    Sorry now, but this outlandish claim that "The atmosphere you knew is gone - it now holds ~10% more water vapour than just 30 years ago. That's an incredible rise in such a short period. Every 1C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more. The rainfall accumulation for the UK/Ireland the past 12 months has been incredible." is total codswallop.

    It is well known that the Hunga Tonga eruption single handily added 10% more water vapour (the strongest green house 'gas') to the atmosphere in one simple pop. Source NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/earth/tonga-eruption-blasted-unprecedented-amount-of-water-into-stratosphere/

    The climate doesn't have a conscious and decided in mid-2023 to increase, suddenly, rainfall in the temperate climate zones. Charlatans like PGDynes and many others need to be reeled in over their blatant attribution of natural events to 'man-made' climate change.

    Not one human on Earth is responsible for the Hunga Tonga eruption. Commentators estimate that it will be around 2026-27 before the effects of this eruption abate. With an incoming La Niná, the effects could be tempered somewhat more.

    Ten months of misery.

    I usually take a week off in the first half of June, but last year I got landed with a bástard of a project in work at the last minute so couldn't take any time off. (I still have two weeks untaken leave from last year)

    That was the last decent weather we've had! 😡

    I'm in Dublin and even here it's been shíte. Just because you saw someone sitting at a cafe in sunglasses @BlueSkyDreams doesn't mean it wasn't píssing it down that morning, or later that afternoon.

    Have been able to do shag all in the garden for months, it's too waterlogged to cut the grass now even if/when it doesn't rain for a day or two - which it hasn't in ages.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Today "might" be the end of the rain for a few days. Mark it down April 19th . However some models hinting at drier weather in May. Maybe the worst is over. Still very windy and seems to have got colder. When it was supposed to be cold it was warmer than average but now that its meant to be getting warm it's cooler than average so our overall temperature ends higher than average but the devil is in the detail.

    Dublin looking good and mostly sunny for the weekend and also dry throughout next week with sunny spells.

    Perfect garden weather!

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    5 dry sunny days in a row now. And nearly 50 hours of sun. It may only be 12c most days but this is mighty. Still though some light rain tomorrow but still a lot of sunshine here in the NW for the next 5 days too. Think the deluges are gone for a while and most rain now into May will be on the light to moderate side.

    The level of rain caused by the storms would have occurred just once in 50 years without the climate crisis, but is now expected every 5 years owing to 1.2c of global heating reached in recent years. If fossil fuel burning is not rapidly cut and the global temperature reaches 2c in the next decade or two, such severe wet weather would occur every three years on average, the analysis showed.
