    Cracking day in North Donegal today.

    Nice heat too.

    You wouldn't know the school year was approaching.

    Out here we have a total mist/drizzle out! No mountains, no ocean and to venture outside is to be drenched fast.

    Wonderful!

    Giving summer 10/10 anyways. each season is itself.

    It rarely gets anywhere near 30 in Dublin.

    Last summer it was up around 27 and 28 quite a bit. At least it felt that way.

    Two known dates that 30c was observed in Dublin at an official station was 2 August 1990 and 19 July 2006 so it’s possible but very very rare.

    I just realised that I recorded 30 on the 28th June last year. But there weren't very many 27s or 28s over the summer.

    Not a regular in the weather forum but is there any way to check weather of dates gone by this year or in years past, specifically rainfall? i.e if I wanted to check how much it rained on a specific date last year.

    1/10 + 7/10 + 3/10 ÷ 3 = 3/10, rounded to the nearest whole number. How did you get 5/10 from your individual ratings for each month?

    You could also argue that different weightings should apply to different months. With higher values attributed to the traditionally warmer months of July and August.

    Athenry has had 227mm of rain thus far in August (average Aug is 107mm).

    Dublin Airport 89mm thus far (average 73mm)

    The rainfall difference between east and west is huge.

    Funnily the washout day on saturday Aug 10th had only 27mm of rain there with the vast majority recorded over just 2 hours in the afternoon.

    Thanks for that link syran.

    I have found in the last 10 year or so that outside of the winter months August has been our wettest month, 11 Augusts straight now of having 100mm of rain or more.

    Phoenix got above 25 degrees 10 times last summer across June, July and August. Above 27 just the 4 times (max 27.7 at a quick glance). Closer to me in Glasnevin it was also 10 days but 5 of those came in August which was outside the really fine summer weather of June and July. Many of those days stayed below 25.

    We definitely get it good in Dublin but we do struggle hitting those maxes further inland stations get. It's a consequence of our fine weather usually coming with sea breezes or easterlies.

    Every mile west makes a difference. Even here at Dunshaughlin, only 20 minutes from the Airport and we've had 114mm of rain, a difference of about 26mm from the Airport.

    Phoenix Park is lower still at only 66mm, close to half the amount of rainfall of places just down the road.

    Dublin rarely exceeds 25C unless there is exceptional circumstances such as direct hit high pressure, high upper air temperatures, no Atlantic fronts trying to break through and light offshore winds usually from a ssw direction.

    The easterly breezes usually keeps Dublin several degrees cooler in the summer and up to 5 or 6C cooler in May when there is high pressure with easterly breezes.

    And the differences within the west is even huger. Only 71.4mm in Belmullet, making it the second driest station (and only marginally higher than PP) in the entire country this August so far.

    Will be interesting to see if Athenry will break its August rainfall records this year, though personally, I think it will fall way short.

    Left North Kerry this morning under blanket cloud and threat of rain.. and car saying 16 degrees

    By Limerick it was 22 degrees doing motorway driving according to the car. And blue skies all the way from about Moneygall to Dublin.

    I simply could not be doing with the weather down there. Crap all weekend.

    Absolutely beautiful day in Kilkenny- probably the best of this little settled spell (so far).
