Summer 2024 - General Discussion

Sunny but still freezing. Only 14c still. What does it take to get to 17c this Summer. Northerly now a NWesterly.

actually quite warm here now in the north east and actually hot when sheltered from the breeze

The gloom has steadily pushed its way in here,west mayo, thick low level grey gloom approaching further out to seaand a cold sea breeze has whipped up,so thats the day done,nice while it lasted,overcast again tomorrow, and wet friday.

The seas could be boiling over and Ireland would still fail to break its record. This is really shaping up to be an atrocious summer. Excuse me now, i have to put the heat on ,a winter fleece and turn the lights on, its become so dark with the low level pig stratus gloom shield sucking out all the mid summer light.

It's after breaking 20C for the first time since June 2nd. N Tipp

Don't like the heat anyway so it doesn't really bother me. Don't understand people putting heating on at this time of Yr. Never even crossed my mind in weeks to put the heat on. My house is south facing so that helps I guess.

The Irish record will be broken sooner or later, just a matter of time.......

Always love your stats syran. I see your latest is that June in the uk so far is the 13th coldest on record. ( from Mark Vogan on YouTube he mentioned you regarding that stat).

Thanks, FWIW I have always found your input excellent on IWO but unfortunately FB is a cesspit

A total cesspit. Got told by a denier today in a comment section as i replyed to someone who claimed more records were broken 100 yrs ago then nowadays that there was no hope for me and was I up to date with my jabs. That's the kind of pathetic stuff they come out with.

I know ,I know but sometimes I just can't help it when I see the tripe that's posted on there.

I love your stats too Syran. There should be a dedicated thread for you where people can ask you about weather stats etc.

I have a stats q though - what was the average daily high for Dublin this May?

@sryanbruen i see Alan has had enough of the BS 😂

Tracking the min temperatures most of the Winter June has had nearly as many nights with single digit temperatures as December.

Today must have passed 17c as it felt warmer and when I looked at thermometer at 6pm it was at 16.7c.

Next week will be early 20s for a few days before the next green slime and Arctic blast for July. However unlike June there's not much cold around anywhere in July so itl probably be 16c instead of 12c.

There's still room for a couple of hot spells though even if they are short they are memorable when they come.

Big dirty lumps of heavy rain and cool next week on the 18z gfs. Typical gfs, throwing out settled warm weather for the end of June for the last 10 days, looks like it's all unravelling,
