Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

What??? This post deserves to be reported to the highest level possible! Such sacrilege!!! :pac:
1995 was THE year of weather. End of discussion.
If Bryan Adams was a few years younger he'd have written and sang "The Summer of '95"
I think it's only fair that us born from 2000 onwards experience it! Let's go! 0 -

Us folk banging on about '95 was similar to our elders banging on about '75 and '76 back in the day. Those hoors got two lifetime summers out of it back to back. :P0 -

Nothing, but nothing, will ever beat the summer of 76. It just went on and on and on.

Yes, it was 1989.
There was a thread on it last year here. Had a cold April but May to July 1989 was excellent. Was similar to 2018 except 2018 was on a more extreme scale.
Summer 1990 wasn't half bad either with a decent July. June was very poor and August had a hot spell at the start for the east with a lot of dry weather thereafter but a tedious month in the wesht.Artane2002 wrote: »So that means the May max temperature record has been broken? Or maybe I'm mixing it up with something else.
The overall max was 26.8C at Mt. Dillon on 28 May so no record. This makes it the highest May max in the country only since 2017 when Ballyshannon (Donegal) got to 27.2C on May 26th.It's been an amazing Spring. Normally Spring and Autumn are my least favourite seasons as I prefer the chances of warm or hot weather in the summer or cold and snowy in the winter. This Spring has been fantastic for so many reasons, particularly off the back of the very wet and miserable Autumn/Winter just gone. The fantastic weather has made the lockdown far more bearable. This Spring also finally broke the trend of unseasonable or crap seasons over the past year. I really disliked 2019 from start to finish, every season was a disappointment with no real cold or properly warm weather.
I've never walked as much as the past 3 months with so much sunshine and most of it unbroken sunshine too. The garden has been getting loads of attention too after being abandoned for the most part of the past year.
This Spring has actually felt better than many of our summers and we've already had warmer days than we ever got last summer. I can't even remember a Spring this sunny or this dry in my lifetime. Temperatures here in the east were fairly average to slightly milder than average most of the time due to the easterly breezes but we have managed to get some warm days, particularly over the past week. I reckon this could have been a once in a lifetime Spring as this one is going to be incredibly tough to beat.
Summer starts tomorrow and the first 2 days of summer will certainly be seasonal. Hopefully the imcoming cold snap won't stick around for the whole of June. I have a feeling the 2nd half of June will be better and with some luck we could get a half decent July and August!
Have to agree with every bit of what you said Gonzo. This spring was a once in a lifetime season. I'd rank this spring above vast majority of summers I've experienced and May 2020 is my all-time favourite month behind only... yeah I'm not going to say it for the thousandth time
I'm lost with words really at how exceptional it was. I can't remember going on so many walks either, glad I made the most of it.
If there's once small annoyance I have to say, it was the frequency of easterly winds giving quite a chill. The temperatures didn't bother me too much but just the wind itself.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

A quick calculation of the sunshine hours for Dublin Airport last month but it seems May 2020 was the sunniest ever month since records began for the station. The previous record of 274.3 (August 1995) and the total for May 2020 is 284.3 (note data for the 8th was missing so I just took the data from Casement and rounded it up).0

We're all over in Summer now
