Today Ireland is the coldest country in Europe overall.

yep Iceland is beating us with a balmy 17C on the east coast of Iceland.

We're only 2 degrees warmer than lapland (the rest of Scandinavia is same as us or slightly warmer. Northern Scotland really only sticks out as the one area that is cooler than us. Temperatures are beginning to stage a slight recovery in France and Spain.

A tad over 10c near Dublin Airport. Dull and rainy.

Very different to this time last year.

No sign of it turning settled and warmer anytime soon.

I’m guessing it’s colder in some locations today than Christmas Day?

looks fairly grim alright, Met Eireann's forecast on RTE is poor, they are predicting tomorrow to be a degree or two colder than today and drizzle to persist in eastern areas for most of tomorrow.

Temperatures mostly in the 10 to 14C range between now and next Tuesday. Looks like improving temperatures later next week, but looks to be mid to high teens for the rest of the month and plenty of showers or longer outbreaks of rain.

in all honesty most of December felt milder than this June so far. Both day and night.

You LC students clearly didn’t study hard enough this year to give us our annual good weather! Unfortunately as a result, it has been decided that the next leaving cert classes will have to suffer an Indian summer of 30c in September as punishment

Lashing now in CC

Gonzo

rain getting heavier here too once again.

Gavsweather latest update is not promising at all, especially for us in Ireland as we see the Atlantic dominating from next week onwards and hints once again of a repeat of the current conditions into the first week of July with the jet diving well south of us once again with northern blocking perhaps intensifying into the first week of July. I really hope that doesn't happen.

lawred2

Heavier here now. It's been raining solidly all day.

F**k this to be honest

Lads that is an absolute disaster of an outlook

where is that?

DOCARCH

High of 10.4c here today, so far, in Dublin 16 (since 0900).

Another frustrating thing is the fact that we can’t really say the weather is always ****e here. Last summer proved just how beautiful it can be here.

Just this round of weather would make anyone cry.

this is it, looks a bit more promising for maybe the south of England and wales, but looking at the charts, Ireland is never far away from low pressure, and the first week of July looks almost like a repeat of the current situation. It's so far out in FI tho, but at the same time it's not very comforting that signals a month from now are still poor enough.

Video also mentions that the GFS Operational we've been used to is being put to bed and what was known as the GFS Parallel will be the new operational, first one rolling out around now.

The past week has been far too cold for the time of year, even for us. Temperatures should be back to more normal values next week and beyond with mid to high teens, instead of 9-14C which many of us have had over the past week or more. Sadly there is no signs of settled conditions but getting rid of these very low daytime temperatures is a start.

While the outlook for next few weeks looks poor, more traditional Irish summer conditions, I am still remaining hopeful that the second half of summer will bring something more seasonal for us.

True. You can bet your bottom dollar that we will see the 9-14c range come December

Cloudy but bone dry in Arklow all day
Grand for working outside as long as you have a fleece
Currently 11.8c

If that's the case my plans for the meadow are gone already on 12th June. I will wait till mid summes day hoping for a change. It could still improve I hope.

Kutebride

Rain all day. Dublin 2 and Meath. A waste of a long evening indoors. Dark and dreary.
Making the silage over in the west I'm hearing

Such a miserable June and it really is a shame with the longest day of the year so close to not be out enjoying the long evenings. Would drive you to drink!

A moderate breeze has developed in Castebar making it feel colder, getting gusts of 62 km/hr currently, but today has been thankfully dry.
