    Its looking quite promising (ie decent summer weather) but I hesitate to say even that having been disappointed a few times this summer. Even since this morning the GFS is not as hopeful as it was first thing.

    I don't think anyone but the tabloid media is predicting the 'hottest on record' type nonsense.

    They can't accurately forecast what the weather will be like new week, never mind for the next 2 months!

    I think this weekend was the last throw of the dice. The other night Evelyn C was hinting at a good weekend with temps getting into the low 20s but that's all changed. It's looking cloudy now with showers though warm.
    The same happened for the June bank holiday weekend, it was looking good but all we got was the Saturday and it turned unsettled by Sunday.

    OUTLOOK ... Slightly cooler again for a few days, but the models are beginning to show some very warm weather patterns in early July which, if they come to pass, could bring highs of 25 to 28 C well inland in southeast to south breezes.

    Fingers crossed.

    July will be an improvement on June (not hard) with some short warm spells but also a lot of the normal craap too. Overall though the Mean Temperature should be near or above average. Sometimes the models are predicting really warm spells in a weeks time then they go back to this muck. So in that case Im going for mild but mixed July. As opposed to freezing and mixed May and June.

    I see tonights models have turned our warm weekend into a washout as the Atlantic muck barges in again before we get even one day of something resembling summer - as of now this for me has been one of the worst May/June combos ever:(

    O...what ever happened to the fantastic summer weather that was predicted.

    Beg your pardon, but I've been 'shot down' a few times already, but BAD WEATHER and a WASH OUT summer was predicted when we were six inches to six feet in snow.

    Have you watched the spring this year?

    I was told that long range forecast are unreliable. TRUE. However, a long range forecast that says it will be bad weather, almost always, is bad weather. The difference is in degree.

    A long range FC may say we get an EF5 tornado in Portlaoise, what we may get is a gale-force 9 miserable wet n windy day or two.

    For a fact we are getting away with murder, we are escaping the worst of the weather and BTW God has nothing to do with it, but if one were to have followed the trends, one would have extrapolated a very dismal weather pattern for the summer of 2011 ~ add to that this year's Spring which just reinforced those predictions.

    But yes, Oh God! It's awful being right, why can't I read the signs and watch the trees and flowers and animals and be wrong? Go on God surprise me!

    To be fair, this year nature spoke very loudly, never mind the weathermen, and in Cork we have a legendary broadcaster who issues his own weather predictions and promises rosy weather no matter what the actual forecast is. I'd bet you may have fallen for one of these presenter's weather follies and then blame God!

    Unfortunatly the pattern of last summer ie. another mediocre one for here coupled with heat surge further east into Russia/Eastern Europe, looks like being the case again as we go into July based on tonights models:(.

    Persisitant Northern blocking over Greenland looks set to kill yet another Irish summer stone dead I'm afraid:(

    Still July will be better than June if not warm. I can handle a few cool sunny days. That 1995 Summer was a freak. However I do think that as the Arctic is warming it is dragging Highs up there that are funnelling cool weather down onto us. This sort of messed up Jet Stream has been in place for the last 5 Summers now.

    We can forget about summer until around the third week in August, we'll get the odd warm day or two like the weekend and next Friday. It's interesting to note how easily a not very active Atlantic brushed aside the continental heat over southern England without the expected fireworks!

    Whatever about the absence of warmth - the salmon of the west coast are predicting a drought. You might well think I am doo-lally and you might be right, but these fish have a tendency to migrate upriver more rapidly than normal if a drought is coming, and this is just what they are doing now.

    ...Or maybe the poor fish are just too cold :p

    It is better than the unrelenting misery of the summers of 2007/08 . The low temperatures make this the coolest summer I ever remember.

    Be great if people put even a rough location in their profile, then the rest of us may have some notion of where "here" is :)
