    Early days still but an improvement on the models for next weeks outlook. Some further warm weather reaching the low 20s looks possible now.

    It's been a week since it last rained. 8 more days to go until we can declare a drought for the second Summer in a row.

    Kermits event thread closed.

    Event not finished here in Bray though :D

    Lovely little micro-climate enclave wrapped on all four sides by the sea and Wicklow/Dublin Mountains. This is Day 6 or 7 of near constant sunshine here. The first few days it was Blue skies after about noon when the sea fog burnt off. The last few days it was blue skies after about noon when the higher level wavy cloud burnt off or was dissolved by Dublin mountain uplift or something. Perhaps its the sea breeze pushing it a few miles inland. At any rate whatever the cause, the Sat images would show the cloud boundary dissolving at the Dublin Mountains SoCoDU area putting Bray and extreme east coast in the clear while the rest of the country has a lot of haze/cloud.

    Lovely cooling sea breeze on the seafront while only a hundred metres back from the seafront Hot Hot Hot without being Oppressive Oppressive Oppressive :D

    A fine Summers day in Bray is now heaven ever since Dublins finest found a new playground in Howth and Portmarnock.

    A pleasant 20 and mostly sunny here in Waterford now.

    Looks like it will last until a break of sorts on Wednesday.

    The cloud/haze developing over the country right now grazed us in Bray for about an hour from 10-11am but the sea breeze/maritime air or whatever the reason has once again pushed it back inland a few miles, so it's looking like another Blue Sky Stunner in Bray again today.

    Well another disappointing day. Lovely start for an hour or two followed by cloud cover. It looks like it could rain. Those 2.5 days of sunshine last week are a distant memory. (Leitrim area)

    I'd say a familar story throughout much of the midlands. I was in Tulsk and Athlone today. Great morning until about 11 AM, then the clouds rolled in and stayed for the day

    Today marks at least seven straight days if virtually unbroken sunshine in Costa Del Bray. Could be more. Can't remember what the previous weekend was like??

    15th day in a row here with zero rain so far. Lawn turning yellow, ground where I haven't watered is like concrete. Hoping for some rain here soon!
