Summer 2022 - General Discussion

HOT STUFF Ireland weather – Blast of warm air to hit country next week with temps reaching up to 30C

there ya go folks……Headline in the rags today

Models are having a laugh this evening. ECM shows all this rain now for Thursday whilst under a ridge. This forsaken summer and this forsaken country keep on giving 🙄 I can't be bothered anymore. Echoing others, what a joke.

The only positive I can see with this summer is I've stopped buying anymore summer clothes😂

If we get nice weather early on I'm lulled into a false sense of security that we are going to have an amazing summer and then I think 'Oh I need loads more summer clothes'

Well it's certainly not happening this year🙄

I don’t blame the country(as such) I blame the models giving us all this false bs hope.

Huge spread in T850 for the "peak" of the warm plume Friday. The ECM Ensembles range from 20 to 2 C, with a mean of about 10 C. All down to the fact that we lie just on the northern extent of its progress, wiith a cold northwesterly quickly setting in. A small change either way is bound to yield very different results on the ground. Of course, the rags will take only the very maximum member into account, hence the nonsense about 30 C.

Another day of

Lovely and bright here in North County Dublin but unfortunately that f&&King wind is still here with us at Dublin Airport.

We are just back from walk and if it wasn't for the wind it would be grand.

It's cloudy but not too cold but the wind takes about 5 degrees off the temperature.

The rain is also on the way, big black clouds.

I've to be positive so at least we didn't get caught in rain.

Breezy cool very littlE sun. Disappointed but not unexpected. I want to say at least it’s dry but really another summer weekend slipping by.

Not a bad day in Cork, feeling warm in the spells of sunshine. Wish that breeze would disappear though, it’s relentless lately.

They admitted on news weather that "we don't know what the weather will be like in 2nd half of week"

Well they're thinking over in the UK that it's going to be roasting but there are serious doubts whether the heat will make it as far as Ireland so could be 34c in London and 18c here though any slight shift in this westward and we'd have mid twenties. Hence the uncertainty for now.

Hi Paul, as per your post last week you said you had a thunderstorm in your area, have you any vidoes etc? would love to see

So far in the 12 days wev had 7 good days and 5 bad ones and the wettest one has had 8mm. The Thunderstorm we had last week was about 4mm in about 10 minutes but no video of same. It lashed for about 5 to 10 minutes and was gone. Might have been a rumble of thunder too but not like the spectacular thunderstorms we got in June a couple of years ago Oscar.
