Rain or shine - you may post it here

The plan with this thread is to unofficially survey the weather wherever people read Boardsie from September 1st.

There will be regular correspondents from each of the four provinces informing you of what kind of weather is happening wherever they are located.
Where possible this will be on a daily basis and should be usefull for anyone travelling in their general direction.

Posts from everyone passing through the forum regarding conditions local to them are welcome, and the more the better.
Posts while on holiday are also welcome.

Your post can be as short as "sunny and Warm" plus location.
Or it can be a short rant about the weather on the day of your post, plus the location as long as the rant is entertaining/not too mad.
Pictures/images ( conforming to the decency codes and rules of Boards.ie ) are also welcome, but remember to keep image sizes friendly to 56k modem users or otherwise just paste a link to them.

We hope to collate the results for each area on a regular basis and compile a top ten of places in order of coldness/rainyness/sunshine etc.
*caveat* subject to the information provided here, with no guarantee of it's accuracy:D but hopefully this will actually turn out to be a resource for boardsie users

I'll start the Ball rolling even though it's still august:
Dull but dry and 16 degree's here in Co wicklow.

OK, here is the Galway report.

It's been a good summer here in Galway - normally it rains a lot more. Today is no different, dry and overcast (it's been this way for a few days now), but the sun might pop out. Not sure the exact temp - I'd say at the moment it's 8 - 10 Celcius.

Clear Blue sunny sky this morning in wicklow-but cool.
P.s you can post the temperature if you want, but it doesn't matter if you don't , a comment like Cold or warm will do

It's been raining during the night, but it isn't now. The sun is appearing from behind the clouds and it looks like it could be another good day.

Fine and sunny, little cloud. Doesn't look like rain is coming!!
