A new thread for Summer general discussion.
Cloudy start in Greystones. 11.7c atm.
A classic example of the sun on a clear horizon illuminating the sky above via rayleigh scattering aided by the cloud from the nearby front I presume which should be now over you if I'm remembering correctly that you are in Donegal. Can be indicative of a fine day ahead the following day as pressure builds in behind the front but not in this case as the front didn't come from the west, it came up from the south/southeast and will bring a soft day.
Last glimmers of daylight.
Looks like the west easily had it best today, today one of the rare days where the east had a total write off and indeed the worst day of summer so far while the west had a reasonably good day. Not much in the way of good news on the horizon but at least Friday to Sunday don't look too bad, a big improvement on today and indeed tomorrow which will be welcome but things will probably go downhill again from early next week. We still may get a decent final 10 days to July but alot needs to happen to fix the current pattern we've been in since early June. Perhaps August might save us yet.
Another pathetic summers day in Dublin. Feels like a mild day in December. Miserable light rain, mist and awfully cool for July.
We need drastic improvements end of the month and August.
Groundhog Day. Dull and dreary temp 11 degrees. No warmth no sun no brightness. At least it’s dry 😀
I lit the stove last night, which was nice.
Not dry here Kayne, thank god I'm escaping for a while, hate flying but get me on that plane even if I have to endure a terrible two's tantrum with the toddler!
Exact same as yesterday. N Kildare
As you were
This is the bleakest summer I’ve experienced. Constant rainfall again all throughout today to be expected in Dublin. I remember it being between 22-26 degrees during this time in 2022 and 2021. I’ve learnt my lessons for next summer 2 weeks holidays, 2 weeks remote work in a foreign country.
Some torrential rain this morning. Plenty of surface flooding on the roads.
It didn't turn out to be a predictor of much, it's very wet this morning.
Had to put on the heating this morning. I say that as someone who rarely puts it on.
Co. Roscommon.
More flip flapping again, the weekend was supposed to have high pressure building in... now... Met Éireann - Sunday - Current model indicates a full return to unsettled weather with plenty of cloud and rain.
Train wreck.
Lovely warm sunny spells here in Galway this morning, hopefully that cloud doesn't come and spoil it!
so Sunday gone again? It’s the hope that kills you. It’s actually still cold too.
Couldn't agree more, my cycle in this morning was depressing, non-top incessant rain, and you're soaked to the skin when you get into work, not a great start to the day. Hard to believe we are rapidly approaching the mid-point of our so called Summer, don't care what anybody says, but it's been a joke of a Summer.
Eamon would be proud of you.
Surely they won't be able to say this was one of the hottest summers of the last X no of years?
It's been generally very cool, often cold.
globally it probably will be in keeping with the trend this year, but june was the coldest in ireland since 2015
Difference is, the media will say nothing about this Summer being bad.
If it was a very warm June or July, they'd fall over themselves to tell us just how dry and warm it was, but when it doesn't fit the narrative cos it's miserable, there will be nothing said.

Touché. I stand corrected.
Fab sunset @NIMAN what was the location?
Raining Meath. No words.
Hope its still dry (maybe some blue sky) in the West as some family popped over to family this morning. Hope better than the East.
12° Meath
North Inishowen.
Horrible summer day.
Might be in the media but it ain't headline news, I guarantee if it it was the hottest we would have rte creaming themselves . George lee at 6 have an orgasm live on air about it.
Still raining in Dub/Kildare. It's many months since we had a wet 24h. It's a shock to the system! So dull and grey. And cold!
Lovely day in Galway. Sunny with a nice breeze. Not sure what the temp is but I am sweating in the garden/field. My guess is 18C.
Glorious morning in Cork. Although it's only about 18 degrees, I'd take weather like this for the rest of the summer instead of any heatwave.
