    If the forecasts at the moment are correct then we might not see any real rain for the rest of the month. Gonna get a lot colder from tomorrow but the high isn't going anywhere any time soon.

    Was wondering this when walking to work yesterday, with the unusually high build up of dog poo on the footpath!

    5 days now! Did you get that time from a met website or personal observations?

    The dog fouling build-up would be a combination of more walkers and less rain/wind to clean up their mess after them, I imagine.

    IIRC, John Eagleton of Met Eireann said on Morning Ireland today that's it's been a year since we had weather like this (ie no rain for days on end).

    Or do I have that wrong, and it's actually been much longer?

    It's been a week without rain now (and one day without wind). The water in the Docks was completely still a few hours ago.
    Won't be long before the drought.

    Another bright sunny day ahead today by the looks of it, checked the latest forecast and there's still no sign of any rain up to next weekend :)

    I wouldn't like to be anywhere in else in Ireland during the one week of sunshine that Galway gets each year.There's nothing like spending a day on the beach in Salthill, spending the evening in the Spanish Arch and finally heading into town.

    A more realistic view of galway! I think a thread of "galway in the rain" would be much more authentic! :pac:

    Venice of the West? Very, er, atmospheric.

    It just needs the addition of some tourists being rowed down Shop Street in a currach...

    Around 4-30 yesterday every seat outside Neactains was taken and one of the dormant boats on the docks had it's sail up. First time I've seen either happening in months.
    That's what this thread is about I think. Let's hope it continues.

    Still hasn't been a drop of rain since then, 16 days and counting. Looks like another couple of dry days ahead before we're back to the usual Atlantic stuff

    Went down to Blackrock for a quick dip. Jaysus, t'was packed full of young ones. I was told numerous times that I apparently look like the wrestler, Sheamus. I prefer the Damien Lewis comparison, but beggars can't be choosers and all that! :cool:
