    Another dry morning in Dublin 5, cloudier and cooler than you would want this time of year but once it’s dry I can live with it

    Some of us just get disappointed with the lack of warm temperatures and sunshine in June/July/August as you kind of wait all year for it and it nearly always lets you down. You're lucky that it doesn't bother you, wrecks my head.

    Doesn’t bother me as much because we had 3 months of lovely weather before. I am thankful for that amazing weather we got and to be honest July and August could still end up nice.

    Just remember, not all of us got that weather. Rainfall in spring in Cork was pretty much bang on average and rainfall year to date is ahead of the long term mean.

    ground is finally starting to look a bit dryer here in Meath but still some dampness around. Still no sign of the sun, but it's certainly not as bad as the weather we had throughout the weekend and yesterday.

    Oh yeah, hadn't occurred to me there was no wind. Shall make for a pleasant jog this evening. Wind just makes everything worse!

    I'd rather be dry but at least I'm alive

    Cloudy today with just a couple of mils rain in the morning.

    Even though it's going to rain in the Northwest on 90 per cent of the rest of the days in the Summer hopefully it will be in short bursts and not arctic biting wind and sideways rain like the past 100 hours

    I think we reached rock bottom last weekend when it comes to summer weather. Despite a slight threat of some cool and windy weather this Sunday, this weekend should not be anywhere nearly as bleak as the weekend just gone which was an absolute write-off across most of the country. This Saturday could turn out to be pleasantly warm. With a bit of luck Sunday's low will stay more to our north rather than moving down through the country.

    Yes, with four days of rain, in some parts of the country, next weekend could only be an improvement.

    I was walking along a beach today. I had the beach to myself due to the weather. I do enjoy walking on a beach no matter the weather - well, maybe not in storm force 10 winds :D

    Wimp. :p

    Last time I experienced a full storm 10 was on the cliffs of Clifden. An experience.. yet, didn't seem to be as 'felt' as a full gale 8 or 9 would when experienced inland.

    I've just posted my July prediction on weather forum.

    I've gone for depressing guesses of lower than average temperatures + higher rainfall.

    I hope I'll be totally wrong! My June estimates were way too positive so I've learned my lesson!

    Went out for a light run in North East Laois. Slate grey skies as far as the eye can see along with incessant light rain. Not cold but damp and dull. Where is the AZORES...

    A dark wet miserable start to July. I think we have no choice but to write off "summer" 2020. At least the early lockdown weather was pleasant.

    Can we reimpose lockdown to fix the weather?

    This month will be a total write off I'd say bar an odd day here and there and hot weather near the end
