    i would have thought the south east of england is good for thunderstorms from the continent or is that more so Wales and Cornwall?

    Anglia is the place for thunderstorms.

    Yes, you are right. I am just speaking in general really. Big thunderstorms would be a feature of that area of UK alright in the summer but other times of the year they wouldn't really get much notable weather.

    Even their much fabled October 1987 storm, often called the UK's biggest storm of the late 20th century, is nothing we don't get here once or twice in an average winter. I think we a relatively lucky here in Ireland as we have a much more dramatic climate, and while we don't get thunderstorms as frequently as they do in the SE UK, I am certain the ferocity of ours can rival, if not surpass theirs when the conditions are right :)

    yes they don't tend to get the wind storms we do. though if a proper easterly comes about in the winter they do usually do better than in terms of snowfall than we do. they definitely record far warmer temperatures than us too in summer and they usually have more intense thunderstorms than we do(though i guess that what makes events like the 1985 thunderstorms so memorable for us)
    so their weather, while not quite as dramatic as ours can be, is definitely not pedestrian.

    i'm getting backhanders to promote the south east of England;)

    Warm weather on the way indeed !

    I can confirm, factually.
    While I was footing turf in my local bog last nite, it was observed that the frogs had a significantly paler color than normal.
    And my father-in-law tells me, if the frog in the bog is dark, sign of dark weather. And if the frog is paler, sign of clear weather.

    So he tells me, lol

    Well manged 20c today but cloud came in so is 17.4c now! 25c is looking very likely!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,524 ✭✭✭owenc

    Fair play to you Owen, you win again. Shame on all those who doubted you. They're only jealous because you live in the both the coldest and warmest place in Ireland.

    If you don't believe look at latest xc weather report and met uk forecast.

    To be fair, Ballykelly (his nearest station) recorded 19.8ºC yesterday - the warmest on the island. The nearby Malin Head station recorded 19.2ºC, the warmest in the Republic.

    Calm and pleasantly saturnine in Galway at the mo. Lovely balmy evening with an eerie bank of fog passing over earlier but remained dry throughout. 13.3c currently. :)

    Ah, that'd make sense! I just heard 18ºC on the radio this morning. My mistake.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,524 ✭✭✭owenc


    Very muggy night min of 15c! Now 16c pity it wasn't sunny then it would be really warm today. Tomorrow will be ver warm with no cloud!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    What's with all the cloud? Looking at met eireann looks like they'll be around for most of the day? :(

    It's 10:15 and already 18 degrees! Go away clouds!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Tom Cruises Left Nut


    Yeah the clouds are spoiling today !!

    Was sooo sticky on the way in to work this morning, I probably looked like a bit of a sweaty perv on the Luas !! haha :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,550 ✭✭✭Min


    Blue skies here, early mist and fog cleared quickly, already around 20C.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    Summer is definately here. Nothing to do with the weather, just the amount of knacker drinking down by the river yesterday. . . .:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,068 ✭✭✭Iancar29

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    Very warm here today, gettin some extended periods of sunshine now after a cloudy start. Turning a bit pink in the garden! You lot may have your weather stations but the way i know when its warm is when the dog stays in the shade. Up until yesterday he was quite the sun worshipper! Now hes in bits and wants the hose on!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,524 ✭✭✭owenc
