    I know Kenring predicted the rains to come in mid July and the last two weeks of June to be settled and fine but it increasingly looks like from 22nd and 23rd June the weather is going to breakdown. I thought myself maybe 24th or 25th June but models are showing a Low planted over or near us from 22nd. Who knows this might be back to the Kenring model by tomorrow but I dont want Summer to end. I was getting used to burnt grass.

    The last low that crossed Ireland brought little to no rain here so I'd not be surprised if the next system did the same. My rain total so far this month is 12.6mm which is disgraceful.

    Hang your head in Shame with that rain total DE
    but mines only 6.3mm though rain gauge was dodgy
    at start of month so this could be as "high" as 8.0mm:eek:

    Would love to see weather charts for the summer of that year....heatwave from the 19th of June I believe all the way to September. 30c most days in the mid-west region.

    I'm surprised there is not more talk about water conservation at the moment.
    You know they will talk about it when the water is scarce...

    Yeah, around 30C to 31C a lot of the time and I remember there was a rare thunderstorm that summer that broke out in Tipperary that had a tornado in it.

    A lot of grass burnt by the sun that summer, remember a lot of water had to be brought to the cattle.

    we had loads of rain in the east of Ireland last week up to last sunday so I think at least here the gardens are fine without rain for a while to come yet. I know in the west they did not get the days of rain that we got.

    was going to take pics at Rosses Point today coz the grass is burnt and dead. Longer grass has continued to grow some due to its shading of the ground beneath it.

    Garavogue River is going to turn into a pedestrianized area if no water falls from the sky soon. Might not be such a bad idea. I believe they do something like that in Seville. Seville! Sligo! no difference much except that Sligo is slightly more beautiful.:)

    Fixed my rain gauge on 2nd of June but still dont know if it working correctly because the rain to test it has not been there. In fact we have not had more than 15mm in a single day since April 5th. Looking at my 100 year weather history book this year has been an exceptional one so far in the West. Dont mind 1995 if things dont change soon 1976 could be mentioned though that drought started in 1975.... so could this dry period just be a precursor to 2011 or will thunder roll?

    Sunburnt so going to cool off now before the sunstroke makes me write a complete essay on the topic.:mad:

    I thought I read a snippet in the paper last week about an "Azores High", which generally indicates a long, hot summer. Can anyone confirm or repudiate this?

    Well the "Azores High" is the key and right now it extends up as far as the North Sea from the Azores region and for me it starting to have that fixed look to it, which is why I wondered if anyone had charts from 1995 which was the last time high pressure took root and hardly shifted for about 3 months.

    full of the joys of summer aren't we.

    If your right then you have another convert - if not I'll happily rub your nose in it. Fair deal?

    Some big dollops of rain around the new moon, 10th-14th, that may bring flooding. This lovely sunshine may only last till the end of June, then quite cloudy through July. The sun returns in August, but apart from odd days that reach 20C the heat will have gone.

    I hope to god those predictions are wrong last thing I want to see is rain between now and September. 2 and a half weeks away is along time away in weather terms. Unfortunately next weekend is not looking as good as they said it would on met eireann during the weekend.

    Its a very fresh breeze out there, maybe things are nastier inland. Kilkenny/Carlow stinks in a decent summer.

    Humidities are lower inland in this setup. 36% was recorded along with 24.2c today at 4pm and it felt bliss.

    I would be happy to see some rain. The land needs it and we don't want to hear about water shortages......

    Some places have only received about 60% of their normal rainfall so far this year. Every month the rainfall totals have been below normal.

    Let's be singing in the rain.

    The latest models seem to be hinting that the Atlantic may start kicking itself back to life as we head into July:

    To unnervingly far out to be anyway certain at this early stage though. We could really do with a few days of heavy, warm rain at this stage. Was driving out the country today and while the fields are still green, they seriously lack that usual June lustre. If it rains everyday for the rest of the year I don't think it would bother me. :).
