    The past four summers have been pissing rain. Its winter all year around here in Ireland.

    Are we ever going to see a blue sky ever again here.

    I think the next hot dry day there should be a national day off work. Its such a pity to work on the rare occasion that the sun does come out.

    The weather this summer(or around that) has been surprisingly nice.

    We don't get summer in this country, just spring, autumn, and winter.

    No, not for another year I'm afraid. Constant cloud cover.

    July wasn't as good as it's previous months, but at least it wasn't a washout, When it did rain, it was mainly at night time, so it didn't really bother me.

    But yes, the last week or so wasn't great, but also not as bad as it could of been, knowing Ireland that is. :p

    June(and May) was a scorcher. Last Sunday was well a Med type day. I knew beforehand from watching the forecast that it was going to piss rain this week so had an impromptu outdoor drinks session with the neighours.:D

    Weather is weird though. The other morning it was misty dull type crap and then by midday you'd get a tan. Now thats common in the Emerald Isle!! :P
