    rain has eased off into drizzly muck. Fire lit since 5pm. A truly horrendous day.

    It's really poor even for Ireland. Been dry in south Cork since morning as well but the temperatures wouldn't be out of place in mid winter.

    Only 10.6c at Gurteen today, coldest June max at any Irish station as far as I can see since 3 June 2012. Just the culmination of this atrocious day.

    My Ma says she has the heat on, in June! So you basically need the heat for 8 or 9 months a year in Ireland. Today could happen at any time of the year too. I am definitely retiring somewhere warm.

    north-west Spain and Portugal were also affected by the same system that brought us our misery today. Parts of Northern Spain only reached the mid teens today which is extremely low for there.

    Ireland was indeed the coldest country today overall, with the exception of Iceland and the far north of Scandinavia. UK was cool as well, but temperatures held up fairly well in southern and eastern England.

    I haven't come to this decision lightly but I think it's time to build an ark here in my part of south Laois:(

    20.7mm of rain today at Dublin airport. Unbelievable. It's not just the rain but how cold it is aswell. This is depressing + if that low doesn't shift soon we will be left with it for the rest of summer.

    It has been heavy rain in Dublin 4 for 7 hours now without a break. Seems to have gotten even heavier the last half hour or so. It's nice to be inside and hear it pattering away on the roof. It also allows a nice cool breeze in through the window. But it's hard to escape the grim weather the last three weeks, bar a few days of balmy mild conditions.

    Just looked at the stats there for last summer. It's
    Only 4th June but in four days we have had the same amount of rain at Dublin airport as the whole of May + June 2018 added together. I know that was a drought but still depressing.

    Ah, it could be worse.

    Around 16 hours of constant rain here in north Louth, a mix of light and heavy precipitation all day but with no break at all. I'm struggling to think of a day like it in recent memory. Like others we too have the heating on - in the first week in June!

    I put the heating on the minute I cane home this evening. My husband said 'It's June' + my reply was tell the weather that because it thinks it's December ;-)

    Could it?

    I try to always look at something positive but today was one to forget, very poor and not nice. The more and more I observe Irish weather, the more I am less forgiving of it.

    The only silver lining is that the students won't mind studying for their exams when weather is like that! Best of luck tomorrow Sryanbruen!

    Raining in Sligo but bar the afternoon its been 0.5mm per hour whereas in Markree its over 2mm per hour

    So the 6 v 9mm yesterday gap is going to widen

    Sligo town now at 15mm for June

    Id say Markree nearer 30mm

    June 4th 2019 max temp in Sligo 10.8c

    December 2nd 2018 max temp in Sligo 11.4c

    pouring rain for past few hours again, I reckon we still have a few more hours of rain before the clearance very slowly moves it's way up from the south.

    dry and breezy out here. all the deluges have vanished safely into the thirsty
    earth as will any fresh ones.

    reports from family in tornado areas keep a sense of proportion strong here. No flooding etc either . no complaints

    Got photos from my friend on the beach in Achill in their wetsuits yesterday. Must have been the only place without rain until last night.
