Dreary wet & cold.....is this the trade off for last year's scorcher?

Is God saying "oh well i gave Ireland a great summer last year so this year i'll a give them a less good one"

TheValeyard · 23-06-2019 12:54pm

Give it a week.

iamwhoiam · 23-06-2019 12:56pm

Just been for a grand walk . No rain here

Ireland gets a good summer every eight years on average.

Last year's (2018) was overdue.

The last summer that could have been classed as good before that was 2006.

Stop expecting good summers.

Can't decide if this is better suited to the weather or religion forum :pac:

I think you're right. Thor is upset and his tears are falling. Only explanation for it.

Nice and fresh 26 degrees in my garden, kids in the pool, will be getting the BBQ going soon.

vriesmays · 23-06-2019 1:02pm

This slight change in weather is called climate change - didn't anyone notice those knobs pouring fake blood on their heads outside the Dáil to highlight this.

Hedgelayer · 23-06-2019 1:04pm

I think I'll watch The Shining or Sleepy Hollow, it's the day for it

That can be the case here but I’d say overall more people are keen on avoiding a tan than acquiring one

Capt'n Midnight · 23-06-2019 1:17pm

Ah, summer in Ireland when the rain is less cold

2013 was scorching for about 6 weeks.

Thelonious Monk · 23-06-2019 1:34pm

Nice enough so far in Dublin, warm and no wind at all. Had a nice cycle already but I think the rain is coming.

This is it · 23-06-2019 1:36pm

It's getting a bit dark now but it was a beautiful morning

It's grand here. Trying to rain, though.

Are you paid by Boards to try to keep the forum alive?
Seems like the whole forum is circling the drain and needs a few paid posters or posters with no inner monologue to spit out these sort of threads.

What will I do today ....go for a long walk along beach ....

Get out there and enjoy!!!!

Well it's bucketing down the whole day where I am in the South East by the sea and there's nothing enjoyable about walking on the local beach in wind and heavy rain with 14C covered head to toe in waterproofs, so I'll stay indoors where it's dry and warm thanks all the same. :rolleyes:

It doesn't rain much in Dublin, it's just the lack of sunshine and warm weather that kills me. Roll on retirement on the med.

Immortal Starlight · 23-06-2019 3:07pm

Don’t really mind about the weather. We are all above ground and that’s what really matters.

Spanish Eyes · 23-06-2019 3:25pm

The nights are drawing in now too. Summer Solstice is over.

You have a very poor memory

2014 was good and 2013 was great, better than 2006

Good. True summer weather just doesn’t suit us, particularly in the weeks leading up to the solstice a certain madness can set in those two shocking murders last year in the space of a heatwave? I’m convinced that they were connected

Did you not get a good dose yesterday? You can’t have both now. We’ll ration it out

I think falling asleep outside the tent with that flagon altered my DNA

This is Ireland, get used to it, Dreary, wet , cold, like most of it's inhabitants.

I'm less bothered than I am by scorching sun and searing temperatures that cause my skin to fry, so I'll put up with it. And when it gets too much I take a break somewhere else.

Sometimes I love the rain and I know without it we wouldn't have our beautiful landscape, I just don't enjoy walks on the beach in it.

It was like 17c, but yes it was sunny and nice. That was one day though, I can't even remember the last time it was nice out.

branie2 · 23-06-2019 4:55pm

I'd imagine that some posters here might remember the summer of 1976.

Summer is coming. The men of the days watch have been warning us about it for long enough. Then, thriving in the fire, the zombie hordes will descend on the countries beaches. Only ice will drive them back.

What a Fu*kin Day!
