Summer 2022 - General Discussion

Exactly,I know it has been a very bad summer for your area OldRio and other parts of the northwest and I understand your frustration but when u hear some posters completely writing off the summer(not you) and putting away their BBQs for good its just childish talk

😆😆🤣

I wouldn't believe any of those charts anymore. There'll be a cool Northwesterly instead and windy just like 21 days in June have been so the percentage chance of windy days very high.

Is this the windiest June on record?

There's branches everywhere on paths here.

I thought it was only in Ireland we got that type of weather🤔

What they get in the west of Scotland tops anything we get in Ireland 😅 the wettest part gets 5x Dublin's average 😳

Genuinely shivering from the chill off the wind this morning & it's July this week, honestly May & June have been absolutely horrendous its depressing.

No consistency settled consistency whatsoever, could get one grand day then back to grey skies & rain, even when the clouds go the wind just ruins it =(

BBQ been used twice at best, counting the seconds till heading off to the Balkans!

The morning chill was here too. Sunny now but heavy rain on way. Some places will end up with triple their normal rainfall this week or more

Yeah I wrote that in Balbriggan as I was walking down for me train, in town now & its a heap of patchy cloud.

Have looked at the 15 day forecasts to try give myself some hope, apparently July will settle down.

Dare I say this has been exceptionally dry and a “good” summer so far in Kilkenny until the last few days (rain that was badly needed). Was no problem with anything outdoors until now really

Don't normally complain about the weather as its pointless and we generally expect a few bad spells during the summer on the west coast, but wow since the first week of May we've had very few days you can be comfortable outside, can't remember the last day we had sunshine for more than an hour and the wind...pretty much relentless.

Certainly a notable inclement spell, I do feel bad for anyone on holidays here right now, hard to even go for a quick walk most days.

Is this a consequence of a stronger La Niña than usual? I'm interested if there is an identifiable pattern or predictable system associated with this year's non stop Atlantic conveyer.

Have you not had the relentless wind? I've found that's a barrier with kids, small babies don't like being feed outside in a wind that will cut them in two.

Windy but certainly not relentless. Was welcome some of the warm days. But didn’t help the drought scenario

This Summer isn't looking great. Even the brief High next weekend. That NW prevailing wind that we secretly get in Summer (Met Eireann thinks its Southwesterly) will be sliding all kinds of mixed cool muck over us until August. Then wel prob run out of rain so the annual August monsoon may not happen this year. That's as positive as I can get today.

It's Monday. It's nearly July. It's 11c. It's raining.
