Ah it's not been that bad in the East and tbh Glorious in Wexford Gonzo!
Doc I see had a high above 22c today

It's still 17.6c here in Rural south wicklow with some sun still creeping through until settling
Can't complain about that !

It's not terrible here either but a definite disappointment so far, especially after the fantastic May we had. We've had a week of decent weather since about the 27th of may which really isn't a great record now that were almost at mid summer. The north-west and parts of the west have had it worse alright, some places in Donegal may have not seen temps above 18C since May.

Things certainly look a bit more promising for the second half of July, but I've a feeling we will always be on the very edge of anything decent that's going as the cool muck will always be sitting to our north-west.

So far July has been humid, mostly cloudy and dry for me. Today, it's cloudy again but now it's cool. A day like today wouldn't be bad in the middle of October. This is getting ridiculous, becoming very similar to last year's July.

Nowhere. They just make up the ****tiest **** to get people to buy the stupid things. Fortunately, I'm not stupid enough to buy any type of sensationalism in the media.

It rained! It rained for about 20 minutes!

Bright fresh evening in Castlebar with good spells of sunshine in a light westerly wind.

Been very dry here around Tralee since about mid June apart from one wet day on the 26th of June giving 11mm and so far this July have just recorded 5.5mm ( June 85mm, May 42mm approx ).Was digging out the back last night and nearly needed a pick to break the ground it being was so hard.

Picture below is of a dried out Tubrid Well ( Tobar na Molt ) near Ardfert / Tralee , haven't seen it dried out before .

sryanbruen

Yes much better since around 5 here also.

George Sunsnow

Gorgeous again today in Arklow
Suns shining
Light breeze and 20c

Harry Palmr

Not as fresh as advertised to be honest but certainly more comfortable. Early low gloom replaced by fair weather cloud and sun. 20c in Waterford

Xenji

Nice bright day in Castlebar, 19.5C in a light SE breeze.

Elmer Blooker

Lovely morning but back under the permanent blanket of cloud, a cool 18.4c now, overall a nothing day in a nothing summer!

With this setup in the reanalysis shown (dartboard low to the northwest and Azores High to the southeast), it's no surprise why June 2017 was what it turned out like. It was a classic zonal Summer month. June 2003 was very similar - although was sunnier. I think the best is yet to come.

LEIN

It has been a fine day here so far.
Bright with sunny spells and feeling warm also.

Gonzo

today has turned out to be one of the best days of Summer so far which wouldn't be hard. Sunny morning, cloudy midday and early afternoon, sunny again since about 4pm and feeling quite warm.

Glorious day in Galway City.

JCX BXC

Cloudy most of the day, and sea fog spoiling the shoe at the moment here in Waterford.

Donegal Storm

Best day in ages today in Donegal, finally some good sunshine for the first time in weeks.

road_high

Lovely summer here again so far in Kilkenny/surrounds. Warm, relatively dry and settled.

Gonzo

Great evening here best since the last warm spell. Still in the garden in a t-shirt with friends drinking wine. Warmer outside than in the house.

Oscar Bravo

Clear skies here in Castlebar with a lovely bright moon rising.

George Sunsnow

17.1c and some sunshine in Arklow this morning
No complaints:)

MidMan25

Feeling very warm already in southeast Cork. Going to be a great day by the looks of things!

LEIN

Another great start to the day.

Has been a fantastic weekend so far.

Harry Palmr

Started dull, but the skies cleared and it's now scorchio (apologies to those in the north west)

JCX BXC

Finally nice here in Waterford.

George Sunsnow

Turning out to be a Gorgeous end to a pretty nice week in Arklow
Already 20 c
