a cool start to the first morning of summer but at least it's sunny after a very wet day yesterday.
Those depressing grey clouds covering us would want to pi$$ off, couldn't care less what temp it was just want clear blue skies at this rate.
Yet another damp grey cool morning.
Cool and wet. Dark. Nothing changes.
Cold, grey and breezy on the west coast this morning, almost 8 straight weeks of poor weather now, maybe 4 or 5 reasonably nice days since the first week of May, no real beach days yet.
It's not cool here in Sligo. Its cold. Windy and cold as 3 of the 4 days of July have been so far and 24 of June were.
It's definitely a La Nina influenced Summer.
Bit of a bland morning in Wexford but couldn't care less with the weather that's coming up. Finally summer! Bring it on
Breezy cool dull DCC
If you're on the coast of course or within 5kms,there'll be a cooling sea breeze
Nice enough evening for South Laois, but a coolish breeze of 8mph holding temperatures around 15c.
A decentish day here in Meath. Sunny spells throughout the day and a very nice evening here too, however that wind certaintly took the edge off the temperatures.
Can’t get over every late afternoon and evening their always seems to be a cool breeze. Had to wear a warm hat this evening and an extra jumper out in the field.
Hopefully less in the way of cold evenings going forward. It's only going to get warmer from tomorrow.
Looking forward to tonights GFS pub run, a fair chance it will make an absolute show of itself later like it did on Saturday night.
Pure Puke weather in the Northwest 🤢. Wet, wetter and wettest. Very depressing!
Yup. And 14 to 19c till September. Was 14.2c when I went running this evening and 12.1c when I finished. Last July our lowest day temperature was 16c. This year its 12 to 15c each day. Only windy cloudy nights are preventing a headline making Summer in the Northwest for cold reasons. It's even colder than 2011. It's strange though really I notice this most Summers. The weather gets stuck after the 1st week of June and this year its stuck in cloudy cool days for the past 5 weeks bar a week of very wet cold weather. I'd say the best weather we got in 2022 was a couple of days in March which got near 18c and had sun and one or two near Easter. May was cold and cloudy June was cold n cloudy and now July is cold n cloudy...oh and windy too. Its depressing. Even sunny n cold will do now. Today was dark at 9 due to slightly earlier sunset and banks of misty cloud rolling in. Can't afford heating so we put blankets on us to quell the chill.
Pretty depressing viewing the forecast for the next week or so here in the north west. Just hoping for something a bit better for mid/late July. Need that HP to bump up a bit further north.
Yes the last proper sunny day in Donegal was two weeks ago(that famous Monday)and even then it had completely clouded over by 4.30/5pm. And before that I can’t even remember. I don’t even care about temperatures, just a couple of sunny days would be nice.
Grey, gloomy, depressing, 2+ months of pure pi$h.
Same old same old this morning. Drizzle dull overcast fog. I feel for people holidaying at the moment it’s no wonder the airports are choc a bloc! I know there’s better weather on the way but we’d need a few really warm sunny weeks to rescue this.
Suns out in Arklow
17c atm
Not so bad at all
Wet and Dark. It rained last night and we have a light drizzle this morning. Dark grey steel clouds.
Leitrim
Yea seems like a distant memory now.
I find it worse when we just get gray drizzly days with a cold breeze with no proper rain, because you just know that it's probably the best we will get before the rain returns.
Have had to keep the jacket on most days when going outside so far this summer.
Hopefully we may get something if the HP moves up, but so far looking like most the country might benefit bar us up here in the north west.
Fine morning in Greystones too. Partly cloudy. 16.5c atm.
Is there actually sunny weather on the horizon for Dublin? Just shows as cloudy but a bit warmer for the next week or so on any forecasts I can see. Am home this coming weekend, going to get quite hot here in London.
At less it's dry but getting pretty fed up of grey skies and a constant breeze.
Today is 14c again but maybe we will get a degree or 2 warmer and the rest of the week a bit warmer again. Met Eireann has Saturday and Sunday 22 to 24c in their forecast. I predict it will finally get over 21c on Saturday in the Northwest for 2022.
18.3c here in Arklow now and quite Sunny
The Northwest and west and Midlands will be sweltering by the end of next week,looks like
We here will be in the cool of the sea breeze by then
19.4c in Arklow
Some news on the dreaded large Azores high in Winter
The researchers found that winters featuring “extremely large” Azores highs have increased dramatically from one winter in 10 before 1850 to one in four since 1980. These extremes also push the wet weather northwards, making downpours in the northern UK and Scandinavia more likely.
“The number of extremely large Azores highs in the last 100 years is really unprecedented when you look at the previous 1,000 years,” said Dr Caroline Ummenhofer, at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, and part of the research team.
“That has big implications because an extremely large Azores high means relatively dry conditions for the Iberian peninsula and the Mediterranean,”
The new research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, analysed weather data stretching back to 1850 and computer models replicating the climate back to AD850. It found that, before 1850, extremely large Azores highs occurred once every 10 years on average.
From 1850 to 1980, the frequency was once every seven years, but after 1980 this rose to every four years. Data showed that extremely large Azores highs slash average monthly rainfall in winter by about a third. Further data from chemical analysis of stalagmites in caves in Portugal show that low rainfall correlates closely with large Azores highs.
Grey pish cork city
Bright and warm in Galway. Lovely evening in store I feel. Looking forward to the dry calm weather coming up. Lots of kayaking planned.
