I'd predict that Wicklow should stay dry well into tomorrow late afternoon or evening time.

If you're off work tomorrow, I'd be cracking open the varnish tin just after sunrise (6.30am approx) and be supping on a beer a few hours later basking in sunshine! 😃

Danno · 24-08-2022 09:10PM

Here is the 12Z GFS prediction for 6pm tomorrow evening - rain only pushing into west Offaly at that stage. And playing the sequence forward it breaks up over Leinster. I'd say Wicklow will get a bout of drizzle at worst from it around darkfall.

This year has been better than last year overall but I still thought last year's summer was one of the best in years. That was true for athenry anyway especially since August 2019 was probably the worst August I've seen. We had nearly 300mm of rain in athenry, which was double the value for most other westerly stations.

I see athenry just missed out on heatwave criteria this summer. It reached 25.0 on the first day of heat which didn't count, it needed to be greater than 25c to be a heatwave.

A nice few days down here in the south west since the stunner on Sunday. Cloudy and showery at times but nice and warm which is my deal breaker for summer. Looks like we might get the usual back to school nice run which I always love. 😎 Fingers crossed.

Glorious morning with gin blue sky mostly, just a few clouds. 18C in Dublin 16

Gonzo · 25-08-2022 10:49AM

beautiful morning here in Meath too, plenty of sunshine. the only thing missing about this August is I'd love a few days at the end of mid twenties nationwide but I think low twenties is about the best we're going to get.

acequion · 25-08-2022 01:14PM

Spoke too soon earlier, lashing rain now 😕 Hopefully just a one day blip. [Tralee]

Kutebride · 25-08-2022 01:25PM

Beautiful blue skies out this morning in Meath. Massive change this afternoon with dark clouds all around now.

Danno · 25-08-2022 11:16PM

As we approach the end of Summer I've been looking back over the rainfall distribution of the three summer months so far here at Durrow:

June: 104.6mm
July 21.4mm
August 14.1mm (so far).

Giving a seasonal total of 140.1mm.

What is more interesting is four days out of a six day spell from June 24th to June 29th where 76mm of that 140.1mm fell (over 50% of all this summer's rain!) June 24th alone delivered 33.8mm from a thunderstorm; June 25th - 11.4mm; June 26th - 0.1mm; June 27th - 19.6mm; June 28th - 0.5mm and finally June 29th 11.1mm. Other notable June falls included the 2nd - 10.1mm.

Drove through Gonzo’s neck of the woods this morning on the way to Navan and my god the weather was awful. Navan not much better. Hopefully it will clear away soon.

DOCARCH · 26-08-2022 10:31AM

Mostly clear and sunny in Greystones. 17.5c atm.

Cluedo Monopoly · 26-08-2022 11:42AM

Hows the weather in Galway looking around Sept 5-11? I am planning a few days camping in the hills.

I wasn't expecting such a miserable morning, nothing very wet just very damp. Starting to clear up now with weak sunshine popping out for few seconds every now and then.

Tommysocks11 · 26-08-2022 12:02PM

Go away with yer lovely weather crap, we badly need rain and plenty of it

Slashermcguirk · 26-08-2022 12:52PM

Another dry day here in Dublin 5. Haven’t seen any of this rain in these parts

Hairypoppins · 26-08-2022 01:04PM

Although still dry in this part of Dublin it's coolest day experienced in a long long time

appledrop · 26-08-2022 02:04PM

So funny on the regular walk today, you meet same people we wouldn't know each other but always say hello.

Well today we were all chatting as we passed each other saying 'That's some change in weather!

appledrop · 26-08-2022 02:06PM

I'm actually in for some shock when autumn hits, the last 2 months have been so fab and warm in Dublin even on dull days.

Today at 14 degrees and drizzly rain is reminding me of what is coming.

esposito · 26-08-2022 02:32PM

Yeah today is definitely a shock to the system. Miserable earlier driving to Navan but at least there was no wind. Much improved now though.

Not looking forward to the windy wet spells that will inevitably happen during Autumn.

Cumhachtach · 26-08-2022 03:59PM

It's well improved this afternoon in Laois after a cloudy, cool morning.

Feeling pleasant in lengthy spells of sunshine. Temperatures 19/20c.

Cumhachtach · 26-08-2022 04:53PM

My least favourite weather type is cold rain and showers, what the forecast is suggesting in early September.

I'd much prefer a Biscay breakdown or some south westerly, southerly component, warm rain 😊

mcburns07 · 26-08-2022 05:56PM

Lovely day in Cork, sunny and warm all day 👌

highdef · 26-08-2022 06:02PM

Beautiful evening in Meath.

Elmer Blooker · 26-08-2022 08:25PM

Met E forecasting isolated thunderstorms in the south for Sunday ........ looks like a fairly settled chart to me?

DOCARCH · 27-08-2022 05:32AM

Good morning from Greystones.

Kutebride · 27-08-2022 05:48AM

WOW DOCARCH.

Nothing to be seen Meath. Heavy dew.

Tommysocks11 · 27-08-2022 06:17AM

Christ we badly need rain, place is parched, nothing growing

Wine Goddess · 27-08-2022 08:57AM

Did not expect this! Beautifully warm and sunny in Firhouse D24.

Barely a cloud in the sky and no wind - a rarity for here!

This has been an excellent August one of the best I can remember.

Now all we need is a couple of feet of snow in winter 🤣🤣 and my weather year will be replete.

leahyl · 27-08-2022 11:02AM

Beautiful in Cork :-)
