Summer 2024 - General Discussion

Oh my God. That looks like summer !

The crazy thing is Winter 2020-21 was actually near average but it felt pretty great compared to what we're used to. Purely going off memory, I think December was slightly milder than average, January was cold with severe frosts and a bit of snow, and February was mild. Each month had cold spells/snaps and I had lying snow each month that winter from four different minor events (including New Year's Eve), which is very rare for me, even if they were mostly dustings. I think I recall you posting about getting a dusting quite a few times throughout that winter too. Winter 2020-21 would be my ideal 'average winter' but unfortunately, has to go down as a fairly good one nowadays.

The wind has been a real pain in the backside. My chestnut tree is already starting to brown because of the wind damage and the rest of the garden looks fairly shook!

Thanks for update , but that's a depressing read ( not your fault obviously) but this endless bleak weather and no end in sight is awful

Yesterday evening was autumn dark & cold. At least we are in for a dry few days. Weather is not at all good, but this is so much better than the depressing constant wet in July & August last year.

A Serbian friend told us yesterday it’s 40 degrees there and unbearable. I’ll take our cooler misery over that.

Yet another awful morning in Dublin. Feels like November/ December - no difference. Getting really tired of this now.

Holidays in early August can’t come soon enough.

Chilly morning, with a brisk wind.

Very November like.

another yuck morning in Dublin, this is just the way of life now I guess, I’ve accepted it’s winter over here

Sorry I couldn't resist 😂

It was actually lovely in Cork yesterday albeit very windy. Went for a walk in the evening and it was lovely and sunny and nice breeze.

Even my flowers look pi**ed off. Another grey day. 11c…sheesh
