I'd take winter over this excuse for a summer any day! At least if it were December,we'd be all cosy and christmasy,with curtains drawn and fires blazing or even a still,frosty day in January.

Having to look out the window at this tripe until 10 at night in late May is bloody depressing!

I remember last December being wet, overcast and not at all Christmasy. In fact I'm pretty sure some areas recorded their mildest December in over 20 years.

Only a couple of days ago I sat out in the garden under a blue sky all afternoon/evening until 9pm, so I cant complain. It is Ireland afterall, and not even summer yet.

the past 24 hours have felt cold in Dublin alright - haven't had the heat on since March - if it wasn't so expensive I'd blast it on - the sea water was actually not too bad today , very stormy water though

Not too great in the west this evening.

looks like our cool and very wet May is going to extend into the first week of June at least.

Was a very pleasant and dry 16-17 here in Waterford again today. Was sitting out the back under almost unbroken blue sky for several hours. Still very nice out there now.

Weather is lovely here in Ashbourne. Bit chilly, though.

I'm happy Mr. Ring got it wrong as a cold end to May is not good for fruit crops.

“2014 is a year bringing no records broken, no lasting heatwaves and no expected extremes,” he said. “Some things stand out, like the south wetter than the north during the early months, an unusually cold second half of May, and the possibility of flooding in August and November in the West and Midlands.”
