A new thread for Summer general discussion.
Cloudy start in Greystones. 11.7c atm.
Humidities in the 40's in many stations on the 16:00 report on the met.ie website, pretty unusual to see that in Ireland. Good drying in that wind!
you’d have to laugh at it only it’s not a bit funny.
Lovely day again in south Dublin.
Warm across most of the country too :
Warm and sunny in Dublin 16.
Wind isn’t as annoying as it was earlier. 22°
Cruise liner "Nautica" was scheduled to be in Galway for the day however on arrival this morning it was deemed too rough to bring passengers ashore due to the strong wind. Now heading for Killybegs
Phoenix Park seems to be the warmest spot today at 22 degrees from met eireann readings
I have to agree Hippodrome, I certainly wouldn't class today as a nice day, the wind is too strong and it's a chillywind.
I tried sitting out for lunch I lasted 10 mins, overcast and too windy.
Sunny and 23c in Greystones.
Some parts of Dublin seem to very lucky lately. It's overcast and very windy here in Lucan. Dry at the moment and warm, but not a nice day. It has rained and been windy every single day of the last fortnight here. Only nice evening was Thursday the 1st after a rainy morning, and Saturday 3rd was OK in terms of sunshine (but with wind and intermittent drizzle).
Another nice day in Dublin, currently 20 degrees but might hit 22 or 23
a nice day in Meath, warm and sunny however that wind is annoying. This weekend looks half decent first one in a while.
Nope, really we should be a rich nation by haversting the power of the wind for renewable energy.
Is it really?
It was fairly dry for June and some of July, but it's been constantly windy and often it's driving drizzle that gives low totals.
Haven't seen a temperature of over 22/23°c here since May. Oddly enough Sunday, which was a total washout, was very warm and about 22°c, whereas Monday, a much sunnier drier day, was cooler.
A lovely morning in West Clare, hazy sunshine and bright.
I feel an impromptu half day coming up 😀
this is at odds with other reports from Galway all summer JCX.
Basically this also for N Kildare, except it is now raining currently
had high hopes for today. Still do but it would 1. Want to get a bit warmer 2. A lot less windy 3 a lot less cloudy and 4 more sunny.
Would that wind ever just feck off.
Quite blustery this morning in south Dublin but the sky is a beautiful gin blue flecked with white clouds. It’s fairly warm in the sun but the breeze has a bit of a chill in it when it blows. Lovely morning.
Will it ever not be windy?
7 o'clock Thursday morning ME had 0.5mm forecasted for here until Sunday evening, 7 o'clock Friday morning 12mm in the rain gauge. Time to stop wasting money on ME, the amateurs do a better job.
Well I was caught out by the rain yesterday. I foolishly checked on our country's meteorological service. Silly me. Biblical rain yesterday. Flooding on the roads. Visibility poor. And yet M. E. forecast........ Cloudy and showers on the day.
Anyway. Pleasant morning. 12C and sun although the wind is fairly strong and cool. Leitrim.
Not particularly warm this morning, blustery. 14c N Kildare
There is but today they were wrong and very poor as of late. Back on topic next few days better for most (would not be hard). Sunday warm and breezy , rain staying off the west coast now.
Isn’t there another thread for Met Éireann moans? Every second post these days in here would be better suited to that one.
Similar situation here in Wicklow in terms of the forecast. We were supposed to be dry for the evening here but instead it's been raining lightly but consistently all evening, the place is saturated outside but if Met Eireann were to be believed it should be a nice dry night now. Even on the radar there's no rain showing but out my window there certainly is!
The wind, the drizzle.
Galway City Summer.
I love how Met Éireann promised a bit of light rain today after the morning in the West but in actual fact it was monsoon like conditions outside for much of the day.
This is why I miss Dublin you guys get it so good here in the northwest I don't think there's been a 3 day break from the rain maybe once in July that's it
I think the weather has been quite nice last week or two in Dublin, pretty much most days in the low 20s, quite balmy and even now while cloudy its 22 degrees. I think its been pretty decent dry warm weather if not particularly sunny
Warm , windy and touch of light drizzle down by North Bull Wall this evening .
