    Is it really supposed to go back to the same old s**t that we have been having for the last two weeks after very temporary respite for the weekend?

    It's all a bit up in the air but return to unsettled conditions is likely from Tuesday but for how long, there is hope that there could be another fine spell at some point over the final 10 days of June so not all unsettled and certainly less chilly than it has been recently.

    I don't look at charts etc but RTE has Dublin at 15c on sat and Sunday is 17c both cloudy each day this weekend am I supposed to be excited about this?

    no one else finding this weather just weird and out of the ordinary?
    Never ever have I seen such March like showers make their way to the east in mid summer, never have I seen such dramatic March like cloud formations in mid summer either.
    The only logical explanation is the AMOC blob.
    Nothing unusual about bad weather at mid summer of course but this PM airflow is so vigorous for this time of year it’s exceptional.

    Considering how bad our weather is at present, you probably are supposed to get excited about this 😄Absolutely belting down in Dublin City Centre at present, depressing stuff.

    Started raining here in Shankill as soon as I put the washing out at 1 and it's been ridiculous ever since. It seems like the west-northwesterly airflow over the country is generating very heavy rain bearing clouds once it nears the Dublin mountains and is dumping it all in our back garden!

    This morning was showery and they were heavy but they seemed to die out by noon. Took a half day and headed out for 9 holes of practice. Bliss.

    Not so much in Dublin, the ever incessant strong breeze will presumably keep temperatures low

    Cold, wet, grey and miserable here. More like autumn than summer. Grace had to put the heating on throughout the day as it is so cold.

    Full wet gear required in Dublin today. Very windy, cold, torrential downpours with hail and thunder intermittently all day. Biblical prolonged rain/hail in particular just before 2pm and at 3.20pm.

    That's it I have given up this evening and put heating on.

    Horrendous day, two seperate thunderstorms, hail, torrential rain, wind and freezing.

    Worst June ever😡

    I put the heating on last night and fully intend to put it on again soon. We had similar weather this time last year too though, the monthly average rain fell at Casement on 12th and 14th of the month.

    Just back from a jog through the empty grey miserable streets of Central north dublin. Who'd want to be out in that. The fact it's bright means you just have to bear more of how horrible it is till almost bedtime. I suffer SAD alright but it's our God awful summer months that depress me the most every bloody year.

    As Gonzo said, we escaped the worst of the showers in parts of Meath. It happened for most of Sunday as well. You can be lucky and be in the dry area between these street showers.

    A nice morning here in north Longford. Sunny with partial light cloud. Looks like a better day ahead.

    Rather cool this morning with a real feel temp of 5c, this weekends so called warm front does not seem like it is going to be anything inspiring also with potential significant cloud and maybe somewhat of an easterly breeze.

    You just know we always pay for any kind of decent spell for about 4/6 weeks thereafter.

    All will be forgiven if July and even some of August average anything above 20c

    Met Eireann going for a 16c high and cloud for Midlands Saturday and 17c high on Sunday. The models are an absolute disaster at the moment, you cannot take any of them seriously. It seems like the morning runs are always on the negative side and then the evening runs seems to bring back the warmth possibility. I don't know..I feel sorry for anyone in Met Office or Met Eireann trying to decipher what is going on to be honest.
