a cool start to the first morning of summer but at least it's sunny after a very wet day yesterday.
Not a great June here in Meath but I've certainly seen alot worse Junes. June 2020 was attrocious and set the scene for the rest of that summer.
This June started off like a repeat of June 2020 with daytime temperatures struggling to reach 10C and 2 days of sideways drizzle (the June Bank Holiday weekend). Thankfully after that awful weekend temperatures slowly began to recover and the rain died out for the middle 2 weeks of June. These 2 weeks brought temperatures generally 17 to 19C but we had 3 or 4 days into the low twenties with 23C being the max temperature. The past 6 days have felt autumnal at times (particularly last Saturday evening and all of Sunday). Temperatures weren't too bad over the past week generally 16 to 19C by day but the wind was nasty.
Overall June 2022 I would rate 5/10. A June on the poor side of average, not great but certaintly not a write off from beginning to end. If it wasn't for the 2 week dry spell in the middle and some nice spells of warm sunshine the month would have been much closer to 0.
Yeah that was Autumn 2019 then of course Winter 2019-20. Imagine we didn't have the fantastic spring inbetween those and Summer 2020...
Moderate to heavy showers in Kildare now
Not great here but not bad either. You'd take it.
This month finishes almost level for Sligo
16 good days that were predominantly dry and 14 bad days that rained a lot.
23 windy of breezy days
25 cool daytime days
Temp over 21c 0 days nada zilch
Temp over 20c 2 hours
Temp over 19c 2 days
Temp over 18c 3 days
Rainfall just over 80mm which believe it or not is slightly (only slightly) BELOW average. So not a month that was a washout. Windy and cool describe June 2022.
Thankfully summer so far is nothing as bad as the summer 2020 spell. One of the autumns was very wet too, can't remember if it was 2020 or 2019. But I do seem to remember almost a year long spell of wet conditions and regular deluges. The lawn really was in a state for months on end. One of our neighbours may have had a drainage problem too which would result in even more water than normal entering the garden so it really was a swamp. They got it fixed last summer and I haven't had any soaking garden problems over the past 12 months with so many dry spells.
Makes a change, so used to you reporting about the place being drenched 😂
a nice morning here in Meath, no rain overnight, temperature 17C.
The ground here is still hard as a rock despite some rain last Saturday/Sunday and earlier in the week. We've somehow avoided all the showers over the past 48 hours at Dunshaughlin and I hope this continues over the next few days until the high pressure begins to make it's move next week.
109.5mm at Valentia from 22nd-28th June, almost 500% of the weekly average. Exceptionally wet
It’s summer 2022 😛
Incorrect, SMDs now zero parts of the northwest and midlands; very saturated there and in the midlands on moderate and poorly drained soils.
Edit: I see you edited to say "other than the west right now" 🙂
FWIW, if your garden is like a swamp or waterlogged at the moment, you have drainage rather than weather problems! The ground is nowhere near saturation point in any part of Ireland other than the west right now. Even in the west, it's only poorly drained soil that should be experiencing any issues.
2018 was the absolute scorcher.
You woke up everyday looked out the window and couldn't believe it was still so sunny.
Ah those were the days.
Back to reality and summer 2021, last day of June, its raining again and 14 degrees.
What year did we have the heatwave in Ireland, with Covid lockdowns etc I cant figure it out. Was it pre Covid? Ah remember those blissfull summer days when we had sunshine for weeks...
The 6 year old summed it up the best today.
I asked him did he want a vest under his top this morning for school.
He looked out the window, shook his head and said 'With that weather I think so'🤣
Rained non stop all night even though met site said only showers in Waterford. Garden at the side full of puddles again and like a swamp.
The eastern seaboard areas looks to have finally got a decent drop of very much needed rain overnight, which looks like clearing all areas soon although I see that it has pepped up again in some western and southwestern parts of Dublin city, making it a miserable morning commute for some people on foot/bicycle or using pubic transport.
It was a dry and calm night near Ardagh, Longford. Nondescript morning with some blue patches here and there but there's a lovely clearance on the way soon although I may be on the way to Dublin before it gets here.
Slate grey skies and lashings of rain here in D3 again this morning.
Dry Meath.
Wow the narrow column of stationary precip on the radar from Antrim to Waterford
Miserable morning in Dublin 7. I was planning to go for a walk but I guess I'll to knock that on the head for a while
I don't mind the rain when I'm tucked up in bed
Still raining here in NCD.
I call it middle of the night. Although near the summer solstice, I would describe just before 04:00 as being pre dawn. 😁
Not a drop down here but could see black sky to the north
Dry all day and quite nice this evening
Was out in a t shirt no bother
Reached 20.9C today at Dublin's favourite hotspot, Churchtown.
That shower once it came was relentless, kept going for at least two hours. Garden waterlogged, spot flooding here and there.
Great rainbow though as some have said.
Muggy and cloudy most of the day here in Waterford with some sunny spells, then the drizzle arrived. Ground is waterlogged where the top soil have been lifted and it's pooling with little rain.
Lovely day today and finally no wind, hopefully this continues now and the temperatures pick up a little.
Could see that rainbow from Meath too. Not a drop of rain here all day.
Can be seen in SCD too. Appears to be heavy showers out at sea. They can stay there.
Absolutely stunning rainbow over NCD right now!
