    The second half of July will be good but August is monsoon month isnt it?

    I have a feeling August may start off well, but that the settled spell wil break after the first week.

    What a fabulous night sultry and warm went out for a cycle and so enjoyable not to have wind rain or that breeze that’s ever present here. If carlsberg did nights....

    Is there anything nicer than morning warmth with that slightly cooler air...

    Beautiful morning

    Mad how 20 degrees and 70% humidity atm feels freezing vs yesterday! Air is so light and cool despite the high humidity, classic thunder freshening things up feel.

    EDIT: Reading up on humidity its usually at its highest in the morning anyway and not really a case of your classic afternoon high humidity that makes it feel like an oven out there.

    ECM ensembles seem to indicate a pressure rise by that time, the trend is your friend.

    I thought the weather was meant to be awful after yesterday. It’s about 22 degrees here in Dublin 5, quite pleasant

    I could be wrong but I recall August 2015 being very warm

    August yeah is usually awful where the jetstream get's powered up and the PV start's to rebuild. Most of Europe usually enjoys a very hot August but Ireland is usually back into an Autumn pattern by that stage. However this is not always the case and there has been warm and settled August's in the past. Right now most of the long term models are hinting towards a settled and slightly warmer than average August which extends into early Autumn as well.

    The long term models have been very good so far this year. Most of them predicted this relatively unsettled June and at the time around the 1st of June some of us were quite skeptical of their June outlook, but they have proven to be correct again. I am now hoping for a warmer and dryer second half of the summer. July will probably be a continuation of relatively cool and Atlantic driven weather into the first week of the month but hopefully by mid month we will see a big shift towards high pressure and the Atlantic blocking up for a few weeks at least.

    21.5 degrees in D9. Lot of cloud bubbling up just to my south - will get to yesterdays max I'd imagine (22.7 to beat) if it holds off a little or steer clear of the sun.

    temperatures will likely lower from the early afternoon as cooler air moves in. Back to normal service everywhere from tomorrow.

    I'm really getting sick of this humidity, you're cold one minute and you do something and next minute you're sweating. I've gone through too many clothes and had too many showers over the last few days!

    Yes. The long range models are indicating this. The blocking over Scandinavia is signalled to last till the first week of August. We may well have a breakdown before then, though. Hopefully any breakdown is thundery in nature.

    Humidity does not bother me at all these days. Much prefer it to cool Atlantic muck.

    Really not looking forward to the cool westerlies over the next ten days or so.

    Yesterday felt like I was in Spain or the US and it was bliss!

    Cloudy, humid day in cork city again. Some spits of rain just now too. Only about 15°c aswell. The difference that can pop up around this country always interests me! Enjoy the weather east coast :)

    That’s not correct I’m afraid. Summer 2015 was second coolest summer of the century so far behind 2011. All 3 months had below average temperatures. August 2016 was relatively warm which maybe the one you’re thinking of.

    a lovely warm morning here in Meath, currently 22C, however the cooler air is not far away now with cooler temperatures heading northwards over the next few hours, will be fairly fresh in most place by this evening.

    24C now at Phoenix Park, that will probably be today's high. A few thunderstorms breaking out in Northern Ireland.

    Still 22C here at Dunshaughlin and cloud is increasing. A beautiful day so far and gave the lawn another cut just in time to take advantage of one more dry day.
