    aw right now that couldn't be the same rainbow!:eek: You can still see the pink sky after its set like 15 minutes ago! Anyway, it has started spitting rain here which is very late as yous got it hours and hours ago and at the rate its going i'm sure it'll take to 11 until the actual rain gets here going by the radar.

    Malin would the record holder for longest daylight in summer and shortest in winter because it is the most northerly point on this green island.

    According to yrno coleraine is 1 minute ahead of malin in sunrise tomorrow is at 4:59, its 5:00 for malin head, i assume thats because you are further east, but malin head has 5 minutes later sunset.
    I find it Interesting

    Coleraine
    • Sunrise 04:59
    • Sunset 22:03
    Malin head
    • Sunrise 05:00
    • Sunset 22:08
    I also have a sunset for 22:07 for tomorrow as i am further west than you. But you beat me with sunrise by 10 minutes.

    By the way the sky is still a wee bit red to the west here, sometimes on a clear evening it never really gets dark to the west, you can see the light, the edge of ireland really.

    Yea so its basically only a few minutes difference, the sky about 2 weeks ago didn't get dark here but it was too the north were it was brightest in fact you could so the hills behind me and the sky if you looked up was still be blue but to the west it would be more darker would it not?

    Well it would be a lot more west than north here where the light would be remaining , i guess north west would be about the best way to describe it.

    Wouldn't Belmullet/NW Mayo have a longer evening than Malin Head/Donegal at this time of year? (not that 1 minute here, 30s there would make much of difference anyway!)

    Correct , Belmullet
    • Sunrise 05:19
    • Sunset 22:10

    Sunset 2 minutes later sunset than Malin (approx)

    Although Sunrise is significantly later than Malin.

    Interesting so that even Castlebar has a 'longer' evening than Coleraine:

    Coleraine Sunset: 22.03
    Castlebar Sunset: 22.05

    which would prove this comment by Owen to Oscar Bravo (Castlerbar)

    Why do you think that we are far more northern than them but if it they weren't so far west we would have a longer night than them. i'm for checking day lengths.

    Here are daylight hours.

    Mainlin head: 17 hours and 6 minutes.

    Coleraine: 17 hours and 4 minutes.

    Most north west part of galway (or whatever you call it.) 16 hour and 52 minutes.


    Told you they had no chance, plus our twilight lasts all night theirs dosen't.

    On the longest day

    Coleraine: 17 hours and 26 minutes.

    Manlin head 17 hours and 28 minutes

    Then on the shortest day:

    Coleraine: 7 hours and 7 minutes.

    Mainlin head: 7 hours and 5 minutes.


    So much for the longest day (by 2 minutes.):rolleyes: If they weren't as far north as us they would be far shorter than us.

    Ah who cares who has the longest days or night or shortest days or nights.

    The important thing is Kilkenny is the hottest place in Ireland during the summer, current record holders at 33.3C.
    Last winter it was officially the coldest place -16.6C

    Now what do win?

    Heatstroke and frostbite?

    Well why don't you make a thread somewhere else about it then...

    This is a thread about wet weather in July, dontcha know?

    Yesterday consisted of constant "spitting rain" from about 10am until 4pm where it became more intense. So I could say it's been raining/drizzling for over a day now, but also only 8 hours of it has been in any way heavy. It's atrociously foggy here as well as very showery, it normally doesn't rain so heavily when there's low cloud around. Cloud tends to hang around a bit longer when you live higher up anyway...

    It does look like a wet pattern like last years, is starting to set up. It looks like low after low is queueing up in the Atlantic to hit us.
    I am glad I havent picked July for my wedding next year. The wet july pattern sure looks like its the norm now!

    Damn. The grass is going to love this soaking today. With showery weather on the cards for the next few days at least, cutting the lawn will be a disaster:(

    It will be ironic if rainy weather lasts long enough to cause problems for cutting silage, having had a poor growing season from the lack of rain in many parts...
