    Probably because a lot of it is not in London
    Most of it is over sea still with the heavier bursts actually perilously close to the Wicklow and wexford coastline atm
    A lot of it is high based too,common enough in a Spanish French origin

    That was a lovely summers morning with no wind in Dublin, Met.ie have changed their chart as having no rain today(rain was predicted originally) but their description of the forecast as well as the radar says it will rain! Contradiction :)

    That's an anomaly on their new website where they have graphics tables derived from a specific grid point for noon for example on harmonie meaning if theres marginal something nearby,its useless
    Human intervention in the written and broadcast forecast shows the correct forecast

    Am I right to assume looking at the models this morning that the warmer weather that appeared in FI yesterday for next week has been replaced by a low pressure that isn’t really going anywhere fast....

    Was looking at weather around the world. There is pretty much no place on the planet that is colder than Ireland right now. A few, like Iceland, are similar temperature, maybe one or two degrees cooler. But in general, almost nowhere on the planet with a human population is it seriously colder than it is here.

    The southern hemisphere where it's winter is all warmer than here?

    You picked the perfect time to go away. If there was ever a week to head off to the sun, this week was it. It's been awful here over the past 5 days, we've had fires lit every single day.

    Today has probably been the best day we've had all week, certainly felt the mildest. It was dry here up till a while ago but it's spitting rain yet again.

    Yesterday the ensembles were looking more promising for later next week, but this has changed alot today with a continuation of relatively cool and unsettled conditions lasting for at least another 7 to 10 days. It is set to get slightly milder next week, but temperatures look like they may not peak much past 16 or 17C at best.

    The morning certainly was nice in Dublin (pic attached of Clontarf) as was yesterday evening but back to reality since around midday with on and off spitting rain and overcast.

    latest GFS has rolled out, and things continue to slide away in the medium term, a definitely upgrade for cool and wet conditions later next week and into next weekend.

    Looks cool and unsettled with low pressure right over Cork.

    GFSOPEU12_156_1.png

    This is followed by a cool or cold plunge developing from the north-east with low pressure firmly in the driving seat.

    GFSOPEU12_186_1.png

    By Monday 17th June, there are signs of High pressure and warmer weather, but this is already pushed back 5 days since yesterday and so far away that my confidence of this is very low.

    This is all thanks to the extreme northern blocking, something which we would sell our souls for in winter, but the last thing we want to see during summer.

    Dull black sky here this evening. You’d guess late September maybe other than the bloom. So so disappointing. Longest days of the year and you can’t enjoy them really after work.

    Ireland must get one of the worst "summers" on the planet if you like warmth and sunshine

    When was the last time we had two fantastic summers back to back?

    This year feels like we are paying dearly for the fabulous one last year.

    Just thinking it’s 12 degrees outside now. What temperature was it in Ireland on Christmas Day last?

    Did the weather not just change though last year in the middle of July and summer was over then? It was only half a fabulous summer if I remember correctly. Can you imagine having nice weather from June to September, drool.
