Summer 2017 - General Discussion

nacho libre · 2017-02-24 13:20:38

I have a feeling we are going to pay for all the blocked weather pattern we have had this winter over the next few months. I just can't wait for the pointless late March snow showers. Maybe we will get a bad spring, and then a good summer will follow.

i really hate these kind of Summer days in Ireland,when it goes down hill rapidly,and really deteriates into pig muck.

next week looks vile all along the west coast,particularly in coastal extremities.

i think its safe to chuck the rest of june in the trash heap.

hard to believe theres only 2 months of summer left and i imagine this will seep into early july at least.

There's still a prospect of good weather next weekend and into the following week though?

Was playing golf next door to Casement this morning and it sure was windy. Nice and dry but the rain has arrived now.

It's continuing to downgrade and is a very mixed bag at this stage as in the temperatures and the position of the high but overall, no low pressure coming near our shores.

I just cycled to town in Dublin I don't think I've cycled against such consistent strong wind in a long time I'm bollocksed!
I'm just holding on for a month in Spain in August and learning Spanish for a hopeful early retirement. This no summer thing drives me barmy.

yesterday was first decent and fully dry day of the month here, today it's back to cool, April like and very showery.

most of this week looks rubbish right up to and including Friday and the much talked about warm/dry spell looks to be confined to a very short period (1-2 days) next weekend. The eastern half of the country may get a good day on Wednesday.

Does it every really stick in June, July or August? I mean we get the odd day here and there, maybe a few days, but nothing prolonged really.

But what do we expect, our climate has more in common with Greenland than mainland Europe.

God I hope the weather does improve, I'm starting to hear this moaning in real life too!

Today was fairly sh*te to be fair, 0.8mm of rain recorded here but it's just been windy and cold. Very unseasonal.

July 2013 was prolonged. August 1995 was prolonged. There was lots of Summer months where high pressure has been prolonged.

High pressure to move up over us on Friday according to the Six One weather. Your one Joanne Donnelly from Met Eireann saying rain on Wednesday some showers Thursday and things improving Friday. Believe it when I see it..
