It wasn't as bad as 1816 though.

What year was it that the London river totally froze over?
I wouldn't have been like to be around that year either.
Must have been great fun!

Four in a row? We had a couple of great weeks either last year or the year before. If you expect better than that, then you are in the wrong country. Are you new here?

The car thermometre registered 25 degrees today at one point, guess if Bud wasn't just p*ss they owed us some. It was ridiculously hot today. Has been for weeks, without the beautiful 20+ degrees sun and cool evenings of summer 95. Ah, now THAT was some summer. It hit 32 degrees in Wexford, second highest on record apparently. My pony fell on his knees while the farrier was trying to shoe him.

Totally, summer 2007 my parents lost all their hay, and they're not farmers, just rented out a few acres for the nags. The year before an Australian friend said she couldn't get a pumpkin, and wondered why. It was because summer 2006 was so crappy that all the strawberry, hay, wheat, and yes pumpkin harvests failed and rotted. We've had some really awful summers lately, this one has been great. I have a tan for the first time in six years.

they are always over reading on hot days, and if your car is parked out of the shade the reading becomes pretty useless

We were driving down the M50 and it went from 19.5 to 25 while we were driving south. I know it's not accurate, but it actually ROSE while we drove. It was seriously hot at times today, before the heavy rain started. Ah but lovely cold wind.

The economy has being overheating and now it's in the cooling off period.
We can expect a lot of "Sh!te summers" for a good few years to come. . .

Donahg · 05-08-2011 02:15AM

Some of you people really think this has been a good summer? Do you people not remember summer 95 ? That was a good summer.

Bumblegoose · 05-08-2011 02:16AM

Lads isnt the temperature on the weather the temperature in THE SHADE

So its not unusual to see much higher temperatures on thermometers NOT IN THE SHADE

Tayla · 05-08-2011 02:18AM

I think it's been a good summer, more warm dry days than not!

Some people just like to complain about the weather no matter what :P

We have had a very good year by all standards. On my birthday, at the end of February, we went to the zoo, and went wearing tshirts and sweatshirts only. I don't think I wore my coat again until May. My friends got horribly sunburned in college at the end of April! So far this summer has been streets ahead of many of the recent ones. Went to a Foo Fighters gig in August, lovely day, 2008 - Dave Ghrol said he'd been told it had rained for three months solid, yet here was the sun blazing. I remember that summer cause I used to walk with my ex to the Luas at 7am every morning, and it was always with an umbrella. I had to buy him an umbrella in the end. He was from Pakistan and the poor guy was naive enough to think that it was actually just monsoon season in Ireland!! That really gave me a laugh and a half.

he wasnt that far wrong though, the warmest months of the summer are usually the mild and damp/wet, we are a small island with the gulf stream and the atlantic ocean beside us, so when we get our summer the weather goes like this. we actually get our propper summer in April, but its obviosly cooler then, and then it comes back for september when the temperature drops again. but the 'summer' bit can be anything...literally!

I just wish people could get their heads around this is the nature of the island here and its not going to change anytime soon!

Yes but the sun is like a candle come September..

Dangerous Man · 05-08-2011 02:29AM

One theory has it that the sun is in a cycle of low solar activity, and there's no sign of it changing for about another ten years. It doesn't affect all parts of the earth evenly but you can continue to experience more bad summers. So I've heard.

Here's 150 years worth of Data on climate

http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2011/07/31/climate-research-unit-released-climate-dataset-facts-and-figures-for-anyone/

Now you can know for sure when the good summers were

And yes 1995 was a cracker

This guy says no

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/06/17/are-we-headed-for-a-new-ice-age/

Long article but here is the summary

So, to wrap things up in a nice little bow:
1) Claims of an imminent global ice age are at best exaggerated.
2) The link of global cooling to an extended solar magnetic minimum is tenuous, and almost certainly needs something else to force it to occur (like lots of volcanoes), and
3) We’re not even all that sure we’re headed for an extended minimum.

If we didnt have so much cloud cover we would have had a pretty good summer.
