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...
What was the total summer rainfall for 2012 and 1986?
Agreed for my location too (Antrim). Pretty much has rained every day of the month. Yesterday was dry though for a change. Nice morning today, mostly cloudy afternoon, a few glimpses of sun this evening. 5 minutes of summer today.
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Quite breezy here in Lucan. Chilly, dry, overcast. There was some lovely sunshine this afternoon.
Unfortunately, at the same time as I have tried to take advantage of it to dry some washing, my next-door neighbour has decided to barbecue. Washing ruined with the smoke. Ah well, can't blame them.
Turned out to be a very pleasant day in Tralee. I'm not great for following exact temps but it certainly felt like 20C. I was in shorts and t-shirt, my Mecca if I can wear summer clothes outside the house during the summer months. 😀 Still nice this evening, bright and sunny, so heading out for a walk. Compared to the weather I was hearing about during my two weeks away, this is actually great! Expectations are low in this country, but dry, bright and reasonably warm would be the very best you could hope for in Ireland. Especially here on the Atlantic coast.
Well the one positive of all the rain is that we appreciate the good days even more when they come along. Anyway I decided to follow your lead and tidy up the Garden. It's seems like no length since I last dug up the weeds . The speed of growth has been phenomenal.
Is that the ground temperature or the air temperature?
😁😁😁
*just for fun.
Chilly in west cork but a lovely blue sky!
48.2c *
so many neighbors of mine are just completely fed up. Their kids have been stuck indoors bored out of their heads for the entirety of their summer holidays except for maybe 2 days and they are back in school in just over 4 weeks time and no sign of any letup in the washout summer.
Yea, the timing of the bad weather after the nice June couldn't have been any worse for the school holidays. I always time our own holidays for around the same time of year, so its disappointing that the best of the summer was in June.
And it will probably end up just picking up again just as the kids have to go back again, nearly guaranteed.
Researchers in Denmark studying the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) expect it to collapse this century under current projections of future emissions. (At bottom I’ve attached a link where other scientists cast doubt on this. Interesting nonetheless)
The study, published today in scientific journal Nature, expects that the AMOC will collapse some time between 2025 and 2095, with “high confidence” that it will happen as soon as the middle of the century.
“We predict with high confidence the tipping [point] to happen as soon as mid-century,” the study stated, with a 95% confidence range of 2025 to 2095.
“These results are under the assumption that the model is approximately correct, and we, of course, cannot rule out that other mechanisms are at play, and thus, the uncertainty is larger. However, we have reduced the analysis to have as few and sound assumptions as possible, and given the importance of the AMOC for the climate system, we ought not to ignore such clear indicators of an imminent collapse,” the study said.
if the collapse happens, what does it mean in high level turns? No predictibility to the weather or extremes etc?
Was thinking all this stuff today and wondering will much of the world will be even habitable by the turn of the century. Probably sooner.
Was also wondering how long it is before we get Covid type restrictions for driving our cars like only being able to use them for necessary journeys "what is the purpose of your journey" due to transport emissions.
There's certain to be a big change in thinking and government actions after a whole Summer of records.
Completely dry day with 5.8 hours of sunshine. Best of the sunshine was in the morning but it wasn't warm with a high of just 18 degrees. One of the calmest days of the month so far.
It seems the poster you have quoted has a vivid imagination or is just looking for attention.
It's been a poor July in Cork but we've had lots of dry days and sun compared to other places and the land is still dry within about a 40km radius of the city (the only area I can comment on), with lots of farmers out last night getting their second cut done, and looking at a third later in the year.
Damp and fairly horrible this morning.
Breezy and cloudy morning in Kildare 14.3°
Cork Airport had its first 20 degrees of the month on the 18th. Any idea when that last happened in July?
Very different summer down here. My kids have been stuck at home maybe one day and two mornings so far this summer. The weather really hasn't impacted us at all. My brother and his kids went to Tayto Park last week and it lashed for the whole day.
Well it hasn't rained for two days in a row. But we've seen very little sun. Temperature reached 17C yesterday and it felt rather pleasant. Tried cutting the lawn but had to give up, the land was too wet. High Summer indeed. Leitrim.
Quick edit. Rain has just arrived.
Got the grass done yesterday as todays rain was promised since last weekend - it’s not the worst July we’ve had in the last 20 years but it’s poxy enough - I don’t think 1st week in august will be rain free either but hopefully after that things might settle - I read England is expecting the first 2 weeks of August to be bad before a break around the 15th
Was looking at all apps to see exactly when the rain would start in Sligo including BBC weather and UK Met Office. They all said around 11am. Its 850am its been raining for nearly an hour.
Theyr all sh!t.
Note 2009 July has now been surpassed here 156mm and counting.
Raining now in Dublin, there was a few drops on my cycle in around 08:30, but thankfully managed to avoid the heavy stuff. So I suppose I should be thankful that we managed one whole day yesterday without any rain, god things really are bad 😯
Overcast wet cool.
Wow that’s hard to believe- I didn’t think July felt as bad as 2009 but obviously it was
Took until the 17th in 2016. It had one single day above 20C in 2015, the 13th. Took until the 16th in the lovely July of 2014. Didn't even reach 20C in July 2009.
Rain arrived early in Dublin
Well I'm glad I have the stats to explain why I've been feeling so cold!(Relative for time of year)
Honestly I tried dressing for summer yesterday and I was so cold.
At least I knew today would be miserable so dressed more warmly, honestly I'm in Mar /Apr clothes rather than summer and all through June I was loving the summer clothes.
Just to say we haven't had the same growth that some of you are reporting here in NCD.
My husband hadn't cut the grass in weeks as so wet(finally managed it yesterday) but it wasn't that high, just covered in those white flowers.
All my roses are dying off along with other flowers because they are getting loads of rain but very little heat or sunshine here at Dublin airport and too much rain.
Any indication what Sunday will be like for The All-Ireland Football Final in Dublin?
Most remain behind some Julys like 2009, 2020, 2010 etc with plenty of rain for that to change but Mount Dillon, Roscommon has had its wettest since records began in 1952.
