Honestly, I'm struggling the past few days!

Just as well I'm moving to the Middle East again in a couple of months.

Ah now
I did also put a jumper on though !
It was the wind this evening
It was pleasant enough during the day but a real bite after that

pauldry

far from pleasant in Sligo blustery n 15c all day with heavy showers in evening. Like October.

The next week isnt much better.

I fear the storm has put all the weather "back in place"

e.g. it was upside down last week with rain in Spain and heat here but now its back to drivel.

I was pinning my hopes on a relatively quiet Atlantic this Summer but losing faith in the rest of June anyways

You guys in Munster and Leinster should see a few days over the 20c mark though.

December 8th 2011 Radio Orkney
**138.5 Miles Per Hour Gust recorded in... - BBC Radio Orkney ...

138.5 Miles Per Hour Gust recorded in Kirkwall ** Last nights wind speeds - Barry Johnston from Scotrenewables has been in touch with the highest...

This is on facebook which I am not on.. Please note; MILES per hour

This was after I left; the highest I was there in was gusts of 124 MILES per hour

I had a smallholding and was outside in it trying to feed stock; hanging on to the washing poles for dear life... It felt as if the skin was being flayed off your face and that lasted 72 hours. A neighbour;s hen house took off,all killed. Huge rocks thrown across fields,

So I enjoy the gales here....Took me years to stop being terrified.

Oh and a thunderbolt sounding like the crack of doom and filling the air with its stench of electrical burning that had TVs burning up, modems killed, a telephone pole smashed to splinters and cattle bursting their chains when they got a shock..
(Lights just went out here!!!!!!!)

But don't forget that in the weather forum, we don't go by the old Pagan calender which means that we are still a month away from mid summer.

Met Éireann's old 5 day forecast charts suggest 23c in the midlands near the southeast next Tuesday.

3 day running mean maxima for the country. Have returned closer to average (81-10)





Mean minima still running above however.

could be warm and pleasant across much of the east, south and midlands from Sunday, lasting well into next week.

Clonmel1000

Not a good day in the midlands showery and cold enough quite blustery. Didn’t hear one person refer to today or yesterday for that matter as a nice day.

Mobhi1

It was a nice enough day in Dublin. No blazing sun but there was some and there was a bit of a breeze but it wasn't recently off the sea. The high was 18.2C. It's currently mostly cloudy with the odd burst of sunshine, breezy and 16.2C.

Gonzo

heavy shower here now, first wet ground I've seen here in weeks.
