A new thread for Summer general discussion.
Cloudy start in Greystones. 11.7c atm.
Lol. You can only laugh at this stage. And cry.
Currently in maderia (funchal) its like ireland on a summers day but cheaper. Anyone looking for a nice summers day rather than an oven I definitely recommend this place
Nada
No. Nothing.
Is there any sign at all of some description of summer like weather on the horizon?
some people feel the cold over others. I for example love the heat so when I hear of people hiding indoors when it’s 20 degrees I find that equally strange. I wouldn’t say it’s cold per se but I was at a match last night everyone there was in long pants, hoodie/jumper and jacket and it was cool standing there. this morning is the same as every morning this week so far except that annoying wind is back.
Oh God, I picked a bad week to start a sea swimming course! I've been told learning the front crawl with your head in the water is difficult but the winds and the choppy water are making it extremely challenging. When I booked this course in February I was thinking of balmy calm sunny warm days! Even wearing gloves, boots and long sleeved swimsuit I had to get out early yesterday.
I am a regular year round swimmer so I'm used to the sea, but wanted to improve. Tomorrow there is a storm forecast as if the week hasn't been bad enough. I'm thinking of pulling a sickie ! (I'm in Kerry)
Is that 7 questions you're asking?
Anyway, i never mentioned it was freezing. It's cool, actually, in the house whe i woke up, it felt cold. Heating went on. House is now nice and warm. Jobs a good'un, heating now off.
Haven't had my heatng on since Mid-April and only then a few times since the end of March 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Can't get my head around this ' it's freezing' stuff. Yes it's colder then normal but 'it's freezing ' really in July???????
No measurable rain overnight but dull again. Have a week off work mid month, fingers crossed I can spend most of it in the garden as planned!
As you were again this morning except breezier.
Rinse and repeat of the last how many days, except colder. Heating is on. 9c(Feels much cooler than that) N.Kildare
Thanks fits, mapaputsi and dominating for the well wishes. Just as regards the summer wedding in Ireland, it's nice to try something different and have it outdoors . Of course it's a toss of a coin on the day weather wise, but when you hire a country house 7 months in advance for a small wedding with lots of young kids milling around, it's worth a try. We are not totally dependent on this scenario as we can move it indoors up to 1 hours notice. Even with the Irish summer you would think you have a 60 to 70 % chance of having at least a dry few daylight hours in July. It just seems the jetstream has slipped south just at the wrong time for me. I'm still hoping for that little ridge of high pressure.
Back from a week in Lanzarote. Sooooo dull here. Raining now. Pretty depressing really.

I'll answer this when the daily data for June 2024 gets updated to the historical database which should be later this week or early next week at latest I'd have thought. I cannot be bothered to select each individual day and log each daily mean wind speed at the moment from June. Would be much less tedious if the daily data page had a simple previous and forward arrow to go onto the next or prior day rather than having to select the date each time then press go and wait for the page to late. If I remember correctly, you're based in Dublin?
As with the above, await the Met historical database to update for June. However, Meteociel give 06-06 mean max values that give us a reasonable estimate though not all the time and can sometimes wildly differ to the official 09-09 or in the case of met.ie 00-00 values.
Dublin Apt: 17.8C (+0.1C above 91-20)
Casement: 17.7C (-0.3C below 91-20)
😂😂
Kinda starting to rain here now , feeling fairly nippy now
Heavy rain
In reference to Hurricane Beryl - These are the type of nuts that are out there. Thinking the powers that be are able to manipulate Hurricanes to kill people.
See their talking about extreme temperatures on the news ffs unless there talking about elsewhere around the world 🌎
Should have seen the amount of stupid comments that report got in the comments sections on Facebook. Mother nature has plenty more work to with the evolution of the human brain it seems lol.
but but but Covid summer was glorious Syran 😀😀
Sitting out in Cork wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Once it clouds over, its chilly.
Definitely saving on the sun cream bill today.
Hazy sunshine here in the midlands, temperature just reaching 17, so sitting out the back in shorts and a t-shirt telling myself its grand 🤣🤣
oh ok..maybe my expectations are just too high for summer this year, some kind of false memory syndrome
Spring was cloudy. It was the cloudiest since 1996 for Dublin Airport whilst most had their cloudiest since 2014. June was sunnier than all of the spring months nationally so not sure where you are getting this idea from.
However spring 2024 was still sunnier than the summer 2020 shitfest!
journos mouths are already watering at the thought of being able to post an article with the headline ‘34 degrees recorded for first time, set to be a scorcher!’
it may be recorded as 19, but in south Dublin with the cold breeze I needed a jumper and jacket on today, feels about 13.
Am I empirically correct in saying that we received more sunshine in Spring per average day? Because intuitively I feel as if I’m in a worse seasonal depression than pre-spring, spring this year (bar a chilly march) felt bright/sunny outside to me. Feel like I can count the days with my hands which had zero cloud cover in summer so far.
