    Cool and fresh here in West Clare today, but sunny most of the day, so not that bad. Everything has turned so green compared to last week!

    The ten day/two week outlooks on a number of sites is going nowhere near what MT is expecting to unfold. I'm torn, I trust MT but the pessimist in me is thinking the average sunshine and showers will win out!

    If you're looking at the likes of "Accuweather" I find they simply turn to averages after a period of 7 days.

    Next two weeks will be cooler at first , warmer towards end of month but I dont buy into MTs hot end to June. Think it will be early to mid July before low to mid twenties again

    Layman here try to interpret MT's forecast combined with Met Eireann and the BBC in the context of a BBQ on Sunday.. is it relatively safe to assume rain on Sunday arriving into Dublin in the late afternoon rather than any earlier??

    Sunday is looking like a total washout unfortunately, there may be a few drys hours in the morning but wet most of the day, Saturday is not gonna be great either.

    What a difference a few days make, car showing outside temp of 12 degrees in a cool North wind in Galway, this time last week it was around 18/19 degrees.:mad:

    temps here have struggled at 13/14C since Monday, a complete contrast to the previous 2 to 3 weeks. It was almost cold enough yesterday evening to put the heating on. Still chilly today and everyone wrapped up in their winter woolies.

    This weekend will be mostly rubbish, next week see's unsettled theme continuing but at least it should be a good deal milder and maybe even warm at times during any sunny spells.

    At Grange - not very far from you, yesterday was the only day so far this June with a temperature below 17c.

    it rained here most of Monday and Tuesday and drizzled for much of yesterday. Wednesday was the only day this week which was decent. Still 13C right now, don't think we can get much higher than that today.

    It doesn't feel like near like what this week's Grange statistics are telling me with the exception of the sun.

    Rainfall: 9.3mm (78% of the LTA)
    Mean temperature: 14.0c (+1.7c above the LTA - what the hell)
    Sunshine: 16.2 hours (37% of the LTA) - could potentially be my third dullest June week in my records

    The mean temperature is +1.7c above the LTA? :confused:

    Not only that, my whole June mean temperature is still at 15.3c (+3.0c above the LTA).

    Raining since 11am here, wasn't forecasted until this evening if I recall correctly!
    Horrible day with heavy rain at times, mist and drizzle now. West Clare.

    BBC had shown rain for today and tomorrow since Thursday, they got it spot on for the weekend so far, tomorrow was meant to be a washout nearly nationwide.

    This weather really has given me the Summer vibes. It is very warm and sunny today that it just feels unseasonably warm here. I am still sticking to my same predictions from earlier this year that I set!

    June: Dry and warm BUT the potential of thundery downpours at times.
    July: Dry, sunny and warm. Driest July in 27 years.
    August: Rather wet but sunny and warm again.

    So overall according to these predictions, it will be a dry, sunny and very warm Summer.

    In depth of warmth, I'd say:

    June: +1.0 - +1.5c above normal
    July: +2.0 - +2.5c above normal
    August: +0.5 - +1.0c above normal

    Summer overall would be: +1.0 - +1.5c above normal which would make it nearly as identical as Summer 2013 but not nearly as hot as 1995.

    MT... what's your monthly predictions for the individual Summer months?

    Notice how I did not say "sunny" in my June monthly prediction?

    Someone should make a thread called long range summer forecast where people only put their forecasts for june ...well its over, july and august

    No comments just forecasts from all the experts here. Scroll through that lot and youd hv a more than accurate summer forecast

    Also no of words limited ...just an idea

    Anyone think the MT forecast for 2moro seems optimistic. I thought 16 to 19 like met eireann but mt thinks 24c ...hes more right than met usually. I dunno

    event Met Eireann's forecast is optimistic... tomorrow will be a day filled with dark, grey skies and rain and wind, temps will do well to struggle past 14c. I dunno where he's getting temps up to 24c from.

    and as for the next week, it's been downgraded by the day, most places will struggle to get to 18c over the next week, a very unsettled mess for the next 7 days.

    I know we haven't reached the end of June yet but as someone else has previously said the mainstream forecasters are not predicting it to be fine. Such a pity after our fine May and start to June.
    I'm off shortly to Thurles to splash in a few puddles before the match this afternoon so I had better root out the boots and brolly from under the stairs. Up Limerick!

    To me, June was going to be the worst of the three Summer months from the start. In contrast to last year when it was the best of the three Summer months.

    Siobhan Ryan said temps for the past week were a degree above average?
    In what part of the country were temps a degree above normal? In my parts the week was freezing with temps as low as 13c during the daytime. I was even tempted to throw a few logs into the stove during the week!
    It must have been very sunny in western areas?
