Summer 2024 - General Discussion

Spinalonga!! I read a fantastic book about the old leper colony there, it was facsinating. I always thought it would be a place I'd love to visit. Is it hard to get there from mainland Greece?

Enjoy.

July has been really dire….Cloudy yet again, 14c N Kildare

Another grey depressing morning in Dublin. Not as cold as previously, but hard to imagine that we will see the sun at all today.

It's actually so dispiriting, somone recently said and it's so true, that people and society in general look and feel so much happier when the sun is out, and it's actually warm. If this keeps up we'll be a very depressed nation by the time this so called summer is over.

Ireland would be the most beautiful place in the world if we had the weather

OMG you're so Irish 😂

Overcast but dry and the biting wind has back off over the last few days - 16.5 degrees

Slim pickings but we have to take what we get in West Clare

I saw that, I went for a late lunch, and was quite happy to see the strange big yellow thing that we don't see very often appear from behind a mass of clouds.

it’s gone back in again

Very pleasant day in Galway. Good sunny spells during the day. Grass growth is slow due to the lack of rain. I don't think we've seen any decent rain since start of July. Mace Head still showing 6mm. It's coming tomorrow alright. My new trees badly need it.

Saturday looks absolutely awful at the moment.

Calm, cool and clear apart from a mix of noctilucent and high level cloud right across to the north at Trim, Co. Meath.😍

Apologies that the phone does not even barely pick up the beauty of it.

Lovely bright start, should be like this for an hour before the clouds no doubt roll on in for the day with maybe a brief appearance of the Sun for about half an hour late this afternoon.

Southeast England looking at 30c at the weekend. We'll be lucky to achieve half that looking at the forecast.

Anyone on holiday, don't bother checking in for your flight home if you have the opportunity
