IMO no, not for exposed coastal locations. Not much happening so I posted it all the same.

Nice day so far here in Arklow, breezy

I can see precipitation way to the south

Milky sunshine and 19c

Supercell · 29-07-2021 3:45pm

Decent enough day here, breezy but got up to 21C all the same. Clouded over now with ocassional milky sun,

appledrop · 29-07-2021 3:52pm

Decent enough day here in NCD.

Had lunch outside at restaurant + it was perfect weather, not too cold or warm.

Yesterday or Tuesday now would have been a different story with rain bucketing down + washing away tables here with the floods!

Raining on and off in North kerry. 6.4mm since midnight. 12.8C 1014hpa

SleetAndSnow · 29-07-2021 5:25pm

Raining since around 2pm in cork city, but it's getting heavier now. Big drops.

Gonzo · 29-07-2021 5:29pm

a much better day here in Meath compared to the past 2 days, temperatures are still a bit on the cool side but at least it's dry.

namloc1980 · 29-07-2021 5:57pm

Absolutely bucketing down here in East Cork. Can't really complain after the amazing weather we had over the last 2-3 weeks.

Sorry to ask but was wondering if you could give me an idea of what the weather will be like tomorrow afternoon in these parts?

pad199207 · 29-07-2021 10:12pm

Bucketing down in S Wexford

Bright spells and scattered showers I'd say

Have you only just arrived down there,its been at it since early afternoon down therr

Very light up here,started about an hour ago

Chris_5339762 · 29-07-2021 10:27pm

Very heavy rain on the radar up over Waterford (red rain on Netweather.... 20-40mm/hr), so likely some flooding there.

RobertKK · 29-07-2021 10:58pm

Some decent rain at last likely for my area in Kilkenny, felt like the driest area in the country for a while now.

What way are ye for grass around your area,Are there any farmers foddering?

fryup · 30-07-2021 10:53am

just day last week i was sweating the mickey off myself and now look 😙 chilly & wet

irish weather heh!

Supercell · 30-07-2021 10:57am

Grass de-yellowing by the minute here!

Gardens needed it, hopefully we will have another bash at summer proper in August (week three would be nice as we are in Wexford that week :D)

RobertKK · 30-07-2021 10:57am

It was probably getting close to it in some areas, though I did hear of at least one case of foddering, the dry land had been showing a lot of stress, where the grass had been eaten down, a mixture of green and brown.

The rain last night was decent so a lot of relief around to see the rain, but more needed to get it really fixed.

Gonzo · 30-07-2021 12:27pm

Miserable morning here in Meath, wet and chilly. This is easily the worst week of weather we've had since May. Rainfall totals for July are now close to 92mm for Dunsany making July the 3rd wettest month of the year so far. This total does not include any rainfall overnight and this morning so we will finish up very close to or at 100mm of rainfall for the month.

What's chilly and wet ? 🤔

I'm not from a farming background, but wondering how farmers in other countries survive. Ireland gets 10 days of summer the place goes into meltdown.

pauldry · 30-07-2021 2:19pm

We usually get 1 day.

Must be Climate Change.

pad199207 · 30-07-2021 2:32pm

Heavens have opened in Naas

Artane2002 · 30-07-2021 2:33pm

November came early this year...

Some parts of Kilkenny did not receive a lot of rain since May. The south of the county got a lot more than the northern part for example.

It was not a case of just a hot week, the hot week just burnt ground that was already very very dry and hard.

It was noticeable on the Sunday farming forecast for a number of weeks that inland south east Ireland had very low grass growth rates compared to the rest of Ireland.

Gonzo · 30-07-2021 3:47pm

Got caught in an absolute deluge in Dunshaughlin, so much for this weekend looking a bit dryer. Easily 5 or 6mm of rain fell in just 15 minutes, lots of surface water and spray on the roads. Horrible conditions out there.

Massive downpour here in Dublin. Miserable. Holidays coming up in mid August, surely we’ll have an improvement by then

My cousin just sent me a video of the Dublin downpour, the one here earlier in Dunshaughlin was probably worse. Unfortunately for August we look more or less locked into a 2 weeks spell of conditions similar to last July or August. There are still signs of things warming up and settling down but this is unlikely to happen until the middle or second half of August. The long term models are looking at warm and high pressure for the first week of September when the kids go back to school. You can nearly always bank on the first to second week of September having lovely summer style weather.
