A mixture of everything in Castlebar today, strong winds, torrential downpours and spells of lovely bright sunshine.

We are the exact same in North County Dublin.

Windy so so windy. It feels like one of those days in October.

A sunny 14 degrees in East Clare, fair breezy though.

Not really.
Sunny between showers though if you wanted to get out for a walk.
Got the young lad out for an hour earlier without him getting wet.

Today ended up better than I expected, decent dry spells between the showers with plenty of sunshine. Still a crap day by July standards but considering the forecast it could have been a lot worse

Positive forecast after the 9 O'Clock news there now,once we get tues out of the way there should be a few pleasant days

Just got a brief but nice view of the moon in close proximity to Jupiter and Saturn in a lucky break in the clouds. There has been slim pickings for viewers of the night sky here in this part of the west recently due to the fairly persistent cloud or rain and drizzle.
Spent time along the banks of the River Moy this evening and it felt truly autumnal. For weeks on end this river was showing its bare bones due to lack of rainfall but now it is flowing big and full of life again and almost 80cms higher. The tap is well and truly turned on again!
We had some fairly wild and squally showers on Sunday afternoon that gave the trees in leaf a right old battering and indeed one ended up across a local road here. Last weekend was a complete washout and was truly miserable. Very poor fare for July so far. Those golden days at the end of May and the first of June are beginning to feel like a dream at this stage. Really hoping for something a lot more settled and a couple of decent summer days.

Hope things calm down somewhat

17 of the past 31 days in Sligo have been moderately windy or very windy

In fact 2020 seems like a very windy year overall. Even in the drought a lot of it was caused by the constant strong winds.

Plus I have 3 wind caused injuries including one caused yesterday when the wind blew the car door on my arm. Still at least the tree that blew down the previous weekend didnt land on my windscreen

Disappointed with todays weather. Met Eireann forecast was dry + bright day.

Instead we still have that poxy wind which means its not very pleasant to be out in as keeps it cool. Also mainly overcast here all day with very black clouds just now so Id say the rain is not faraway yet again.

When will summer ever start?

Baysports is brilliant! They have the place really well set up with covid measures in place. For me it’s probably the best kids day out that I have come across

Heading off to Athlone for a long weekend away this weekend. Kids are hyped over Bay Sports there, hoping for decent weather, fingers crossed.

Spending a few days in Mayo and Galway.

Lovey day in Connemara, bright and no mist meaning all the mountains are visible. Feeling pleasantly warm and just a light breeze.

Better make the most of it as a heavy rainfall warning is in place for tomorrow!

Saw something on Twitter about Storm Eduoard on a direct hit for Ireland! The Joint Cyclone Cente had it aswell so its probaly not gona happen!

Litteraly just copped the "Joint" cyclone centre!! That explains everything lol!
