Summer 2019 - General Discussion

Very disappointing weather over last few days in North County Dublin. Hasn't hit more than 18 degrees at Dublin airport + cloudy. However this morning looking a bit better so hopefully sun will stay.

Don't get me wrong it's still nice weather but not the heatwave temperatures that were predicted ! Although the west seems to be doing better.

Cloudy in Dublin 5. I have to laugh.

ninebeanrows · 26-06-2019 10:07am

Feeling quite chilly out there in the breeze!

ninebeanrows · 26-06-2019 10:08am

At least it looks set to turn mostly sunny now for next 3 days

sryanbruen · 26-06-2019 10:59am

This spell so far is truly pathetic and one to forget. Even England had a massive flop with the expected thunderstorms on Monday night and Tuesday morning which never happened.

It’s just fail after fail.

appledrop · 26-06-2019 11:01am

Yep, it's actually cold out there now in wind. I stupidly wore 'summer clothes' so I'm freezing.

this is almost on the level of the epic fail cold that was predicted for February. No warm spell here at all, every day cloudy from beginning to end. I'm wondering will we even get warm temperatures tomorrow and the 'breakdown' begins on Friday. Very dissapointing.

Only 36 hours ago we were forecasted to be 22C+, Southern England was supposed to be into the 30s. Temperatures there are even lower than here in Ireland.

appledrop · 26-06-2019 11:08am

Well some one needs to tell Met Eireann because they still have up their stupid forecast with high temperatures. It's a joke.

Graces7 · 26-06-2019 11:39am

Utterly sheerly lovely day out here in the Atlantic. Warm sun and a sweet refreshing breeze to keep what clouds there are moving.. ah BLISS!

Gonzo · 26-06-2019 11:42am

Sun breaking through nicely here now, but there is very little warmth to it with that chilly breeze.

Obviously not. Met eireann factual reading for 12pm at Dublin airport was 15, yes 15 degrees and cloudy.

Cop on Met Eireann+ update your forecasts based on actually weather.

The cloud has proved to have been a little bit more stubborn to shift than was anticipated, hence the untrue readings however the sunshine symbol should become valid within the hour for the Dublin region as a clearance is edging in from the east as I type.

As NIMBYism is quite evident on this forum, temperatures being reported at non-official weather stations in Dublin city and suburbs (where people actually live) are currently ranging from 16 - 18c so not far off that 19c mark. Sheltered parts of urban Dublin should hit or exceed the 20c mark this afternoon when it is sunnier.

Tigerandahalf · 26-06-2019 1:19pm

Gorgeous day, warm but little humidity.

Oneiric 3 · 26-06-2019 1:25pm

There seems to be a curious perception on here that the east of the country is doing poorly this June compared to the rest of the country regarding temps. Not true.

Mean maxima for some eastern located stations this June so far (top 5 warmest)

Phoenix Park: 16.8c
Oak Park: 16.5c
Mullingar: 16.2c
Casement: 16.1c
Dunsany: 16.0c

=coolest: Johnstown Castle: 15.2c / Dublin Apt at 15.7c

By comparison, same data from more western based stations:
Top 5 warmest:

Mt. Dillon: 16.8c
Shannon: 16.5c
Gurteen: 16.1
Athenry: 16.0c
Newport: 15.9c

=coolest: Knock: 14.2c / Malin Hd: 14.4c / Belmullet 14.8c / Finner Camp 15.2c

Data - Met Eireann.

Summary: West coast has been cooler than the east coast, as has the SW and N coasts. Warmest inland with little discernible difference between station readings.

I feel that if you update in about 30 - 45 minutes, you may have something sunnier to report.

the sun is here in Meath now, hopefully will get sunny in Dublin very soon.

highdef · 26-06-2019 1:55pm

Sun beginning to break through in Inchicore. Skies not too blue here just yet but expect pretty clear skies in about 20/30 minutes, probably decent blue skies already appearing nearer the east coast of the city now.

big improvement on this morning and the past few days. Breeze has died down a bit here thankfully.

Mobhi1 · 26-06-2019 2:43pm

The sky has cleared a lot here in Dublin 11 - mostly blue with some small clouds. And it's 18.1C here now with little wind.

Artane2002 · 26-06-2019 2:48pm

Breaking news: Sunny now in Dublin City Centre. Still a fair amount of cloud but it doesn't matter to me.

OldRio · 26-06-2019 3:08pm

Fully clouded over in Leitrim. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw rain. This is not what was forecast this morning.
Another disappointing day in our 'heatwave'

mean gene · 26-06-2019 3:13pm

Cork city dark and cloudy. Sun as usual will appear at 630 when the day is done _heatwave me arse

Graces7 · 26-06-2019 3:27pm

LOOK! No socks! summer is here...;)

I feel your pain

.. Here in Carrigaline its been cloudy all day, dark clouds also. A main feature of the last week or so has been CLOUD and more Cloud. Sun makes a rare visit in gaps .. Last few evenings yes, cloud has cleared around 6. Not sure that will happen today.

Heatwave .. YES we have .. above the cloud

Thelonious Monk · 26-06-2019 4:33pm

Soon as I finish work I’m going straight to the grand canal to dump rubbish all over the place as is the annual tradition

Glorious evening in Carlow, just in from the back garden, kids jumping on their trampoline in their pjs!!
Love this time of year!

Ultimate Seduction · 26-06-2019 10:21pm

Summer playing out pretty much how Sryanburren said it would so far. Let's hope it stays accurate. Next week looks glorious in the chats!

How Soon Is Now · 26-06-2019 10:25pm

So according to the met eireann app when I checked it the start of the week Saturday was to have heavy rain high temperatures.

So over last few days that changed to Saturday being a dry day very high temperatures. Now it's fecking back to how it originally was again!!

Wtf?

What are you meant to believe? Lol.

I prefer May and June over July/August so it's a shame to see them go to waste like they have. I really love the long sunny evenings which we didn't have many of this year. Today was a great day after the cloud cleared off though.

I'm going on holidays at the start of July, just when the models are showing an improvement in weather conditions. I went away last year on the hottest day of the summer!

MT has the east as warmest and sunniest on Friday with weather moving in from the west, yet Met have the West coast as warmest, Kilkee 9c warmer than tramore on Fri?

I'm just thinking of which beach to go to with the kids while I have time off work

Ah jaysus.. it's a stretch of grass between the two. I wouldn't be the most aware when it comes to townland demarcation.

I parked the car in Malahide before running if that counts

Is Malahide AFC in Portmarnock?

appledrop · 27-06-2019 9:43am

What a stunning summer morning. If we can just get rid of this wind in Dublin it's looking good. Come on the heatwave!

Summer Summer Summertime!

I'd say West would be better if not too far away. It hit 22 degrees yesterday in Athenry + Valentina but we were stuck with 17 at Dublin airport. Also warning for high temperatures all for West coast.

eon1208 · 27-06-2019 9:51am

Met eireann are now giving heavy rain likely Saturday. How likely is this. Up to an hour ago the were only giving 0.9mm or so. That would be fine for my farming job I'm in the middle of. But heavy rain saturday into Sunday would scupper me. Can Sryan or Gonzo update on this because the good dry weather seems to be going out with a bang. I need to take alternative tomorrow if more than light rain falls over the weekend. Advice really appreciated folks.

appledrop · 27-06-2019 9:55am

21 degrees already in Valentina at 9am. Pretty amazing.

Come on Dublin you can do it lets get to over 20 degrees!
