    Absolutely gross, and my quick look at the Arpege yesterday evening suggests this muck will be there all week.

    Horrible, violently humid, thick, grey, mist and drizzle.

    Violently humid

    Can you explain what violently humid means? Don't think I've ever heard that term before. I could picture temperatures in the mid 30s with humidity over 90% as being unpleasant humidity but with temperatures nationwide being currently only in the mid to high teens and those areas in the high teens have lower humidity than areas in the mid teens, I would describe the weather as feeling mild even in the breeze. I couldn't imagine how to introduce the word "violent" to describe the weather at the moment. I'd reserve that word for the more fitting description of force 11 winds or a tornado.

    After a cloudy weekend, occasionally the sun got through, today begins with heavy drizzle.
    Windy and cloudy at the moment.

    Cloudy and windy but warm in Dublin. Looks like it'll be cloudy all week, waste of warm temps.

    ME forecast suggests there will be a huge amount of disappointed folks after the hype job for this week in the media. Hopefully not as cloudy as currently forecast. At least the temperatures will be pleasant.

    you mean the scorching sun and heat plumes Dublin Live has been gaslighting me about aren't going to happen?

    :D:D

    Everyone I have spoken to over the last few days is expecting sun and a heatwave this week. The reach these rags have is crazy when it is genuinely 100 times easier to read a brief ME forecast than a long drawn out article about dusting off the BBQ. And the very loose quotation of ME in said articles means the blame falls to them instead. Although, must say Dublin Live definitely has built a reputation for being utter scutter when it comes to the weather.

    Very dissapointing today, wall to wall cloud cover. Yesterday and all last week were lovely, wasn't expecting so much cloud today.

    Same here I'm NCD. Extremely windy so it's the long summer dress on today!

    Dull with dark clouds all morning but still very pleasant.

    Out in Connemara for two weeks, yesterday evening and today has been wet and windy. Great craic building sandcastles in the rain and paddling in the freezing water with the toddler. She had a wetsuit on so didn't mind. We ran beach races to warm up 😠we are mostly lucky with weather every June out here but looks like this year will be a bit grey. We had a nice weekend though! A few days of sun at some point would be nice though!

    It means both my armpits and hence, my shirt, was absolutely covered with sweat even after walking from the car into work, which takes 15 minutes. This is because I had to wear my work clothes plus my waterproofs.


    It also means that I had to use my emergency deodrant bottle at work, otherwise I would be absolutely stinking once that lot evaporates.


    Well, you did ask :D

    That would not be the worst for me.

    Cool, windy and wet is the worst kind for me!

    I have to laugh no sign of sun all day and it appears now at 7pm.

    Ah well, still had a great day in park and not too busy as most people in work!

    In fairness we had a stunning day in Dublin yesterday.

    Today was a bit nippy at times in wind though.

    Was the same on Sunday, and the forecast tomorrow looks like there'll be no sun till 5 or 6pm. The Gods are cruel.

    Back in work tomorrow so the 5pm/ 6pm sun might actually be perfect for once!

    Warm and cloudy so far in Dublin, there was a light shower earlier. Not the worst weather really nice to not need a jacket at least!
    Edit: 20 mins later it's raining and horrible. Supposed to be better later though.

    Any of you experts have an opinion on what the long term forecast looks like for the weekend of the 18th to the 21st in the Cork area, specifically around Trabolgan.
    Heading down with the family for a few days.

    Thanks
