    I know, relatively impossible to predict but I have to take a weeks leave over July & August and would love to know if anyone thinks we're due for some sun over July & August?!

    I would suggest following Simon Keeling's weather update on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/WeatherSchool/videos

    It's too far away to tell accurately to be completely honest.

    I booked a weeks holiday last year in Kerry on the back of the forecasts that I saw here and they got it spot on. Any chance ye can do it again this year please? Second week of August looking any good? :)

    It's not scientifically possible at the moment to make specific forecasts for such a small part of the world as Ireland at such a range. Even the best supercomputers in the world usually start making errors beyond about 5 days, sometimes earlier - so months in advance is just impossible. Any forecasts for such a small region at such timescales that turn out to be accurate is nothing more than pot luck, unless you believe in the supernatural. ;)
