Summer 2021 General Discussion

Cloudy morning again in Galway but not in an unpleasant way with the cloud layer more of the mid level type.

Not cold, not overly warm, just perfect temps.

esposito · 20-06-2021 11:27am

Pleasantly surprised with today so far. Bright and dry in Dublin.

Hopefully July will be similar to June.

Suns out in Arklow
Lovely day
No rain last night or today
Poor forecasting

Another beautiful day in Dublin 5. Fab run of weather. This summer has already exceeded last and it’s only 3 weeks in :-)

Yep amazing and today was meant to he the rainy day.

Beautifuly yet again here in NCD.

I'm glad I watered the flowers last night.

SleetAndSnow · 20-06-2021 12:58pm

Not great in cork, overcast, had one shower.

pad199207 · 20-06-2021 1:25pm

Beautiful in Kildare today with nice strong sunshine. Tad windy

Gonzo · 20-06-2021 1:31pm

a decent day here in Meath but not the unbroken sunshine of yesterday. We're nearly one third of the way through Summer 2021 and I am happy with the summer so far. This summer would be even better if we could have at least one week of a classic 2013/2018 heatwave at some point.

Very mild tho, not the worst really.

Sun report from Galway:

12.57pm - Sun (filtered through high white cloud) came out and lasted 1 minute and 15 seconds.

1.34pm. Sun came out again. Very strong and unfiltered. A shock to the system and lasted just over 4 minutes.

Since then.. no sun.

Not to worry, sitting out the back (actually very warm out there) and watching these nice clouds like these float overhead is every bit as pleasing to the senses.

In fact, I actually picked up a bit of a cloud tan today. So good going.

Mantis Toboggan · 20-06-2021 3:31pm

Another cracking day in Kildare, roasting, barely a cloud in the sky.

Xenji · 20-06-2021 3:59pm

It has now been 3 weeks since we have had a cloudless sunny day in Castlebar, it was the last time the temperature went over 20C as well.

Chris_5339762 · 20-06-2021 4:09pm

Wall to wall cloud in Cobh, very muggy too.

But much better than the forecast suggested.

Thelonious Monk · 20-06-2021 4:19pm

Totally clear blue skies in Dublin since a couple of hours ago. Have come inside as I've taken too much sun for now. Wasn't expecting this.

I'm the same here in Dublin. Was working n the garden as I thought it was supposed to be a little cooler and cloudier today but had to come in out of the sun. My legs got a bit of a burnng...really nice day again...

KanyeSouthEast · 20-06-2021 4:40pm

Come down and do my garden lads it’s cloudy damp and overcast!

Ed a couple of lovely days during the week Thursday and Friday. Yesterday wasn’t to bad either and at least it’s mild.

Gonzo · 20-06-2021 4:58pm

a peach of a day here in Meath, not a cloud in the sky and strong sunshine, feeling warm too temperature 18C.

snowgal · 20-06-2021 5:02pm

Yes stunning here near Trim, one of the best days this year for me...

Gonzo · 20-06-2021 5:09pm

Mount Dillon currently 21C, the warmest temperature currently throughout Ireland and the UK combined.

The HorsesMouth · 20-06-2021 5:12pm

Best day of the last two weeks here in midlands...feeling hot even though temp is only reading 18c!

Gaoth Laidir · 20-06-2021 5:15pm

The month that keeps on giving. Stunning afternoon here again. I can't remember the last day we had rain here*.

* I'm playing my first game of golf in a long time next Saturday, so it's probably pretty certain that it will be raining then...

Sammy2012 · 20-06-2021 5:22pm

Anyone have any idea what the weather will be like for the week after next. I know they can't forecast the weather one day in advance at the moment but any ideas!

at the moment it's very uncertain. Next 3 days look decent but there is still the chance of a diving dartboard low sinking south over Ireland from Thursday to Saturday which could deliver rather cool and wet conditions. If this low dives south down the eastern part of the UK then we may have a continuation of dryer and warm conditions. The following week could end up chilly with a direct northerly or we could be under the azores high with temperatures into the low twenties. Perhaps by Thursday we will have a better idea how next weekend and beyond will fair out.

Tyrone212 · 20-06-2021 5:30pm

I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere records an air frost on Monday night. Tomorrow the summer solstice as well.

Monday night: A chilly night for June and dry with largely clear skies. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees in a light northerly breeze.

I'm in Roscommon today
Glorious sunshine and heat

SleetAndSnow · 20-06-2021 6:49pm

Just had another shower in cork city. One of the worst evenings here in the last week or two. No blue sky today

Oneiric 3 · 20-06-2021 6:49pm

A dull, overcast and breezy evening in Galway. This summer is turning out to be just a repeat of last summer, where the west was constantly dull and the east basked in near constant sunshine.

Latest satellite says it all.

your definitely thinking of the wrong summer. Last summer was rubbish throughout Ireland from 2nd week of June to the final days of August. Last summer has been discussed many times just how bad it was. The worst thing about last summer wasn't the cool temperatures or the many rainy days but the overall complete lack of sunshine. The only placed baked in near constant sunshine was southern and south-eastern England.

Thank you. We're supposed to be going on our staycation to Kerry on Sat so hoping for some sort of decent weather! Will keep an eye on things over the next few days!

bazermc · 20-06-2021 7:01pm

So when do we expect hose pipe ban to be announced. I’d say another week or two.

You better start praying that todays UKMO and GEM verifys because if it does you will be very happy and so will everyone else in Ireland.

The ECM and GFS drop that dartboard low right over Ireland for next weekend and early next week so those aren't looking particularly nice.
