Summer 2024 - General Discussion

We reached 20.6c today in Arklow in relatively strong Sunshine at times but only occasional peeps of sun at the moment

All in a fine day though

Cloudy here in carrick must be the only place that's not sunny

Deepdive is on YouTube from the met Office I've just started watching this week's now

Is that measured in minutes?

Yeah was kidding, it's not quite that bad lol

12C and light rain, heavy cloud. Back to the muck.

Leitrim

Can safely say weather will remain mixed all the way to the end of August with High Pressure nudging in at times to give a dry day here and there.

West hasn't done too bad this Summer but Northwest has. Everyone got covid coz no vitamin D and 14c every day. This year while like 2011 here hasn't had the good spell 2011 had in April so it's worse and probably will turn out the coldest Summer of the 21st Century for Sligo while the Globe 🌎 had its warmest day ever on July 21st.

IIn 50years time there will be a billion people living in Ireland as it will be the only cool place left on the planet. The heat maps will show reds over every continent and a blue Ireland with mist and drizzle but no sun. And if you get sun there will be 100mm of rain the next day to punish you. Also on days there is lighter rain it will be windy so you'll get soaked anyways. You will constantly have the media telling you there's a good spell of weather on the way that never comes and Wet Eireann promising 3 days of sun and heat that turns into 2 to 3hrs in total if you're lucky.

Eventually the billion people will all immigrate back to their 50c countries to escape what is a worse misery.

During this spell of weather. The biggest disappointment is the inability of the models and forcasting agencies to correctly predict the weather 3 days in advance.

Its a poor look to say the least.

another desperate disappointment of a day. Breezy grey and 14 degrees with intermittent rain.
