a cool start to the first morning of summer but at least it's sunny after a very wet day yesterday.
Blue skies in Sligo. Leitrim must be getting a raw deal Rio.
Very overcast in Dublin…
Not a bad morning in Kildare with good sunshine
lovely day in Navan today, nice to see the blue skies again....
Another cloud filled morning.
Leitrim.
Despite the peak mean temperatures being recorded in the 3rd week of July I always feel August can deliver sun and heat.
August 1995 had a mean temperature of 18.9c in Kilkenny Station. That's the warmest month recorded here isn't it?
I'd say this Summer is still a work in progress and it's been quite dry. Rainfall is below normal in all the country. Wind has died down somewhat in July and temperatures have improved but its been one of the dullest Summers in the West and North for many years. Dunno if sun shining through white cloud counts as sun when you can barely make out your shadow. There will not be the usual August washout in 2022 methinks. Maybe normal rain at worst.
Very cool overcast morning in Kerry, went to work and found it hard to warm up and to take my jacket off so much so by lunch time I was getting concerned I had Covid and did a test ! No covid just the older building I was in had really cooled down recently. Did get up to around 18C for a short time with a few drops before falling away again, nice bright night though so will excuse the cooler evening.
Another anticyclonic gloom day across S Laois, but the plus for me is no breeze. I'd take this over a sunny+windy day.
Temperatures more or less hit the same 17c to 18c range again today, really on the poor side for July.
Tried to rain but nothing came of it.
South of the English Channel
Where is the sun 🥲
Another day of thick grey cloud here in Leitrim.
May was nice in Kerry. I'm always manic busy in my job in May but I always remember rain and there wasn't that much and how I dress and I was dressed lightly all through May. It all went downhill in June here in Kerry. I've been away quite a bit and I've probably missed most of the good bits, but overall it's been a poor, to at best, average summer so far here. In my opinion anyway.
likewise here. It’s been a decentish July. Probably 10 good days 10 average by which I mean at least it stayed dry!! and the rest meh
July has been a vast improvement on May and June in Sligo well bar that first week when it was dark and misty. Sunshine is low but its a lot warmer than Baltic June was.
Just shows you how bad normal is! Here in the south east coast it’s another day of grey slate cool and showers nearby. Hate this weather
Well below normal in the Northwest and North close to normal in inland West away from coast and slightly above normal in the rest of country and above normal in the Southeast.
Can't remember the last time I opened the curtains to blue skies, seems to be a near permanent blanket of cloud this summer.
I know we have hardly any sunshine recording stations but would anyone know how we're looking for the summer so far? Surely well below normal
A chilly 23c in St Brelades Jersey. Different horses , different courses. This would be a cracking day in Ireland
Slate Grey 14 degrees.
Today in Sligo. Nice day
And nice evening too
It was slate grey alot of today in south Laois too, though it was almost flat calm for much of the day. It felt warmer today than yesterday even though maxes only got to a little over 17c today yet near 19c yesterday. The difference a breeze can make!
A thick blanket of cloud all day here in Leitrim.
I said tonight will be 6c not last night.
The air generally gets cooler as you head into August. By the end of August the sun sets at 830pm while in the NW in late June it sets at 1015pm.
Anyhow. The 27s and 28s may still happen but the average temperature peak has been passed. On average temperatures in Ireland are at their peak in the 3rd week of July. Let's see if its 6c tonight.
Sky certainly clear in NW today and the humid damp sleepless muck seems gone. Though it's returning at weekend.
I remember last Sunday i was in lidl and they had great air conditioning and when we walked out wooosh that wall of heat, was great, like getting off a plane in spain
Back in Eire on Friday and going to All Together Now in Waterford. Looks like it wont be a wet weekend anyway, maybe showers on Sat and Sun, could be a lot worse.
Nowhere got remotely close to 6º last night.
30º days and 17º nights rarely happen in Ireland. I know things have been bad up North but writing off the rest of the summer because we may not reach these temps again is a bit much.
Last year we got temps up to 27/28º all the way into September.
It's still only July and we've only lost 25 minutes of evening daylight. It'll stay bright in the evenings well into August. And could stay warm well into September. There's a whole month of summer ahead :-)
Good to hear NIMAN ye really have borne the worst of this summers very mixed bag.
At least, a decent day in North donegal.
Rained at about 8am, but been grand since. Light cloud and plenty of sun.
I’ve decamped to the kingdom for a while and I think I’d be obsessed with the sun if I lived here full time. There’s clear weather moving in from the west at present so looks like a nice evening ahead.
