    Another anticyclonic gloom day across S Laois, but the plus for me is no breeze. I'd take this over a sunny+windy day.

    Temperatures more or less hit the same 17c to 18c range again today, really on the poor side for July.

    Tried to rain but nothing came of it.

    Very cool overcast morning in Kerry, went to work and found it hard to warm up and to take my jacket off so much so by lunch time I was getting concerned I had Covid and did a test ! No covid just the older building I was in had really cooled down recently. Did get up to around 18C for a short time with a few drops before falling away again, nice bright night though so will excuse the cooler evening.

    I'd say this Summer is still a work in progress and it's been quite dry. Rainfall is below normal in all the country. Wind has died down somewhat in July and temperatures have improved but its been one of the dullest Summers in the West and North for many years. Dunno if sun shining through white cloud counts as sun when you can barely make out your shadow. There will not be the usual August washout in 2022 methinks. Maybe normal rain at worst.

    Despite the peak mean temperatures being recorded in the 3rd week of July I always feel August can deliver sun and heat.

    August 1995 had a mean temperature of 18.9c in Kilkenny Station. That's the warmest month recorded here isn't it?

    Finding something very annoying about the Met Éireann app on iPhone - why doesn’t it have the latest reports option on it?

    Cloud breaking up over Dublin. Makes a huge difference.

    Same on a normal/Android phone, not just Apples - it's annoying that I have to go to the website just for that.

    It's down a bit of a rabbit hole on the phone! Bit of navigation to find it and I ended up bookmarking it.

    Glorious in North donegal for most of the day so far.

    As a famous man once sang, "if only it could be like this all the time".

    Lovely day in Galway and heat in that sunshine.

    I'd take a July like this every single year.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I can't remember seeing the sun or feeling its heat since our well publicised heat wave.

    Wore a fleece in work yesterday.

    Will I get a long enough dry spell next week to finish off a polytunnel?

    Need 2 days and am stuck with the kids at sea swimming lessons all week. 😭

    The cloud broke this afternoon and its been a glorious afternoon. Sunny intervals with cloud but I'll take it.

    I actually took the jumper off this afternoon. (Shocking, I know)

    A large contrast in soil moisture deficits across the country. The map below applies to moderate drainage. 6mm SMD at Malin Head and 20mm at Belmullet, meanwhile up to 80mm at Dublin Airport. Interestingly, the only time Dublin Airport has had a higher SMD since 1979 is June/July 2018.

    Lovely sunny morning and early afternoon here and got up to 20c but it slowly but surely clouded over and ended up grey and overcast like yesterday and countless other days this summer.

    That soil moisture graph in summer is becoming a bit of a norm since 2016. I think of mid August 2018 especially and the contrast north west and west to south east.
