    Well if it's point scoring your in for , a number of local weather stations around here recorded -15 , -16 so :P.

    Right back on topic! To me it seems a very different set up than last july , this year is all fronts and SW winds , when last july it was alot of convective showers and mostly northerly-north westerlys.

    Thanks Mike.

    The NAE and GFS models, which I place the most faith in 24-72 hour forecasts, are confirming your thoughts. Having a dry Monday would be very helpful to me, though I'd be content for a dry day in Croke Park tomorrow;)

    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?

    Kilkenny is definately the best!!!

    The lowest recorded last winter was -16 of all stations that are confirmed to be correct. There was -16 in Tullow(Villain) and in Kilkenny, in Mt.Juliet. nowhere else.




    On the July weather: So far today in Kilkenny (http://www.kilkennyweather.com/ ) the min temp is 17.0C and the max is 18.5C!!!:eek:

    There are no weather stations here anyway, and i can guarantee that was beat here because of the amount of snow etc etc and daylight hours! Plus there is no weather station in everysingle spot of this island so somewhere has had to have beaten that, you were proven wrong!:P

    Bullsh!t.
    Amount of snow doesn't show anything. There was several feet of snow i the midlands at the end of march, but it was only -3 or -4. Doesn't mean it was colder. Obviuosly it was beaten, higher altitudes could have beaten that temperature. Lugnaquilla is over 750m, loads of snow, no weather station. The site in Kilkenny that got below -16 is in a valley, less than 50m asl.

    Long story short, you have no proof that coleraine is always wetter, drier, sunnier, duller, hotter, colder, windier, calmer, has more/less hurricanes/tornados/lightning strikes/thunder than anywhere else. It doesn't have to have thicker ice than everywhere else, doesn't have to have longer and shorter daylight hours , more/less twilight and all the other claims ( a minority of which might be true) than every other place on this island.

    Whatever i'm sticking to my claims until there is a weather station here to prove me wrong which it will probably not.

    King James made it a city, it was a city before even Belfast was made a city. Former capital of Ireland too......but we are happy enough with it being the hurling capital and the weather capital.
    What are Coleraine's claims to weather fame?

    You'd love it down here, Owen.
