Today was overall fairly dissapointing. The wind has not let up at all and dampened the very warm air over us and we ended up much more cloud than what I was expecting. We reached 22C for a few hours earlier in the afternoon when we had some nice sunny spells but the frequency of the cloud prevented temperatures going higher and that wind still had a cooling add on affect.
Today's max temperatures illustrates how poor it's been across the south and west, this is very similar to how the east was last August with an entire month of cool temperatures and low hanging cloud after a very wet and cool July so I can understand the frustration.
Tomorrow will be more of the same, just not was warm as today, temperatures more average everywhere and there will be plenty of cloud so most places will stay in the teens tomorrow.
Tomorrow should be less windy than today thankfully. There will be very little sunshine tomorrow, best chances of some hazy sunshine may be in the south.
Saturday will be an improvement, particularly in the south with less of an onshore wind and more in the way of sun, however it looks like many western and northern areas may stay cloudy.
Sunday will probably be the warmest day of June 2021 with temperatures up to 26C possible in some areas depending on sunshine.
It will stay relatively mild up to Tuesday and then the Atlantic takes over completely from Wednesday with a fairly significant pattern change into a much cooler airmass.0 -

Nowhere had a good July last summer, a month of rain and 14C.
Temperatures here in Meath also struggled throughout August 2020 with endless days of cloud and 15C.
June 2020 started with the two warmest days of 2020 and by June 3rd a cool northerly took over and the rest of the month was showery and the final week of June was a deluge and this continued throughout July. Last summer gave 2012 and the awful summers of 2007/2008 a run for their money.0 -

In all seriousness though, it's been very pleasant but this afternoon and evening' s weather was very odd altogether..like an eclipse coolness hangover, with intermittent blasts of humidity.
Actually very pleasant out tonight. Quite breezy, but definitely a June night. My two Tom cats think it's the cat's pyjamas. Perfect hunting night. Which, if the pubs were open, it would be too. A proper summer's day and night overall. The fields are teeming with life.0 -

We really weren't..
Out of the (very limited) stations available for sunshine data, both Casement and Dublin Apt were the dullest synoptic stations during August in terms of absolute sun totals including only 97 hrs at D.A. which was a new August record.
Gurteen was the dullest in July with 93 hrs followed by Belmullet with 97 hrs and Dublin Apt 104 hrs.
It was the south that was more the 'sunny tropical paradise', at least going by Cork Airport which was the sunniest in both months but still below average.
For the summer as a whole, only Belmullet was duller than Dublin Apt out of the 7 stations listed in the seasonal summary charts, albeit Gurteen was even duller than both with its inland location probably being part of the reason why, and it was the dullest summer on record at D.A. with only 331 hrs (3.6 hrs per day) when a typical 1981-10 summer should have around 494 hrs (5.4 hrs per day), so a remarkable deficiency.
Wherever you were, it was a cloudy to very cloudy summer, even by Irish standards, and I'd rather it be completely erased from existence. The only 'good' moments I can take from it are the Neowise Comet during July and the abundance of good noctilucent cloud displays during the season that were visible when the cloud would fortunately break up.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

Yes but not as we know it.0 -
