With Summer officially around the corner, let's hope for a decent spell of weather.
Personally hoping for fairly pleasant and consistent rather than long spells of rain and odd hot burst! I can hope...
Debating whether or not to light the woodstove, for the first time ever in July..not even joking.
We actually lit the wood stove yesterday afternoon for first time that I can remember in July.
Filthy day out there today. 13C rain and wind.
Just put of curiosity,and sorry if it has been mentioned already, what is the coldest July temperature ever recorded here ? I am curious about Scotland too. I wonder have the Highlands ever seen snow in July?
just came in from splitting logs and getting kindling, woodstove will be lit tonight! The woolies will be next!
Well I was going to say this is as bad as weather in January but we haven't had this much rain over a 2 day period in any month or day in 2023 in Sligo. The 45 hour count is now 51mm and still lashing and windy. Rain gauge here at 89.1mm Pretty much ties in with Sryans ones in this locality. We had a 9mm thunder shower to start all this that Markree didn't get Thursday evening so theyr a bit lower than us.
Cat has the right idea
That constant wind in Cork is just vile and it's really bad today. Had to close windows as can't keep anything clean with them open. Been very windy here all summer, actually just all the time in general.
As much as I like autumn I hope this month isn't the start of 6 or 7 months of autumn due to el nino. Not much of a summer, no winter just one long autumn till spring.
On what metric?
Lowest max? 10.2C at Malin Head in 1997 (7.5C in 1978 for Scotland)
Lowest min? -0.3C at Mostrim, Longford in 1889 (-2.5C in 1977 for Scotland)
I don't know about falling fresh snow but they have had many years where patches survive throughout. Iain Cameron studies this and puts out analysis every year. As you'd expect, the amount of years with snow patches surviving are on the decline.
Yes, I meant the lowest minimum temperature ever recorded. Thanks.
Have you seen this video. Is this the man you were talking about?
A beautiful spoilt kitty there paul :)
Lislap Forest County Tyrone recorded -1.1c on the 17th July 1971.
Wrote off day here in Kildare with 16mm after fallen
Cork City disgusting vile conditions all month .summer me boll1x
Oh yes forgetting about Northern Ireland, I always do that.
@nacho libre that ain't the guy but I've seen his content. This is him.
And yet we’ve certain posters from Cork who would contradict this 🤷♀️
Far from what you’d hope to get in July but the above is an over the top take, I’ve done 21 hours on my bike and 12 hours of walking (thanks Strava) all without getting wet or blown off the face of the earth so it can’t have been that bad….
Yeah, I was away last week which I understand was awful but this week has been a lot better than the picture being painted from many of you north of here. Put it this way, I've been in shorts and t-shirt both yesterday and today (and I'm not some young fella who has that as his uniform). You wouldn't dream of lighting a fire. Today there have been lots of heavy showers, and it's windy, but it's pretty mild and is dry 80% of the time. I played football on grass earlier and ground wasn't particularly wet or anything.
Actual reports from yesterday and today on Met E support this btw, not making this up!
Hasn't stopped raining for 2 days in the midlands
The met radar currently shows zero precipitation over West Mayo and Galway however we've just had a very intense downpour with a very high rainrate, probably the biggest one of the day. I wish they'd just gray out the radar there and be clear that there is no coverage, it's very misleading.
My closest station Mt dillion had 39mm and even here in carrick in parts there is spot flooding and alot of spray 😞
Has to be the worst back to back days in July perhaps ever. We be given out if we got these 2 days in December.
And with that on top of today, its July total is now on 129.0mm or 176% of the average. Wet wet wet
Sitting on the plane leaving lanzarote. Has been in the mid 30s the last couple of days. Have a feeling I'm in for a shock when we arrive in Dublin in a few hours. Altho am looking forward to a good night's sleep!
Is there any respite from this soon? Even a day or 2?
Good days fishing. The rain brings oxygen to the water and makes the fish active. Delayed our start time to afternoon and escaped the worst of the rain in Galway. Still had some heavy showers. Everyone caught something (mainly pike) and one over 15lb. Time for well earned pints! 😋
That’s lovely isn’t it
Last time was July 2020 in what was the last really bad summer.
We could be on track to smash with what rain has fallen. Nearby weather stations are on the verge of passing this march's rain total😭😭
another 57mm of rainfall between now and end of July and the Dunsany March totals will be beaten and it seems quite likely we will do that over the next 2 weeks. None of todays rain factors in to the 69.8mm of rainfall recorded at Dunsany, will probably be close to 80mm when I check tomorrow.
