    In all fairness though it has been a pretty good day by recent standards until around 5 and felt mild enough.

    I think my standards or expectations have grown somewhat after summer last year and February.

    The ME Forecast on RTE has been upgrading this weeks cold all day, this morning they were saying temperatures 2 degrees below average, this afternoon they were saying 2 to 3 degrees below average and on a recent forecast I heard them say 2 to 4 degrees below average.

    Awful evening here at Dunshaughlin, had about 5 brief downpours during the day, light rain and drizzle for past 2 hours. Fire well and truly lit. Looks like we will be lighting fires into next week. I don't remember ever having a June week where we are lighting fires all week.

    Was supposed to be dreadful here in Cork from about midday onwards, but we have seen only a touch of rain. Its chilly though, but much better than I was expecting the day to be.

    Very mixed bag in Dublin today. Lovely + sunny this morning but cold in the breeze. Off to bloom we went + everyone had jackets as freezing in open Phoneix Park. Grand once inside + mild when sun briefly appeared. However plenty of rain showers + by 6pm lashing + only 12 degrees. This is the worst May/ start of June I ever remember.

    Wishing i had not read back ... what collective misery!

    Out here, I snugged in and knitted socks and read and watched youtube..
    Bliss..

    ANYHOO!

    IT IS SHEERLY LOVELY OUT!

    My "scatter of cats" took me for a ramble around five am... we watched the sun rise gold and bright between the mountains and I picked wild flowers as we ambled along, they racing and playing as I picked wild flowers. Listened to the cuckoo and skylark..

    Certainly fresh, but still and clear.

    Some similarities with June 2012 but I wouldn’t say it’ll be as bad as that was. Second week of June 2013 is another time that I found comparable to now.

    And what’s worse is the rain looks like it’s going to pivot much further west than originally forecast and remain over us all day FFS

    Miserable as it is, I’m glad to see some rain. The council has already been advising us to conserve water usage, as water tables haven’t recovered significantly since last summer. A wet June and warm July and August- I’ll take that, thanks

    Exactly, water table in the midwest was diminishing to a critical point until last week. An interval of steady rainfall is welcome to offset the balance, and allow for a prolonged dry spell later on.

    absolutely horrendous morning here, heating and lights on. Lots of surface water.

    Was watching gavs weather yesterday and he is already talking about the possibility that this June could be similar to June 2012 in terms of northern blocking and hinting that this cool+unsettled spell could last for weeks. The one thing that's locked in right now is the next 7 to 10 days look terrible, after that we just have to hope that the models and weather improve in time for July and August.

    And what if it's just the start of a three month prolonged wet spell?

    If we were sure of a warm and dry July and August sure I doubt anyone would care too much about the recent weather..

    A bad case of the "what ifs"...

    if that happens we will cope and as bravely, competently and cheerfully as we always do.

    oh I know that - but saying you're ok with today's weather because of the water table in advance of dry weather is by Irish standards very presumptuous..

    He said that he interpreted the post as saying we're expecting a prolonged dry spell after this wet weather (so completely ok with the fact it's raining now in case of drought concerns if we were to have the dry spell) which one should not assume in Ireland.

    Might have been a clunkily constructed sentence but not that hard to understand..

    If hot dry weather was on the horizon then I could understand statements of concern about refilling water reserves or the water table... but as it is there is as much chance of a wet summer as there is warm dry weather.

    So I don't really see the truly desperate national need for rain.
