    A fairly poor week to come with spells of rain or showers at times and temperatures generally staying in the teens for the most part. A poor bank holiday weekend weatherwise. There are signs that things will become more settled and hopefully warmer in about a weeks time.

    Absolutely p*ssing it down here in Carrigaline. Co. Cork for the last while. What it did do was clear that crappy high sapping humidity earlier and last early AM / all night.

    Ah well .. plus ça change

    Same, went for a nice long walk in the rain, so long since we got some rain, though likely won't add up to a lot.

    Is it just me or did Met Eireann either underestimate the wet or not articulate well the weather for Saturday?

    They made a right mess of it. I watched the weather yesterday and the south East was supposed to be lovely all day. I am not in the south East more the North East but I can tell you it has been miserable here all day :(

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    We're lucky with the summer in our location Robert. If being fussy could do with more sun but there's been so much dry pleasant weather that it's a nice Irish summer. You can nearly hear the grass grow with the rain!

    Today is a write off in Meath, drizzle all morning after heavy showers earlier on. Moderate steady rain for the past hour. A day to stay inside.

    One of the biggest underestimations by Met Eireann occurred on this Bank Holiday weekend 25 years ago.

    The Friday of the Bank Hol Weekend was warm with hazy sunshine. Fronts in Biscay were forecast to skirt the south west and south coast over the weekend. The fronts went as far north as Sligo! 3 days of torrential rain followed south of that line.

    Remember it well. There were doing a job on strengthening banks of a local river and they left a few big holes in the banks over that weekend. Water level rose quickly due to the rain, and the banks were rendered useless due to the holes, it caused a serious amount of flooding of land in the area.

    Too right they did absolutely gobs**tes.

    I booked Tayto Park for today as it was meant to be the 'best' day of weekend.

    We got up this morning to heavy rain and 6 year old was crying 😢.

    It was meant to clear by 12pm of rain, never happened.

    Thankfully from 12pm-4pm while it rained constantly it was only drizzly.

    Torrential rain though from 4pm onwards.

    Yes we brought all the rain gear, so we were better off than loads of people and we still had a great day, but I would never have booked today if that was the weather we were going to get.

    Fair play to the girl who gave us one last shot on Teddy Bear game and saved the day as we won a big Teddy to bring home.👏

    Not be bad of a day here northwest of Gorey. Was wet early this morning, got out for a run and it was dry until around 5pm. Haven't been following the weather this week so wasn't expecting a wet evening. Probably should have cut the grass when it was dry but hopefully tomorrow will have dry spells and will get around to it then. But you can almost see the grass growing this evening. The rain is badly needed around here so won't complain but its so humid and sticky.

    Are you serious?!!

    Had to double and trebble-check the date when I read this!

    Sky's been on the ground here with constant very heavy drizzle the whole day.

    12mm so far, the first full wet day in what feels like months.

    Lit the fire for the first time since May.

    More to dry the pervasive dampness than for heat.

    Annoying me as this rain didn't show on either the forecast or on the radar at all.

    Was it actually a sunny day in Galway?!!

    Abysmal driving conditions this evening, just after getting in from Dublin, lots of surface water and spray on the motorways. The next 4 days look very wet with up to 35 or 40mm of rain in places. A traditional Irish August bank holiday.

    However looking on the positive side we should see a big improvement in the weather in about a week with plenty of warm and hopefully dry conditions. Could do with another prolonged settled spell after todays rain and the rain of the next few days.

    YR (usually very accurate with short term rain here) forecast a dry day for us, with rain to come at 9pm.

    ME have been phoning it in this week. Between this and Joanna's 23. Something as she called it as a daily maximum the other day.

    Once it doesn't happen within 10 miles of Glasnevin/Donnybrook it doesn't seem to matter.

    Rained stopped here in Carrick about an hour ago, not much fell but needed rain in my opinion, i do hope we have a few more warm days before summer is out, evenings have gotten shorter but it won't be long before the sun loses it's heat

    Missing out on a lot of the rain here in south Laois with just over 4mm recorded since 10am.

    We had some rain last night that dropped 1.6mm.

    Fairly dry here (just a few bits of drizzle) up until after 4pm then a soft but steady fall of rain since.

    First proper rain since July 1st. (Over 2mm)

    Just came back from three weeks in Majorca this afternoon.

    21 days without rain and each day in the low thirties.. blissful.

    But I was happy enough to get back to a living temperature. Couldn't even do something basic down there without sweating... And as for the constant SPF routines..

    I'd find an entire summer of that very very draining.

    Still noone likes to see wet August bank holiday weekends or forecasts for consecutive days of rain midsummer.
