    Increasingly cloudy in Arklow, still bits of sun
    The front in the Irish sea is approaching

    Northeast wind gusting above 40kmh making the 13.5c feel more like -13.5 if you don't have a fleece on

    Cold and blustery cycle in to work in Dublin. It’s weird seeing people cycling in winter jackets at this time of year!

    unfortunately ECM starting to back off from settled conditions over Ireland from the 20th, high pressure looks brief just grazing the south-east of UK, keeping the Atlantic in charge for us, but it's still looking slightly milder.

    GFS keeps the lows near or over us right up to the end of the month.

    This confused me. Sunsets to the west, how does Dublin have a west facing beach?

    Not sure where that is, but you can get a sunset out in Howth, out at lighthouse looking left, have done so in the past.

    Here's a Google Earth view of the area, since I couldn't find a good birds eye photo, with where I was at marked with an 'x'.

    Sutton/Howth are very popular spots for sunset here.

    People also need to remember that at our latitude the Sun sets in the North West not due West at the Summer Solstice.

    today has been the first completely dry day here for a couple of weeks, great to finally get a little break from rain. Most of the neighbours have been cutting their lawns in time before tomorrows rain.

    Indeed, something that a lot of people don't even notice, bizarrely. Contrastingly, the sun sets in the South West around the winter solstice.

    God I never knew this!

    A lot of people also don't realise that the longest evening isn't 21st June but a few days after by a minute or two.

    Have to say that this June is shaping up to be the worst in many years. So much rain, so cool. It's normally the best month of the year in my opinion.

    Going to Portugal in July, can't come quickly enough!

    Another desperately disappointing summers night. The best you can say is that it’s dry but it’s cloudy and cool so disappointing. We haven’t had one decent night here.

    Pay back for the mild Winter.

    Loving the cool nights, I never slept so well in June in years.

    This year is very much like 2011. That winter was mild and the summer was cooler as well. That lasted for a year or two.

    After a major snow event it seems our climate has a bit of a wobble and takes a year or 2 to recover. I think it was August or September before we got decent temperatures.

    I have so scientific basis on this just an observation from what happen last time it happened.

    There's definitely been a few summers like this imo. Was it 2015 which had little sun and a lot of rain?

    Last year definitely spoilt us a bit.

    Rainfall cumulative 34.3mm this month so far - quite a contrast to May which was mainly dry bar the last 3 days of the month.

    Cloudy but dry in Clare, not often we get better weather than Leinster but there ya go. Still only early June lads, less of this 'summer is gone' or 'were paying for the mild winter' talk.

    I'm not much up on my long term forecasting but some are optimistic about later on this month!

    short to medium term is looking rather unsettled, but things will turn milder. Could be mid to end of July before we get out of this unsettled pattern, but we shall see. So far it looks unsettled right up to the end of the month, with perhaps a slightly dryer signal from about the 28th of June, but this drying trend keeps getting pushed back.

    Thing turn milder alright, that can only mean though that the rain gets heavier and more intense ;-)

    Please tell me mid to end July was a typo... You meant June right?

    start of July doesn't look great, but that's well out in FI. MT is also hinting at mid July. At least it's getting milder from next week.
