Had a lot of rain yesterday evening and overnight in Oranmore, Galway. Now a misty, muggy start to the day.

Weather has been ok the last couple of weeks, winds have died down a little and it's been warm if not a bit too humid for me. But I long for some blue skies. We had our first BBQ of the year on Saturday under warm grey skies.

Two years today we had 850hPa temperatures that many of us can't even reach as surface daytime temps this month. At least 25 stations across the island including Northern Ireland achieved 30C or greater including 33.0C at Phoenix Park and 32.4C at Athy.

Dear god in the middle of the worst Summer in years, and you're missing rain 😮 I just read M.T Cranium's forecast for August " Early August at this long range appears to go back to wet and windy conditions with well-developed frontal systems approaching from the southwest", so at this stage I will beg, steal or borrow to get away from this incredibly depressing so called Summer.

I feared that people would lose their minds here when the dry clouds starting producing rain 🙂 I did warn ye to make the most of the dry first half of July. Fair bit of rain overnight, hoping for a dry evening. This is actually a superb time for fishing too - rain after a long dry spell brings oxygen back into the water and the fish become active again.
