    I don't have a short memory, on the contrary, I have a very good memory.

    In my lifetime I've never seen a July like this.

    This has been a July where not only did it rain a lot, but one that was indistinguishable from a winter month. I.e. it didn't feel like a wet July, that was warm and humid but rained, it felt like any winter month from October to February. Dark by 6pm. Totally bizarre.

    How often does it hit 20c frequently October - February?

    We're talking about rain non stop for the month of July here. What's your point exactly?

    I was talking to the poster that claimed it didn't fell like a wet warm July

    This has not occurred to a lot of people, Ireland is undoubtedly getting slightly warmer however the amount of rain is staying the same leading to us developing a bit of a humid climate, not leading to use developing a more Mediterranian climate.

    To me, the best climate is a cool summer Mediterranean climate or an oceanic climate.

    So much lies and damned lies being posted here.

    Here are some Athenry stats, but you can choose another station more meaningful for you. The numbers are actually stark enough.

    You get a five year comparison here for all the key aspects of weather, but I heard on the radio this morning that it was the July with the least sunshine for 34 years in Dublin airport.

    The rainfall in Valentia was notably large.

    See for yourself there, July 2017 and this year are very close in most respects

    What station, what respects?

    Most stations for most parameters illustrate 2020's July as being particularly poor. If there are exceptions, they merely serve to highlight a rule.

    Valentia rainfall alone is a slamdunk and comes up almost double 2017.

    Year Jul
    2020 214.0
    2019 83.7
    2018 50.1
    2017 108.4
    mean 99.0

    You posted Athenry, where precip is about a third larger than 2017, but twice '18 and '19. Mean temp is half a degree lower, compared to about 2° for the other years. This year was worse no doubt but not not that much worse, compared to the last two years.

    Valentia might have been double but Shannon was equal even.

    A phenomena commonly known as an "Indian Summer". Ask your grandparents.
