All that rain moved just a touch more south than forecast leaving us JUST clear of it
This pleases me

Eased off at the moment.

I have said my favourite months weather wise before but have I told my favourite of each month? I don't think so. So here they are, what's yours? Obviously, a lot of you would have totally different opinions because of favouritism and if you got to actually experience it (like I didn't get to experience Summer 1995 so I can't consider that in my opinions).

January: 2011
February: 2003
March: 2011
April: 2011
May: 2010
June: 2010
July: 2006
August: 2010
September: 2014
October: 2010
November: 2010
December: 2010

I would really be interested in your opinions.

Season wise

Spring: 2011
Summer: 2006
Autumn: 2010
Winter: 2010/11

You'll be glad to hear there's been a Lot of rain in Arklow and still teaming down:)
14.2mm last time I looked

Dungarvan. Rain since 5am. I'm not talking about a shower. It has properly rained for 12 hours. Sunny southeast... Not today
Is there any sign of this clearing before night fall?
Tomorrow looks a little better.

LEIN

Steady spray of drizzle since lunchtime.

Rock Lesnar

Cloudy and dry with sunny intervals in north Meath today, pretty breezy as well

I hope this will materialize

Call me Al

I'm here in Achill. Bone dry and sunshine all day and warm enough in spots that we had a lovely beach day.
Here's hoping this +144 actually materialises ☺

Fryup where do you live? The western side of the country is getting a poor summer. I in Limerick am not getting a great summer generally this summer. Judging by weather reports and posts on this forum I believe that the east coast are enjoying a fairly good summer so far.

east clare and it was raining all day :cool:

sryanbruen

And I just got my first dose of rainfall of the day but still only 0.2mm.

Yep, but only marginally.



if the currently available stats are accurate, it'll be likely to be the 2nd dullest July in Knock's records (or at least since 1997)

So lads, I have a question

Friday week, the 12th August. Can anyone make any predictions on it ?

I would say the Dublin area has had an above average summer, quite pleasant at times, very dry, not very sunny, but warm and not too windy.

I generally feel the same

I thought last summer was predominantly cold and wet. Haven't really felt that this summer.

Actually the east coast isn't doing too badly this summer, I'm amazed how many days I have had temps above 20c even when we are under the influence of bog standard westerly or north westerly airflows, I even recorded a max of 20.3c today.
I am becoming increasingly optimistic looking at the recent model output, they are all showing the Azores building but not great if you are living in the west and especially the north west.

what does the Azores building mean in real terms?
