You call this morning warm?

I have not changed my rating for this July, it's still a 5/10 to me. It's just been extremely disappointing and last July was better.

Yes. Warm indeed. I was up outside working at 7. Wonderful morning.
Showery at the moment but warm in the sun.

Bitter all day here, if ye think today is warm I think that says enough about Arklow being like a Spanish resort.

Yeah, warm for inuits!

Steady light rain at present here in Kerry, set to get heavy in a few hours and plenty to come in the next 24hrs.

22:30 update

Today
Tonight persistent and heavy rain over the southwest will spread northeastwards with the risk of thundery downpours leading to localized flooding. Lowest temperatures will fall to between 8 to 12 degrees with light to moderate winds but in coastal areas cyclonic variable winds will increase fresh to strong and gusty, especially along southern and eastern coasts.




Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of showery rain. In the west and north the rain will be persistent and heavy with the ongoing risk of thundery downpours leading to localized flooding. Top temperatures of just 14 to 17 degrees. Winds will be mostly moderate cyclonic variable but increasing fresh at times and in coastal areas winds will increase strong and gusty.

Meteorite58

Rain that was light for much of the evening here near Tralee has turned moderate / heavy now 6mm since about 20.00, I expect it to climb quickly now.

EDIT: Well that's another 2mm in half an hour so I guess you could call it persistant heavy rain here now :eek:

Chance of squall lines going through the SE early morning, especially Wexford I would think.

Some rainfall lately,

The entire month of July to the 18th I had a mere 13mm
Yesterday I recorded exactly 14.0mm
Today I've recorded 9.6mm, ad tomorrow I'll likely record alot more.

Only 4mm here since 8pm, we've seem to have avoided most of the heavy rain here so far.

To be fair I had a max of 18.2c this afternoon which in sun felt warmer than that as the sunshine was strong
People used to working outside all the time have a different feel for what's warm and what's cold

All badly wanted,here where the ground is rock hard
I was woken to howling winds here near Arklow at some point but ignored it and back to sleep

Suns out now,pools of water on the concrete and drenched walls drying in the strong breeze
Currently just 10.9 c
Not bone chilling
But not warm

It's been absolutely tipping it down in Galway City for the past few hours. The centre of the low appears to be over us so it looks like there many more hours of this to come:(

31mm of rain since midnight in Castlebar, been some squally gusts as well.

Friends of mine have driven from Dundalk down to Clifden in West Galway for a wedding today. Looks like it's absolute muck there at the moment glancing at the ME radar!

Raining again
Looks like the low may be wrapping back around us
So depressing

Lashing rain here on the Clare, Limerick, Tipperary border. Nothing better then lying in bed listening to the rain on the roof.

Not in high summer though :(

It's just dire here in Tralee. Lashing out of the heavens and feckin freezing The type of dreadful summer weather that when we don't get it,even if we get no sun or heat,we think it's a good summer.

I had to round up all my lovely petunias and bring them indoors to protect them from the wind and rain.

Time to get on a plane methinks!

George Sunsnow

Staying in county Clare since yesterday and the rain hasn't stopped since 7pm yesterday. Looks like it's down for the day again raining almost 24 hours at this stage .
