    I don't care if is snows or not. I just can't wait for winter so it stops raining all the time. I'm sick of this bloody summer.

    The summer isn't that bad, I've still been wearing a t-shirt most days and we've had plenty of spells of pleasant dry and warm weather between the rainy days. Having 20 hours of brightness is great as well compared to the depressing darkness in winter. Winter is nice on the rare occasions we get some interesting weather but I don't quite see the attraction of 7C, cloudy and dark as most winter days will invariably be

    Just watching programme on Discovery about historic climate change. Apparently the mini ice age in Europe was preceded by a run of really wet summers. Anyone else see parallels??

    In this forum there is also a thread something like The Sun is Dead, Mini Ice age , it might be worth looking it up too, we are in a mini ice age period already.

    Well aware of it thanks, perhaps I should put that comment on there. Not sure it mentions the run of wet summers preceding the mini ice age, though. I wonder if there's any data on winters 1315-25, also. Might give us a clue as to what might be coming up

    They wouldn't have recorded data in those days but extreme weather events would have been documented. This link is as good as you'll get in relation to the fourteenth century.
    (note the winter of 1338-9, the only other occasion that the Liffey completely froze was in the winter of 1739-40 as far as I know)

    Just means our sun is experiencing something that has not happened in 300 years of watching it, the 11 year cycle of sunspots/solar activity repeats every 11 years, except we are still approaching a solar maximum that should have happened last year, so expect a few extremes weather wise..

    and the discussion is whether the Sun stays 'asleep' and enters its 11 year minimum cycle [without having a maximum cycle] which will leave us stranded in bad weather potential for a period of 11 more years or if the Sun is stuck in its Moulder minimum ....

    After a few years of study of the various forecast techniques I have come to the following conslusions:

    The sun is too active = It rains on Ireland
    The sun is too quite = It rains on Ireland
    The sun is in perfect balance = it rains on Ireland
    The Jet Stream is too far north = it rains on Ireland
    The Jet stream is too far south = it rains on Ireland
    The Jet stream is in perfect balance = it rains on Ireland
    The Moon is too close = it rains on Ireland
    The Moon is too far away = it rains on Ireland.
    The Moon is in perfect balance = it rains on Ireland.
    The fox sh1t is too pale = it rains on Ireland
    The fox sh1t is too dark = it rains on Ireland
    The fox sh1t is just perfect - it rains on Ireland

    I HATE this bloody summer/winter/autumn/spring. If it wasn't for the calendar on my phone I wouldn't have had a clue what time of the year it was for the last 18 months.

    Does that apply to the rest of the World too becasue from what I can make out it's only Ireland that's suffering this particular maladie of season non-differenciation.

    No, just Ireland. Next up on the list is economic disaster.

    No.

    Wait.


    Sorry, that was earlier on the list.

    Well on the upside if the world does end this mid winter at least it will stop raining. Unfortunately I fear we'll all wake up on December 22nd with no Christmas shopping done and it will be around 13 degrees with a nasty heavy mist (basically today but 5 degrees colder)

    Just a thought was last Winter colder than some previous years?

    Yes we got nothing because of the Azores High over us but did the rest of the Northern Hemisphere recieved more or less snow/cold weather than average?

    Alaska last year got huge amounts of snow and the European big freeze come to mind.

    So what would be the general consensus?

    Just a thought was last Winter colder than some previous years? No, it was very mild, we actually did not put on heating on Dec 26th (St Stephens Day). I don't recall any snow either.

    Yes we got nothing because of the Azores High over us but did the rest of the Northern Hemisphere recieved more or less snow/cold weather than average? We escaped the worst of the weather that hit Europe and our neighbours.

    Alaska last year got huge amounts of snow and the European big freeze come to mind.
    So what would be the general consensus? We had a mild winter and we escaped the harsh cold weather that hit Europe especially Italy where snow levels around Opi 150km east of Rome hit levels that forced wolves down from the hills to roam for food in the town of Opi. (see attached picture from Feb 2012)
