Summer 2020 - General Discussion

eon1208

I'd be hoping the high might start to build a week earlier than that, or is that just wishful thinking. Met Eireann said this morning that after the next Thurs into Friday low things may settle a bit. Could next Saturday be the beginning of a slow transition away from atlantic driven flows, not to mention the easterly lows we had in early June.
My wishful thinking is down to wanting to make some decent quality hay. The longer the settled period delays the more the grass loses quality.

The end of October just called from the future and wants its weather back.

Constant since yday morning
Had hoped to go for a hill walk this weekend with the young lad . Can’t even get outside the back door it’s so windy
Sadly we were not allowed do anything like that during our summer as restrictions were in place

pauldry

Put on the rain gear and have a hot shower when home

You live in Ireland

Yep + I'm just waiting for the no such thing as bad weather comment! The fact is who wants to be out in that wind + rain all weekend in middle of summer.

Well only one thing for it. Off I go to do some retail therapy + help save the economy!

Donegal Storm

Miserable winters day in Donegal, raining for 24 hours straight now. After the nice bank holiday weekend June has increasingly turned out to be a terrible month here

Oneiric 3

Only spitty light rain in Galway but it is constant and it is a bit depressing when combined with that low white grey sky and eternal wind.

kingshankly

It’s 11 degrees here in the north east wind howling rain pelting down it’s a bad day for January never mind June

Xenji

Over 40mm of rain so far this weekend in Castlebar, quite gusty as well today.

Reading through this thread is like.....how to describe....walking around after an A bomb has hit your city, and yet somehow most people are arguing about whether it's been "a little bit rough lately" while others are saying "this is normal stop complaining."

Like my mind doesn't even comprehend.

I could say the same about a guy who said our winters are getting longer following the mildest winter on record :cool:

Is it me or has it been very windy for the last month?

Clonmel1000

Just out training there. Laughable really. It’s windy it’s cold it’s on and off raining. June hasn’t been good here it’s actually been bad. Dull often wet and no heat other than Thursday since June 2nd. Even the thunder we were promised never happened. Its miserable and looking increasingly like we are marooned here for the summer.

Its has been extremely windy for June. Not just about wind speed but direction wind is coming in that had made it so bad.


The thoughts of holidaying at home this summer is very depressing.


Its going to be a long winter.

Agree with everything except one point - you did get a pretty decent thunderstorm this month.

Apologies I meant the thunder on Thursday which was flagged. We had some good thunder a few weeks ago one night certainly.

Ya it's bad in Sligo now.

Not even a soft day.

Hardy.

Donegal Storm

Good thing we have a hosepipe ban or everyone out watering their gardens would be increasing the flood risk

Neddyusa

Pretty wintery weekend.
This is our climate.
As sure as night follows day - after a record breaking dry and sunny spring - this spell of weather was inevitable.

Yet, when I and others posted as much back in May and that people should get out and make the most of it if they could, we were angrily snapped at by posters calling us negative.
And some of those same posters are busy moaning how they can't get out of the house now....go figure!
