another miserable day here in Meath, very wet and showery after a night of rain. Hopefully we will get a drying trend this week, ground is getting very soaked here with so much rainfall since last Tuesday, easily the wettest week I've seen since sometime back in February.
I thoroughly blame you with your doom and gloom forecasts

thankfully it won't be all doom and gloom over the coming week, we should have a few dry and warm days later this week which will be a break from all the rain.
It does look like this is going to be a wetter June than last year, particularly in eastern areas which have already seen alot of rain this month. Western areas will be catching up this week but even there it should become dryer from Wednesday if only for a few days. If the charts look unsettled I just call it as I see it and if it looks like we are entering a a warm and dry spell i'll go to town on the warm and sunny weather.0 -

Will you ever stop moaning. It's badly needed if you want to see veg on your dinner plate
We had practically no rain for 3 months0 -
A thread to discuss the rainfall patterns of the current year. This chart below shows the mean rainfall trend (expressed as the 28 day running percentage total) for Ireland (Rep) since the start of 2018:
As can been seen, and has been observed by many on this forum, dry spells (really anything below 75% of normal) have been increasingly short supply since late July last year right up to the present, with anomaly values up to 275% during late February/early March this year. Thankfully, the trend, as can be seen in the chart above, is now trending downwards and hopefully this will continue over the next few weeks. A long dry spell (as much as I hate them myself) is what is needed over Ireland right now to help dry out the land a bit and to add a bit of cheer to these bizarre times.
Data used is from Met Eireann.
OP be careful what you wish for in future, just sayin';)If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

and we had 7 to 8 months of deluges before that! Once the tap is switched on it's very difficult to stop it!
Spring was great this year, I really enjoyed that dry weather and it was badly needed to dry out the land after an incredibly wet late Summer into Autumn and into Winter period.
Now that we are back into an unsettled/mixed pattern it's time to start looking for that next decent spell of warm and settled weather as it is summer and a few weeks of proper summer weather would do us all the world of good!0 -
