Ah go way would ya!
We're supposed to be in summer now and we're still in a spring thread.;)

Edit:I thought May was in the summer but apparently it's still in spring.

We get winter weather in autumn (November) spring weather in winter (January) and summer weather in spring (May).
There's no seasons anymore.:p

[LEVEL 1 Weather Alert - Be Aware] Rainfall Warning for Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois and Offaly

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057740144

Yes guys, I'm back to telling you when a new weather event thread has been made. Sorry that I have been busy and at other times forgetting!

Gael23

A day that got worse as it went on. I saw people dressed up for a wedding when I was on my lunch break earlier. I had such pity for them after the week we had.

Meteorite58

Possible wind warnings coming up for tomorrow night /early Mon morning.

Meteorite58

Some heavy rain across the country this evening, just 3.6mm here in Tralee, nice sunny sky this evening at 15C

Clonmel1000

Had some hail here this morning. Looks like normal service has resumed looking at the forecast for the next week. Those May rainfall totals won't be long about creeping back up again after the lovely few days we had.

I just saw a nice satellite picture from Met Eireann perfectly demonstrating the Coriolis Effect in action on two different low pressure systems in the north and south hemisphere.

Tis grand Clare is missing it again

Meteorite58

Well no warnings as yet for wind ( apart from Marine Warnings ). Bit of a difference in the models but would have thought Atlantic coastal counties at least would have warnings. Either way windy spell coming up.

Just poured out of the heavens as I was on my cycle here in West Clare, lots of spot flooding around now.

May 2000 was strikingly similar and that was one of Ireland's sunniest Mays on record.

Gael23

Yesterday was quite a pleasant day where I am. A little cold but dry and some blue sky

Gonzo

hopefully a glimmer of hope that things will settle down again in a week's time with dryer conditions likely after next weekend.

Despite the status yellow rainfall warning for Galway, we have not had any significant rainfall during the night or this morning - was hoping for a more substantial fall to give the garden a little watering, but hopefully more to come during today. Hopefully, we will see some significant falls over the coming day or two and then hopefully the weather will settle down again.

I wonder is it likely that a blight warning will come into effect given the expected mist and humid conditions forecast over the next day or two?

It hammered it down in Tuam at 6 a.m. It's been misty and icky all day.

Murky and humid day in Castlebar, it is 16.4C with 97% humidity, only 10.2mm of rain and that fell mainly in the early hours.

Scorchio here in Dublin 16! Sun has come out and with a stiff SSW breeze, temp has risen to 21.8c! #fohn

Gonzo

warmest day of the year so far in many eastern areas that didn't fare so well in warm temps during the recent fine settled spell.

Clonmel1000

Terrible day here raining all day. 15 degrees. F-ing miserable day.

Harry Palmr

Just fecking wretched and I was out in it much of the day - the only variance was the level of wetness in Waterford.

On the 26 June this year by the way, Ireland will have its 130th anniversary of its warmest day on record which was 33.3c at Kilkenny Castle on 26 June 1887.

If I luckily find any information on June 1887 online in regards to Irish weather, I will do an article on June 1887's weather to celebrate the 130th anniversary.

Rock Lesnar

Dry here since the rain cleared this morning, very cloudy and very mild in a strong breeze
