    Nice morning here too. It’s warm in the sun but the sun is a bit in and out. Am I right in reading that next week from Sunday on isn’t looking great?

    Don't the british met office normally give a reasonably accurate monthly forecast?

    Will this summer just peter out or could we get solid good weather for 2 or 3 weeks yet?

    It was worrying when the met eireann forecasters were so gloomy a couple of weeks back, like it was a pattern for the summer.

    Given the blocking in place at the moment you would expect the westerly pattern to break through at some stage and then who knows.

    lashing rain here now in Meath, heavy showers, I was hoping today would have stayed dry for us, cool now with a temperature of just 14C.

    Its mad the difference in a few miles, we've had good glimpses of the sun down here, and only 1 quick shower around lunch time but nothing since, overall not a bad day.

    The British met have forecasted mixed weather for the end of June and into the start of July, I would say with the low pressure moving away from us from next week and the Jet stream forecasted moving north of Scotland from the beginning of July things should be a bit more settled

    certainly no summer today in Meath, was mostly a cool and very cloudy day with several heavy showers, some late evening sunshine now and ground starting to dry up. Still feeling nippy tho.

    Tomorrow likely to be the coolest day of the week, then warming up again for Friday and Saturday.

    Would love one but I’m going to Spain on Sunday for two weeks so I might miss out on all the fun. Ah I still hope it happens. Sure I can read all the posts about it on the beach. It’d be fantastic if we got a proper thunderstorm with plenty of lightning.

    no doubt if this happens, Meath will miss out yet again, we just don't get proper thunderstorms, except maybe once every 25 to 50 years! It's been 34 years since the last one, so perhaps we are almost due one this year!

    Funny it seems that we're more likely to get heat waves or a good belt of snow in Ireland than a proper thunder storm....

    yep heatwaves or snow storms are way more common than proper thunderstorms in this country.

    In a Summer thats offered nothing but a big freeze and rain so far at least thunderstorms are more exciting rain

    Think heatwaves are only in India and Greenland this Summer....n parts of Canada n Siberia.

    Climate change eh? But wer just getting cool pools most Summers

    Quite extreme temperatures coming up from this heatwave, watch out France and Germany.

    Not sure how it will affect us here, but certainly quite warm if this model comes true.

    that's always the way, at least here in Meath, any warm or hot spell we've had get's quickly replaced by a heavy downpour from the Atlantic and cooler air without any bangs or flashes, yet England usually lights up like a Christmas tree. They've already had it several times this summer, including 2 nights ago.

    this warm up looks very sudden and short lived, back to fresh conditions very quickly. This mornings run has the possibilites of a 21 to 22C isotherm over Dublin, which is just not going to happen. Imagine if this happened mid August.

    ens_image.php?geoid=64981&var=201&run=6&date=2019-06-20&model=gfs&member=ENS&bw=

    On the forecasts not going for high temperatures in Dublin next week, BBC showing 19 or 20C possible next week.

    GFS also giving near normal temperatures for Dublin next week, possibly getting to 20C. We'll see what happens.

    in all my time looking at the thunderstorm risk charts on the GFS iv never seen such a high chance of activity over Ireland. So rare to see the bright red/orange/yellow shadings over Ireland. Is nobody remotely excited? Met Eireann also highlighting the risk of some thunderstorms as early as sunday night.
