Not to be taken seriously at this stage, but this is the latest ECM model run 10 day rainfall total forecast:
Not very often that you see Connemara standing out as being the driest place in the land.
If this model chart turns out to be correct it would be good news for Dublin water supply.0 -

Are we heading into a 2012(I think it was) summer where the east and south had endless rain and west was best?0 -

Charts are starting to trend a bit dryer again but there is alot of uncertainty. As mentioned earlier most of the rain forecast over the next one to two weeks is from the north or the east, not the Atlantic. The Azores high has moved to our west, and this may still be enough to keep Ireland largely dry, maybe eastern areas a bit wetter. The UK still looks in store for a soaking over the next week to 10 days but Ireland not so much.
The ECM see's the low pressure this weekend sliding down the eastern coast of the UK, Ireland at the very western extent of this so there may not be much rain for us this weekend.
Early next week the ECM keeps us largely dry and more settled with temperatures recovering slightly. Eastern parts of UK still look quite unsettled with low's sliding down the eastern side of the country.
We do get a low sliding down over us next Thursday but this is a whole week away and it wouldn't take much to slide this low to our east, and we would miss out on this as well.
That low moves to our south after this and we draw in a warm and settled easterly after this.
The UKMO does not have this low pressure next Thursday, we stay under the influence of the azores high.
The UKMO keeps Ireland fairly dry over the next week.
The latest GFS keeps Ireland relatively dry till next Wednesday or Thursday then we get that low sliding down over the country which would bring much needed rain, but this is a week away, and even as is, the rainfall from this low doesn't look that heavy away from our east coast.
The tracking of the lows later next week will be important, we could get a a spell of light to moderate rain or we could end up seeing no rain at all, this is something we will have to watch over the next few days for those who want rain. Certainly western and south-western areas of the country stand the greatest chance of seeing little in the way of rain or perhaps none at all.
This mornings GEM keeps Ireland very dry next week and it extends the Azores high right over us by the end of next week. The GEM is rolling out again so perhaps the new update will change this.
Perhaps by the end of this weekend we will have a better idea what we are in store for next week, will we get this more unsettled scene from next Thursday or will we remain on the dry side.0 -

Great analysis there Gonzo.
Unfortunately for those of us in need of rain, it can be summed up with just three words "drier than normal" and more so in the west0 -

Not much rain in the last week. Totals ranged from 13mm in Knock to zero, zilch, nada in Sherkin Island.
Running national mean 7 day % total over the last week. Rising, but still remaining well below normal.

rainfall will start increasing from this week. A band of mostly light rain and showers will cross the country Tuesday evening introducing colder air. On Wednesday a low should track down across the country from the north, currently it looks like northern and eastern areas most at risk. The track of this low could change meaning other areas of the country could be more affected or if it tracks more towards eastern UK, we could miss out on it. From Thursday we go into an easterly with more showers, mainly in eastern areas and from then on the south looks more at risk with showers and these possibly heavy.
I get the feeling much of this could be hit or miss, south-western areas probably escaping most of the rain this week.
Projected rainfall totals over the next week:
This probably isn't enough rain for the farmers but it's safe to say the dry spell is over. This should be enough rain to turn most gardens green again.0
