Summer 2024 - General Discussion

lovely morning here hazy sunshine and again warm which is all you can ask for. Loving every minute

That makes it 3 out of the first 7 months of the yr coming in below average. Or 4 out of the last 13 months. Funnily enough all starting with the letter J.

Trés warm in Meath. Great bright skies all day. More cloud coming across now.. Cutting the grass before the rain.

23⁰ Meath

Overcast with stratus pig gloom, air is very moist and clamy, with a gusty wind, impossible to sit outside comfortably with the gustsd blowing into your face, yesterday started off beautiful with sunshine and warmth but clouded over very quickly with high level misery followed by lower level pig gloom and misty drizzle and sporadic bursts of rain, almost like a tease, as if to say this is what you could have, but you cant. Horrendous summer, i cant repeat it often enough, the fact that at no stage it has settled down in 4 months, is just woeful.

5th day in a row with temps over 20c. It has been a fabulous week and really enjoyable

Well that's July done and dusted and dare I say it, but I was happy with it in terms of pleasant weather. Location was a huge factor this year in terms of drizzle and temperatures. Poor sligo seems to have faired poorly reading reports here but Galway , I think it's Cluedo country, seems to have faired alot better. My location in North Meath had lots of sunshine, not all clear blue skies but pleasantly warm and dry for outdoor work. The ground is rock hard after a particularly dry 3 months as pointed out and river levels are extremely low. My fear is when will the real monsoons start ,which seems to occur in cycles in recent years . Hopefully it's not August or September.

Might be a tad wet later..especially in the west

Cloudy and humid, looks to be some Thunderstorm potential for this afernoon, with this band of rain moving eastwards

Nice bit of lightning in that front this morning out west.
