    I still think this Summer is going to be a good one. Not a brilliant one by any means but pleasant enough.

    1976 - Brilliant, 1986 - Atrocious, 1996 - Fairly pleasant, 2006 - Very good. Years ending in with '6' generally have good summers.

    Much of the UK has been having terrible weather past few days while we have had summer. London and the south-east has struggled in low teens past few days with flooding in some areas. Now the east coast of Ireland has joined England and Wales in cooler conditions. This weekend, next week and the week after will see warm conditions in most places, although it may not as settled as it has been.

    Luckily for us in Eastern England normality will resume soon! :(:P
    Been diabolical the last few days, but back to being warmer than Ireland Saturday onwards. :pac:

    Humidity and clouds looks set to increase from Sunday on. Sun lovers should have their fill got by then! Prefer the higher humidity and sticky dead heat myself :)

    Can't wait for the sticky dead heat. Sure who needs sleep?

    Thanks to my wonderfully insulated Irish house, the heat REFUSES to leave, ensuring the room stays a cosy 24c. Can't wait to have 24c and humidity!

    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?
    !!!!

    Did anyone see MT's forecast for next week?

    "NEXT WEEK may bring some heavier showers and thunderstorms with frontal passages, and between these it could be very warm at times, in the 24-27 C range. "

    Feels like the hottest day so far today in West Clare. Currently 22.8c, the second hottest temperature I've recorded this year. Very breezy, but in a sheltered area its sweltering hot.

    Looking at the models there would appear to be an increasing likelihood of heatwave conditions developing later next week with no break in the fine weather for the forseeable future.

    The GFS and UKMO are best for these prospects.

    AccuWeather is famously inaccurate, after 4 or 5 days they just go by averages, with no other factors put in.

    The high temps will remain with some possible >25c next week in heat traps. Humidity levels will begin to rise though from Sunday bringing an increased risk of (isolated) thundery showers breaking out.

    The east coast could be quite a deal warmer next week than it has been past few days, perhaps a few 23c and even 24c's, unlikely to be as sunny. Will hopefully avoid most of the showers.

    The warmest day of the year here near Tralee getting up to 23.0C in open countryside and currently 19.7C. Got into the car in Tralee today and it was reading 32C, could barely hold the steering wheel. Was driving around for 15 mins and it remained at 27C in the centre of town.

    Temps into the low 20s again today locally (east Galway). Big difference from this day last year when maxima barely graced 13c.

    Chart for this this day last year:

    150602_1200_3.png


    Much different to today, with the north Atlantic region under a much warmer set up.

    160602_0000_15.png


    A great spell of weather, but still not as warm as June 2nd 2009, when it reached about 29c here locally with 28.6c being officially recorded at NUIG on this day.

    Charts from Vedur.is

    Has anyone ever noticed the destructive weather continental Europe gets anytime ireland gets any prolonged fine summer weather e.g severe thunderstorm,people being struck by lightning,torrential rains,flooding ,the louvre being closed...etc

    It goes to show how much of an upset it is to the atmosphere over Europe and how abnormal fine weather over ireland is,and just how atrocious our weather is most of the time.so am I right in thinking that for the continental summer climate to function properly I.e to be pleasant sunny,warm and summer like ireland must suffer under the southwesterly atlantic regime most of the time.

    A Scandinavian high would give us very warm/hot weather and good weather over most of Europe.
    The high is badly positioned right now for Europe, the low pressure over Europe wanted to push west but is being blocked.

    this is an extremely rare event with days on end of warm sunshine in Ireland and cold almost January temps in south-east of England and flooding.

    Don't feel bad about it because the majority of times they have the high 20s and low 30s while we are struggling in the mid teens with drizzle, rain, wind.

    I wonder is this fine spell preluding something more ominous for the rest of the summer? Both June 2007 and 2009 started fine and warm and then...

    Oh good point :eek::eek:. But June 2007 started off horrible also (I recorded up to 50mm already by the third day - 107% of my whole June LTA).
