Summer 2022 - General Discussion

Not that the forecasts show anything decent on the horizon for the rest of the month, but Epic Summer 2018 didn't get started till after June 18th. I remember this because Aussie cousins from Perth came over that Summer. Always slagging us about melting in 25ºc heat when they are used to 40ºc+ in Perth and laugh off our explanations of humidity. They attended a cool and drizzley Taylor Swift concert in Croker on June 18th in their wooly hats, scarves and winter coats that they 'Knew' they had to pack for an Irish 'Summer' holiday.

That was the one and only day they wore them because 2 or 3 days later they headed up to Galway, Summer 2018 and truly begun and they were melting in an Irish 30ºc. They had to admit it was harder to tolerate than 45ºc in Perth with a dry Freemantle Doctor. Cousins wife bumped into an old fellow Aussie workmate on the top of Lugnaquilla who also happened to be holidaying in Ireland at the time. They happened to pick a fantastic Summer to make their trip to Ireland. Other than the first 2 or 3 days after their arrival, they had wall to wall blue skies and heat for the several weeks they spent in Ireland and the UK.

Tropical morning, 23C here in south Dublin in hazy sun with a bit of a breeze.

Just can't see us getting a decent summer this year. We had one last yr,rare to get 2 in a row. Nothing too interesting for those that want a warm sunny spell for the rest of this month. Aug will be poor enough as always I'm sure. So that just leaves july. A few days warmth here and there Nothing prolonged imo.

Can feel heat in the air in Dublin. Sun needs to come out or it will miss its moment.

Pissing rain in Sligo this morning!

Sea breeze kicked in now and feeling much fresher out, temperature back to an ideal (for this freckled Irishman) 21C, lovely.

I see Dublin was the warmest spot in Ireland yesterday according to Met Eireann. 24 degrees at Phoenix Park

France and Spain will be in the oven today

Today being the hottest day of the year went up in smoke on Wednesday when the cold front that was suppose to stay in the west until at least dis evening decided to steam roll across the country from the word go instead ruining what would have been a hot sunny day here in Dublin

I'm out in the far west at the minute and last night was a November night. Howling wind and driving rain. Mad stuff for June.

Summer arrived in Cork, around crosshaven etc this morning .. Got up at 8 to enjoy the summer which finished at 10am .. Dark Grey cloud, cool, def temp drop. Looks like rain, which i think is forecast for most of the country today?

So it was a nice summer for the 2 hours or so :D

The dense cloud in Kildare is miserable compared to yesterday.
