Rainbow here in Dublin 5 but it didn't rain at all. Mostly cloudy with brief sunny intervals all day. I haven't seen the ground wet since the 27th of May!

Proper Rain here now, no escaping this

Sunny in Dublin 5 . Lots of cloud around though. Ground is dry but it's obvious that it rained a little.

Still haven't had considerable rain here since a few thundershowers in late May.

Cool cloudy breezy. 15 degrees dark grey clouds overhead such a difference from last Saturday. Not nice at all.

Bright and very breezy. Challenging and with dramatic black clouds ready to burst West Mayo offshore

Thursday was nice with a lot of sunny spells but yesterday and today have been very boring, not necessarily unpleasant.

EDIT: It has started to brighten up here in Dublin 13 now as soon as I say this.

This seems to be doing the rounds at the moment but will post it here anyway. Beautiful time-lapse of summer shower in Austria by photographer Peter Maier.

Models beginning to look good from mid-late this week with strong signal for High pressure to dominate! Fingers crossed.

The breeze went away last night for my party but surprisingly it started raining which I wasn’t expecting. Either way we were under a gazebo so that worked out ok!

Today is overcast slightly windy

Artane2002

Cloudy again in Dublin 5. Again, last night's rain failed to wet the ground properly. In fact, it is completely dry now.

Heavy showers, some quite persistent here in Leitrim for the fourth day in a row.
