Came back here and felt instant sluggishness and difficult to be motivated. Seriously considering the move to a warmer climate. Our weather is the pits.
I disagree. We're being put in a state where significant cold snow events are rarer like how we were before 2008-2010 came! The period 1997-2007 was very snowless here. The only snowfalls I recorded were December 2000, February, March and December 2001, Christmas Day 2004, March 2006, February and March 2007.
The reason why I loved the snowfall of late November 2010 wasn't just the fact that it was snowfall
, it was also because it brought very sunny conditions - the 27th and 28th November 2010 were whole sunny days here. So how did it snow with no clouds in the sky?

I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles. What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem! Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...
The summers of 2006, 2013 and 2014 stick out in my mind a featuring lots of brilliant sunny weather, day after day, 2006 having something like 20 days of sunshine in June if I remember correctly! 2012 was very bad I think. I have feint memories of brown grass and idyllically sunny weather, blue skies, in the summer of 1995, but I was very young and it could be an invented memory, but I remember either 1996 or 1997 being very wet and me being annoyed as a child that the summer in Ireland wasn't like the way it was on cartoons based in America

It was 1997 that was "very wet" but August 1996 was quite wet whilst the other two months of Summer 1996 were dry especially June which was the driest since 1975. No it's not an invented memory, it's a true fact about 1995. August 1995 was the sunniest, driest and hottest August on record in Ireland. It was also one of the sunniest, driest and hottest months on record in Ireland.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

The funny thing is you don't realise when you're having a good run of weather until you're nearly out of it. But if it's been raining for two days, it feels like two weeks.
It really doesn't rain all that much on the east coast. I cycle to work every day so I'd be more conscious of the weather than a lot of others. There was a period early last Autumn, September to October, where it didn't really rain at all for a good 6 weeks. I never got rained on nor saw wet ground on my travels.
After that then it pissed pretty solidly for about 4 weeks and we got 4 or 5 five storms in a row. But that was quite exceptional even for Ireland.
And you probably won't believe me, but the March just gone was way drier than usual, around half the average rainfall for March.
Like I say, you don't notice it until it's already gone.
In terms of sunshine, you will see a lot more sunny days come early June. August and September are usually the best months for it.
It's not only rain or no rain though. The problem in Ireland is the low cloud cover. This stops the vital sunshine getting through and this is what brings me down personally.
looking forward to June then
