Behind out of shot loads of wavy almost mammatus like
We are under said cloud looking longingly at the blue

Beautiful day. Great to see the posters with their Playa Del ****e and their Costa Del Crap are not around today because of the high cloud covering the East Coast. Heehee

clouded over here now and 19C. the blue skies are being squeezed by rain over the west and the cloudy/fog from the Irish sea.

Must say whilst I do post the actual conditions in Arklow and do describe the weather here as beautiful often,I've NEVER ever said anything like 'Great to see the rest of the country dull,or Great to see the rest of the country wet Hehee'

Lovely day in Arklow none the less ,with some sun and another day this Summer above 20 with my lunch being eaten outside
Cannot complain

It was clear and sunny all day here in Dublin 16 until about an hour ago!

Senna

Thunder and lightening hampering the search efforts off bundoran coast today. Lovely here on east Donegal but looks like it won't last long.

Just about to click send, looked out the window and yep, there's the rain.

Xenji

Pleasant evening in Castlebar, currently 18.3C, the last two days have been very overcast with the best weather coming in the evenings.

Gonzo

sun back here again, beautiful calm, sunny warm evening.

sryanbruen

Not a lot of sunshine as expected today here but it was pleasant nonetheless.

Oscar Bravo

A real mix of weather across the country at the moment, a intense band of showers up through the middle of the country at the moment, lovely and sunny out behind that band here in the west in a light south westerly wind.

Danno

A max of 23c here. Prolonged sunshine. East horizon looked heavy and grey at times and could see convection to the far west. We are lucky with the middle slice today.

Trebor176

Beautiful weather in Dublin all day and yesterday. I managed to catch some rays during my lunch break in work

Oscar Bravo

Beautiful evening in Castlebar as the sun begins to go down

Until Hurricane Gaston puts a damper on everybody's face :P, jk.

Its weird, if it remains dry, then the perception of this summer just changes completely, it will have rained in the daytime(not including flash downpour or spitting of rain due to humidity, I'm talking gloomy Irish wet weather) about 5 times in south dublin in august.

After looking back on this Summer after all me complaining about wrong forecasts it has actually turned out to be quite non descript.

What do you expect in an Irish Summer?

Well here goes....

A couple of days in the mid to high twenties in total
Maybe one day of 30c
Bank Holiday August washout somewhere
Great weather in the West in late May and early June
Drizzle in the Northwest most of July
Some bright weather with showers near the end of August
Very little rain in the South and East for most of July and August
One or two episodes of intense thunderstorms
Warmest temperature to be recorded in July
and finally ... a lot of horrid close weather


I think all these boxes have been ticked....now for Autumn

Eh 'em... Mt. Dillon on 19 July.

How does 2016's maximum temperature compare with recent years?

2016: 30.4c on July 19th
2015: 25.6c on June 30th
2014: 28.8c on July 25th
2013: 31.0c on July 19th
2012: 27.0c on August 10th
2011: 26.0c on June 3rd
2010: 26.4c on June 21st
2009: 28.6c on June 2nd
2008: 25.2c on July 24th
2007: 25.9c on June 11th
2006: 32.3c on July 19th

So counting all these years, 30c has only been reached or exceeded in 2006, 2013 and 2016.

The low on Saturday looks like staying in the UK and us here in the east will escape it.

pauldry

God Ive way too much time on my hands

When was the last 30c non July 19th
