    Turned cloudy now in Dublin after a bright morning. Still this week in Dublin has definitely been the best so far this summer. Over 20 degrees most days + plenty of sunshine during the week.

    For those of you saying it was dry that wasn't the case in Dublin. We had 82.9mm in June a very wet month. It was also very cold apart from last week in June. Last 3 years mean temperature was 14-14.5 degrees in June but only 12.5 this year.

    Thankfully July has been great so far so hope it continues!

    Warm and sunny in Waterford City. Temp 22.4c at my station. Very light NW breeze so not getting that cooling off the sea.

    With an Irish rainfall total of 80.7mm, June 2019 fits just outside the top 60 wettest months of the 2010s decade and 55th driest so nearly bang in the middle pretty much. Not remarkably wet nor remarkably dry.

    In terms of summer months, it's about the same. June 2012 had 167.9mm in comparison (whilst June 2018 was 27.4mm). June 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2017 were all wetter than June 2019 using this rainfall series.

    Used to live very close to the east coast (first 30 years of my life spend there) but have been living about 40km inland for almost 10 years. The sea breeze is one thing that I do not miss one bit....EVER! Just when the morning was feeling like it was going to be a nice warm one, on would come the sea breeze and ruin it for the day, only dying down around sunset.....what a tease!!!!

    That, and the seagulls!!!!

    Seagulls are a great gallery, esp when they're fighting with ducks

    I'm 2kms from the coast
    Only ever see seagulls on real windy days or if ploughing
    Working the land you'd be a ball of sweat without that sea breeze
    Like an office without aircon!
    I love it!

    You really need to move away from Donegal and relocate somewhere else!

    I know it’s a very nice county and all but it appears to be the worst county for rain, drizzle and mist.

    I just moved back last year after seven years away, including a few years in a hot sunny climate so yeah definitely finding it hard to readjust!

    Warm sunny start to the morning. Clouded over lunchtime. Last of the Hay bales today as some rain forecast for tmrw. Last week was definitely summer weather! What rainfall we have had up to this means that water tables are now very low and the ground is like concrete ...

    Go book yourself a nice sun holiday. You deserve it, putting up with that gloomy micro climate.

    The sun's back out again in Dublin after a mostly cloudy day since this morning, and the temperature's started shooting up. It's now 21.6C here.
