    Where is the global warming we were promised .. miserable weather like winter.

    Could make us a lot colder if the Artic ice sheets melt and has the knock on of cutting off the Gulf stream :eek:

    It's effing roasting in the Arctic right now and cold in Europe, climate change doesn't seem to be rewarding us with nice weather anyway.
    It has stopped raining now for a couple of hours in Dublin, went out for a jog in it around the park and it was actually quite nice and fresh, I don't feel as frustrated by the weather any more!

    Think it was 2019 it was still freezing well into June, not sure we got much of a summer after that at all, hope it's not a repeat

    To my untrained eye, the bulk of Europe looks a lot warmer than the bulk of the Arctic right now.

    A sh*te day in West Clare, but these come along every so often.

    The weather lately hasn't been shocking, it's not been the best, not particularly warm, but fairly frequent sunny spells and no extended rainfalls in West Clare.

    I've been under a weather warning almost everyday for over a week now, at no stage has the weather been anything remotely near a warning level.

    A couple of days ago I saw a graph where it was 30c+ near the Arctic, must have cooled down since.

    Got 12mm of rain here today so far but cyclonic variables are blowing rain against the Northeast facing windows. Strange to see them wet.

    Wind of 115kph in the South today. Just edging into Orange territory. The good weather next week still on. Actually I think Summer or late Spring storms are good for clearing the pattern.....sometimes

    Yeah, one area of the Siberian Arctic was hot, but that was one cherrypicked area. The far side of the Pole (Alaska/Canada) was an equal amount colder than average, but this of course didn't make the cut.

    So I hear this morning that whilst the weather will 'settle down' somewhat from mid next week, that because of the high pressure off Greenland we'll stay in a cooler than normal air flow for god knows how long??

    Marvellous.....

    The "outdoor summer" is going to be an absolute farce if this pattern continues.

    I was just thinking that this morning. Imagine MM standing at his podium today addressing the nation about sticking with outdoor dining and making most of outdoors.

    It wouldn't go down too well.

    The only place I hope to be outdoor dining is somewhere in the med, Greece, Spain etc. It’s not to far from a November’s day today. Ridiculous.

    There is a brilliant sketch online of Vic Dibitetto dining outdoors in weather like today!

    Reading MTCs forecast today.
    He could have fooled me with 75% of normal rainfall.
    69mm so far this month compared to 11 in April.

    I'm sick of looking at grey skies. I wonder could the mods 'make' him give us good weather for a change. :D

    Forecast is in the future dude. That's looking pretty good for next week actually.

    If anything this month I think MT has been pessimistic for the East coast. The last two days aside it has been ok here.
