Aerodrome; 12.0c on 25 Aug 1986
    Claremorris; 11.7c on 25 Aug 1986
    Cork Apt; 12.1c on 28 Aug 1963
    Mullingar; 11.4c on 25 Aug 1986
    Oak Park; 11.8c on 25 Aug 1986
    Shannon Apt; 13.0c on 23 & 25 Aug 1986

    Can see the vast majority of these were when Ireland was being hit by ex-hurricane Charley in August 1986.

    Watched the bbc news 24 weather for the week ahead and the outlook is grim. Even the presenter said “this might be a forecast you’d expect in October”

    A strong jet just to the south of us resulting in a conveyor belt of lows coming from the Atlantic. We are on the cool side of the jet too which probably explains the 14c predicted by Met Eireann for next Monday. August delivering utter crap again. No doubt September will be warm and sunny though. Why can’t we have it the other way around for once.

    I'm trying to think what summer past was the most similar to this summer, 2004 maybe? Anyway it wasn't a bad summer compared to some of the horrible summers from 2008-2012 but most people are disappointed with it because they are comparing it to last year.

    No of days with a negative NAO readings (at 500hPa) for the last 5 summers:

    wdnEtZT.png

    Keep in mind that the data for the last 4 summers is complete (up to Aug 31st) while data for this year is only up to yesterday the 6th. I have seen seem talk, particularly on UK based outlets) that the mostly -NAO readings this summer night be down to the current ongoing 'Solar Minimum', but having checked, high number of -NAO days in both 2015 and 2016 occurred during a high solar spot output. Having said that, it is notable just lengthy the current -NAO spell is, and is likely to continue up to the middle of the month at least.

    It could be 28 degrees and dry, if the skies are mostly grey, I just don't count it as a nice summer. If you thought it was nice then I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    I am in Dublin and I didn’t find the sky mostly grey . I really enjoyed July in Dublin , outdoor living , patio door open all day , sun chairs out to sit out and read
    We had a pool out for grandkids and they got lots of days in it . I thought it was a very nice July and even today was unexpectedly pleasant here

    Don’t see the comparison with 2004 at all. June that year was anticyclonic and very warm up until the final week when it decidedly turned really wet and even stormy at one point. July was quite cool and changeable throughout. August was a very warm but extremely wet month especially in the south and east - the north and west tended to be drier.

    If there’s a close-ish year, it would be 1991. A relatively cool to close to average temperature but very dry May followed by a cool and wet June, mild to warm but dull and mainly dry July. August 1991 began changeable but became very settled and warm later going into September.

    Yeah but it was sunny most days so what’s the problem or must it be constantly sunny?? Even today was meant to be grim and it’s 21 degrees and sunny. Very under rated July in my opinion

    July was more overrated than underrated to me. There has been a lot more positive comments on here than negative (which is not usually the case). August 2010 was super underrated, not overly warm but a lot of sunny days and dry weather that you could easily get out and enjoy. I found September 2018 great and ideal unlike September 2016 which I hated. Many sunny days I can recall and Storm Ali was a blast.

    This discussion on Summer 2019 is getting ever more tiresome. Can we just accept that we have different opinions on it?

    It was partially overcast most days, there were spells of decent sunshine breaking through from time to time. I was working outdoors last summer and I remember there being more a good bit more clear skies and sunshine hours overall.

    Even when the sun has been out this summer, there's still been too much cloud cover, right now I'm in Dublin and it's dry and warm with some sunshine but there's big dirty clouds rolling across the sky too.

    I do sometimes wonder why people diss Ireland's weather all the time
    I can understand bad spells and what's been going on in Donegal and to a lesser extent in the coastal counties of the west

    We don't have Bali's climate
    If you want that you may go there and stay there
    You'll soon miss an awful lot of wonderful things about Ireland though
    It does depend what part of Ireland you live but honestly, with few exceptions I've had plenty of nice summer weather here near Arklow in the last couple of decades
    Today was a classic beach day
    Not a drop of rain,a nice tonic ahead of the overnight into friday onslaught

    fully agree, people go to Spain and the continent for a reason, do not expect the same when you come back or stay in Ireland.
    We are having a nice "Irish" summer.
    Last year was very much the exception.

    There's a huge difference between the weather in Arklow and that in the West or Donegal to be fair.

    I'm in Dublin and think the summer has been OK by Irish standards (somewhat poor by most other country's standards I'd imagine though).

    However I wouldn't be saying that if I were in Galway or Kerry, for example, where it's been far cooler and wetter.

    There'll be lots of heated debate on here come September about how good or bad this year's summer has been but it'll come down to two main things IMO:

    1. Your location, in particular how far East you are. Those in Dublin and Arklow will probably think the summer has been OK.
    2. The value you place on sunshine - some people think mild, dry but cloudy days are perfect, while others will place a far higher value on actual sun shining

    I think the west, south west and north west can be very wet but I definitely think the weather in the east and south east of Ireland is under rated. By the way people moan you would swear it rains every day. The reality is different with far more dry days than wet days. I can’t recall more than one day since early July that I got soaked going to or from work

    Today has been a grand day to be honest. Second half of May, first half of June and first half of July didn’t offer many days or evenings like this in my locality of Dublin (I’m not asking for peace blue sky days as some on here would assume :rolleyes: ). I’ve been loving August so far with decent amounts of sunshine and daytime temperatures haven’t been doing badly either. Obviously, most of Ireland has been faring very differently though.

    Last summer is not a good comparison because it was exceptional.

    I'm in the west, and while it is much wetter than over areas, rainfall has come largely in short, intense bursts for most of this Summer. There has been far more dry days than wet ones, and sunnier days and evenings have been far more common than outright dull, overcast ones.. It hasn't been cool either, and any cooler temps have been well offset by the oddly high humidities of this season.

    Experientially, I would class this as a pretty average, if very warm feeling summer overall, with little in the way of any notable day to day difference. But more importantly, and not unlike last year, a below average season for thunderstorms.

    I honestly don't get the fascination with sunshine. Nothing like a beautiful, sunny and warm morning for sure, but personally speaking, I find afternoon sunshine to be too harsh and unappealing for my senses.

    Like you, I'm very sensitive to sunlight but nevertheless, I still manage to love a good sunny day whatever the season. Usually, I'm in my best mood on sunny days and so are a lot of people that I know. As I said in a post that you quoted, sunshine motivates me to go out and do things I wouldn't otherwise do or places I wouldn't go to. There's just a sense of joy I get that everything's just perfect on a sunny day and a very sunny day is a premium in Ireland so feels extra special to me when we do get one. That's also the reason why I do feel guilty if I waste one like I used to a lot of times but now I try to make the most of them.

    Its hardly a mystery why people enjoy sunshine, as well as all the above it just makes the outdoors far more vivid and colourful compared to the usual near monochrome greyness. Everyone and everything just feels more 'alive' on a good sunny day as well.


    Back here, it turned out an alright evening in the end, rain cleared up to leave a calm reasonably bright end to the day

    Just back from holidays so just wanted a dry day which I got. Managed to get 4 loads of washing on the line+ dried. The odd rain shower but grand + very pleasant when sun came out.

    For those of you who love thunder storms we had an unreal one on holidays in Lake Garda. Went on for hours + was unreal!

    California or Spain it is for you so.

    Contrary to yourself, too much sunshine makes me narky and irritable and afternoon sunshine in particular lacks a certain pleasing aesthetic to me. Also contrary to your own observation, I find most people to be more relaxed, mellow and less frivolous during calm, cloudy and dry weather. Perhaps other people are in a better mood during sunshine, but perhaps peculiarly, I couldn't care less about what mood other people are in if they hold no relevance in my life. I realize that sounds s a bit harsh, but really it isn't meant to be.

    The biggest issue with the lack of sunshine is in the garden for me, you can nearly tell more about how your summer is going by how certain old standards are blossoming, I nearly had a 5 week hibernation period between the end of June till the last week of July, I had plenty of buds but nothing blossoming due to the majority of days in July being overcast with an hour or so some evenings with good sunshine.

    Then you have the other issue of the quick torrential downpours decimating whats left of what bloomed in the early summer, the 17th of July doing it in about 5 minutes, thankfully though this year even though it has been very humid most days, botrytis has not been an issue like recent years.

    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWN!

    This list I mean! I was offline a few days as my computer died but just more of the same here... working on an ancient one that makes treacle flowing uphill look fast...lost my gmail and cannot connect to my weblog.... ah well

    A gentle, quiet morning out here in the wide Atlantic. Watching the rose hips redden and the blackberries starting to show colour and jam making not too far ahead... Love the changing seasons. They are our bedrock ... whatever they bring they bring. But autumn is special.. Already I cannot take an early walk before 5 am.... So utterly quiet now... Love these early hours...

    All is well. All is happening as it should.
