Summer 2022 - General Discussion

I just took a look again and the charts don't look as wet as they did up to yesterday. It will still be unsettled with rain/showers everyday from tomorrow evening but the totals have certaintly come down alot to what the GFS was showing up to yesterday.

We've also seen the last of the really cold daytime temperatures for the time being. Temperatures from tomorrow will be back to a more normal level generally 15 to 19C instead of the 10 to 13C we've been used to over the past week.

Tomorrow looks fairly decent for much of the country with temperatures finally where they should be for summer. Up to 20C possible in places tomorrow with high teens almost nationwide.

Tomorrow looks mostly dry across the eastern half of the country until very late in the day. Showers in some western and south-western areas with a band of heavy rain moving in there from the afternoon.

Tomorrow should make up for the atrocious temperatures and damp gloom we had over the weekend.

Thursday and Friday could be decent in Leinster and parts of Ulster too with some sunny spells and temperatures possibly reaching 21C, but with charts changing so quickly recently I wouldn't bank on that yet.

Very similar to what I was thinking. Overall June could be the coolest month of the summer this year. MT has been suggesting that July and perhaps August will be mixed but warmer than average.

Looking at the CFS long range for what it's worth, things certainly get warmer for July with high pressure in control for a week or so and then the Atlantic onslaught for August. The Unsettled August is about as predictable as a mild to warm December.

The weather in London won't be too bad over the next few weeks, certainly alot dryer than Ireland and most of the UK over the next few weeks, even in bad summers London and the SE generally escapes the bad weather. However I don't think London will be as warm as recent summers although the odd very hot plumey day is very likely. London may also get some very cool days like what they had on Sunday if the bands on rain make it that far south.

The best we can hope for in Ireland over the next few weeks is a few isolated dry days here and there and make the most of any dry interludes that arise. It will be one of those Junes. I'm still feeling hopeful we shall see an improvement for July with a build in high pressure, even if just for 3 or 4 days.
