    Just curious what does that phrase mean - sky touching the ground

    It means
    Dull misty/foggy
    You could poke the rain out of it with a stick

    Just looked at the SAT image and said to myself, wonder has Mortelaro reported Blue skies in Arklow on boards yet? :D

    Should clear in Bray within the next hour.

    Dull morning in cork city with some blue patches in between the clouds and seem to be getting more prominent. No wind today and about 16 degrees which is the warmest for a while! Humid too about about 88%

    another damp, dark and chilly day in Meath, was expecting somewhat better than this, no different to yesterday. Currently 13C. The only thing missing is the wind of the past few days.

    Another miserable rainy day. Ground is now saturated from all rain over the last few days.

    Was hoping today would see a proper improvement in both temperatures and sunshine but it's just more of the same again. Perhaps later it will brighten up and the temperatures will finally start lifting.

    The clearance is getting close. Have patience. Has not got to me just yet but expecting a major change within the the hour.

    Where are your located? I'm not aware of any part of the country having saturated ground. Saturated ground at this time of the year is not a common occurrence, more especially away from the mountainous areas of the west.

    Once we get this clearance the next week doesn't look too bad for eastern parts, it will be quite an improvement on the past 5 days in general. We may all have a few dry and settled days next Wednesday to maybe Saturday with conditions kind of similar to last Monday. That GFS is really settling things down again and the unsettled conditions on the UKMO and ECM look pushed back a day to two towards the end of next weekend.

    Maybe there is a lot of standing water due to the downpours?
    It seems the wet weather is going to shift south and west over the next couple of days so those in the east might get a bit of relief.

    Just scrolling through the past 10 pages or so this morning, I don't think many of you east coast lot would survive more than a week in the west if a few cool damp days drive you to dispair and depression after nearly 3 months of sunshine

    Maybe Met Eireann need to employ someone who can actually look out the window at the actual weather rather than their nonsense predictions. It would be much cheaper than Meteorologists!


    Raining early this morning + their app for Dublin was sunshine with clouds. I was like what planet are they living on. Now hopefully it will take up later but still crap at 1pm with very dark clouds so their app is a joke.

    Not a bad day here in Castlebar. Warm and humid. Mostly cloudy but pleasant all the same.

    Oh I know I wouldn't last 5 mins in West. I tell you though Dublin gave West a run for their money this Nov + Dec with amount of rainfall.


    I know we shouldn't be complaining but when you live in Dublin being limited to 2km + 5km was very restrictive on nice places we could visit. No we can go to so many places but weather is ruining it! We are going to zoo tomorrow which is booked out for next two months. Is it too much to ask for day to be dry?

    The weather we've had here in Meath over the past 5 days we don't get too often in the summer. 5 continuous days of cold, temperatures of no more than 12 or 13C, no sunshine and a cold dampness that gets under your skin. We had this for about 2 weeks last June, again this was from north-easterly winds and lashings of rain with very similar temperatures.

    Some summers can be terrible with the Atlantic on steroids but even during those summers it rarely gets as cold and as constantly damp as the past 4 days have been in this area. We would usually get warm spells of sunshine between the rain or showers.

    Looks like the worst may be almost over here now with warmer and dryer conditions on the way!

    House lights and car lights on at 1pm mid June
    The month is ticking away

    Hopefully we get a sustained summer spell this summer .
    And hopefully people won’t be wishing it away after a day.
    If only there were ways to harvest all the rain water that falls annually here to see farmers through a few weeks of dry weather in summer

    Hmm no, the Dublin hourly forecast was showing rain up until about 11am, with gradual brightening throughout the afternoon. Which is exactly my experience here in Dún Laoghaire. The sun is out now and it’s very bright and warm, if still pretty cloudy.

    still dank, grey and damp here in Meath, current temperature 14C, so temperatures are beginning to climb now at least. Hopefully the cloud and mist will break later in the afternoon and temperatures rise further.

    Blue sky for the last hour and a bit in cork city but fading away now and getting cloudy. Walked the shop, it's very heavy, humid, warm air atm. Sweating from the short walk!

    We are the exact same. Met Eireann wrong again.
