    Funny enough, the one time ive had heat stroke was in Ireland at Brittas Bay back in the late 70's. I didnt think the weather would get to me, but this being my 3rd summer here, it has :(

    the good weather of June is long forgotten now, it seems like we've been in this endless train of rain and showers all summer and looks like there is no signs of any improvement despite reports earlier in the week of a possible dry spell.

    ye but it's come to the point over the last 4 years where our summer months are by far the wettest and miserable months of the year. Winter and Autumn may be cooler but they are always much dryer.

    I've resigned myself to summers being relatively poor now. Any more than 3 weeks of good sunny weather is a bonus imo. That said,Autumn in my favourite season. I love the crisp air and relatively mild temps.:)

    My hot water bottle has been put back into service and the fire is being lit in the evenings. I need a coat when I go out - for both rain and cold. It's like late autumn, not high summer :( The postman said to me earlier on: 'Pretend the good weather is still to come'. To me that would be worse - false hope and all that. Better to face facts and pretend (accept) that the summer is over and carry on appropriately.

    That's a very handy site - thanks for posting. The icon for night with the sun shining is a wee bit strange ;) but I suppose it means not cloudy :confused: For my area, it looks as if the only time the sun will be shining is at night :D Maybe I should get up and sunbathe then.

    :D I should visit this forum more often - the entertainment is wonderful. When the weather itself is boring, the Weather Forum is a whole new type of conversation.

    Still a waitin' for even a 20c here this month. Give me a 30c + heatwave or torrential rain anyday over this banal, watered down, inbetween trash we have right now.

    Well london got hit alot worse than anywhere on the island of ireland during dec-jan , a northerly would prob leave them without anything , but would do the same to me!

    Did coleraine get a storm last night? Was under the impression that no storms developed overland , i tought it was all developed out to sea and then diminished as came overland?

    My brother in London would kill for the kind of weather we're having for his allotment. Everything is parched and people are feeling melted. If only we could swap around for a while ...
