Up until now for me it was 2006, which was.fairly similar to now.
Any others people remember
Another vote for 1995, it was glorious for the entire summer
1995, 1983, 1976
I remember that summer so well. Every day better than the last and it lasted for ages as well.
This.
1995 was an actual summer season of constant hot weather from June to August, I was around 8 years old and remember it so fondly still. I remember we went to Portugal for 2.5 weeks and the weather was better back home while we were there.
1995, 2006 and 2013 are three I remember. Especially 2006 it was just so warm and dry at night.
1976

1995 was a banger.
2018
2013
2006
2021
2014
Is how I rank the top 5 best summers of my lifetime so far (which ain't much).
May to July 2018 will be difficult to beat, a golden period with the best summer month I've seen - June 2018; 4mm of rain, more than 260 hrs of sun and mean temperatures at least 1-2C above average with a heatwave to finish. August was very disappointing however, as it normally is.
Brilliant July in 2013 with 2 weeks of very fine weather followed by some decent storms and convection by Ireland standards. June had a lovely period early on too whilst August wasn't amazing but passable.
Fantastic June and especially July in 2006 with the last instance of a 30C in Dublin. Another disappointing August.
A good June in 2021 and a contrasting July with quite a poor first 2 weeks but an exceptional heatwave with bags of sunshine day after day (of which we are still currently in when writing this post).
June and July 2014 were both fine months, July at times quite warm. August was exceptionally wet and became cool later on. I could interchange 2014 and 2021 depending on how August 2021 fares - August 2014 was very bad.
2010, 2018? (the year the grass turned yellow from the heat, water restrictions etc), this one and a few in the 90's
