    ......that up in the North-West we've been having a great spell of weather, sunny warm(ish) days, cool(ish) breeze, cant remember that last day it rained.

    This thread is just to point out our good fortune as its normally the opposite way around when it comes to the north/south weather divide.

    You may close this thread now:D

    Yeah weather has been great past few days here as well. Very little rain, very mild, yesterday had a very "dead heat" very clammy temperatures at night staying well above freezing.

    Sunsets have been stunning, just a pity I don't have a DSLR yet :(

    7 day rainfall totals and percentages up to yesterday (from met.ie)

    203190.gif203189.gif

    The antithesis of right :eek:

    Yesterday's total of 29.7mm at Casement was the highest daily rainfall there since the 24th of October last and brings this station's total up to normal for the year so far. Percentage of normal totals at the 4 other stations used in the IMT index for 2012 are still running well below average with Oak Park receiving only 70% of its normal total so far.

    Amazing just how lucky we've been in dodging the rain here recently, going by that chart even Derry City is near normal for the week yet 15 miles further west we're at 0%! Every time a band of rain travelled west it seemed to just die out around Derry, same with all the convective showers earler in the month that only formed about 10 miles to the south

    Must be about 2 weeks now since its rained during daylight hours here, no doubt mother nature will make up for it soon enough so we might as well enjoy it, warm and sunny again today :cool:

    Well that has just compounded my anger that I chose Cork over Donegal for my recent trip away.:mad:

    Looks like tomorrow is finally going to end the dry spell, a mere 2.2mm recorded at Malin Head in the past 15 days and even the week before that was nearly totally dry apart from the intense front that passed through over night on the 17th. Compare that to Casement where 88mm has been recorded in the past 15 days!

    Unfortunately it finally rained in the NW today.

    But agree, we must have had a full week there with no rain. I didn't see any anyway.

    Great to listen to news on the radio saying that the SW was soaking and to drive carefully, as we basked in the sunshine.

    And oh my goodness, it was positively biblical! But yesterday and this afternoon/evening were beautiful, so I'm not complaining. There's nowhere like north Donegal when the sun shines!
