    Lovely cloud formations today.

    The wind has died down a fair bit today compared to yesterday and warmer too. Currently 17C in south Dublin with fair conditions.

    Quite a nice morning and not too cold.

    I seen the most amazing double rainbow last night in between the showers and got a lovely phot of it.
    I’ll post it if anyone can explain to me how I post photos on boards!

    Could be at the weekend as temperature only 5c at night but I doubt it.

    Of course the 3rd week of July is the forecast warmest as it was in 2011 since this is the copycat. Could be mid twenties in parts that week a couple of days. And hot drizzle in the NW also as it was in 2011.

    Big difference in weather forecast between the UK Met office who are giving heavy rain all along the east of Ireland next Tuesday whereas met eireann giving light showers. Monday the 8th is a big day for me, Gerry give Monday wet with a smile at 6.55pm forecast and then whispered disappointingly that Monday could remain dry on the 9.30pm forecast. It just shows how unsettled things are.

    This summer still has some ways to go to be as bad as last summer. Summer 2020 was also a stinker.

    Agreed, and if it's not too wet, I personally am happy enough. But we we were coming off the back of a nicer Spring in both those cases, so we were still living off the vibes of decent longish good spells. We've had no longer than a nice weekend this spring.

    A much better day today here in Maynooth. No blue skies, but dry, and without the horrible wind. Unfortunately it looks like a wet week to come from this evening.

    Apologies mykrodot! I identify as board games myself 🙂

    Well done on the open water swimming. Not easy. Watch out for those great whites who are now calling Ireland home 😉

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    started as a lovely mild morning here in West Clare but has got noticeably cooler and has now started pouring down rain.

    You can all expect it inland in the next while 😔

    I’m seeing a lot of clickbait crap about the medium term outlook looking really good. I’m assuming that is all nonsense?

    A good deal of rain to come over the next 5 days, could turn out to be the wettest period since April. From Wednesday onwards we gradually begin to lose the cool weather and replace it with something a bit warmer, but it remains to be seen if we'll get any sort of settled weather for more than a day.

    Grim, fly me away now. On the bright side, I see some sunshine starting from next Wednesday on the long term Apple Weather forecast. Temperatures from from 17- 22 degrees. Apple weather isn’t the most reliable though..

    I have tried to look in to the source of their forecasting models for Ireland, Europe. For the US, they use the Weather Company (IBM Model i think)

    I really cannot find what data source they use. So i can only assume it also comes from same data source as US based forecasts.

    FWIW, I find it to be relatively accurate in real time both home and abroad

    Guaranteed it won't be that bad and we won't get that amount of rainfall at all

    Was watching the UK Met office web forecast for tonight and the weekend and they seem to think tonights rain is mostly a southern affair with not a whole lot over Dublin yet we are under a yellow warning here since yesterday. Have to say on the the satellite and radar it doesn't look like much more than bog standard frontal rain.

    Just had a torrential downpour here just outside Castlebar. Surprised there wasnt lightning. If you get caught in one of these as they move East you will certainly know about it.

    doesn’t look like much or even anything for Dublin, it’s well to the south and looking like it will only get as far north as Wicklow, it should be clouding over in Dublin now but it’s the opposite, it’s now becoming clear and sunny, pic taken looking SW.

    E41E1BD7-7FEF-48E3-A5F3-8C0EEA8AB96F.jpeg

    I hope it does lash tonight as i don’t think I’ve ever seen the soil so dry through lack of rainfall and constant very dry wind from between N and NW for weeks now.

    Yep, my website webcam looks NE so it doesn't get blown out by the sun, looking SW is similar here.

    I didnt water the pots out the back of the house this evening - really hoping for some rain, my garden grass was last cut two weeks ago which is really rare for this time of year and its mostly daisies poking their heads up rather than the grass, the ground must be dry as a bone.

    Looking at the radar and it looks like the worst of the rain is going to the north and south of the three counties that got the warning
