Summer 2021 General Discussion

I had farmers asking me about rain as nothing came on Wednesday, so some parts are getting bad in terms of rain, other areas bad in terms of lack of rain.

Maybe it is better today.

As has been said, past few days in Dublin or August so far has been ok. Been sunnier locally for me closer to the coast but hardly a tropical paradise whilst still dry.

This morning though is literally a typical winter or late autumn morning with rain and wind. Worst morning of the summer. August in full swing (or as I like to joke Autumngust).

The farmers will be happy today, Robert thats for sure, although they should be careful what they wish for could lead to floods.

A miserable day in Castlebar . Not even a few sparks to liven things up

Sunshine and showers in Achill.

I know it rained heavily during the night but it isn't that bad of a day so far.

Torrential Showers in Kildare

Torrential rain in Castlebar currently.

Very warm and hasn't rained in a couple of hours in West Mayo right on the coast here, the showers seem to be just missing us to the southwest, some very nice sunny spells in the last while

Doesn't surprise me, the last shower here in North Kildare was torrential, even by my standards. Plenty of thunder rumbling to my west and northwest for the past half hour, in the direction of Mullingar. I posted a couple of vids on the "Current Weather" thread.

Some of the heaviest rain in years fell here in north east Kilkenny, didn't last too long but with thunder.

Just turned as black as the ace of spades here in Dublin 15 and I can hear distant growls of thunder. We had a 6 or 7 minute torrential shower about 90 minutes ago, but suspect we ain't seen nothing yet.

Was planning to head to Kerry next week but the weather forecast looks very wet midweek. I presume that forecast unlikely to change?

I'm just 15 miles south of Claremorris near Tuam and it's been mainly dry all afternoon, we've being leading a charmed life it would seem.

Tables may get turned later on or tomorrow, it's pot luck with the slow circulation around the LP centre.
