Ireland weather: Brutal Atlantic blast to smash country this weekend but Met Eireann forecast U-turn (msn.com)

And look, they even have a photo of a young woman holding an unbrella in the rain 😦😲😲

Terrifying stuff.

As Friday is the first day of the weekend I must say the brutal weather we had today was terrifying in Sligo. Over 1mm of rain and 8 hours of sunshine and temperature of 19c.

Tonight might be wet a while but just some showers tomorrow.

Flew back into Kerry today from Alicante, met a massively different Kerry to the one I flew out of a week ago. Chilly, overcast, spats of rain and the rain finally came down this evening. Good luck Rose of Tralee festival! I'm wrecked as I had a lot of things to do over, running around in the August heat of southern Spain. So a few days of this muck might actually suit me to lie low and take it easy. But feck it I hope there's more of decent weather to come! I really hate coming back to seeing everyone already attired for autumn, big fecking jackets and thick shoes. 😥 Everyone practically naked when I was leaving. I've spent about 6 weeks of summer here in Kerry since early June and 5 of them were quite crap. 😒 Fingers crossed the fat lady hasn't finished singing yet!

Although there is more chances of seeing the Northern lights in the long term especially from 2nd till 5th September, low to medium chances from 5th till 7th

Very normal weather till the end of August. Some warm sunny spells some rain nothing extreme at either end but quite surprised to see dead grass in Sligo on return yesterday. We have had rain. In London it was all dead. In Arklow restricted growth but not as bad on way to Dublin as I thought it would be.

London weather was mixed but there mixed is 25c every day though after Wednesdays 3 hour deluge there it got to a cool 16c which was pleasant. Metro was uncomfortably warm retains the heat from Summer.

Surprised with forecast that still bone dry in Meath. 19⁰. Very breezy.

I see the radar has the precip just above us all morning. It feels 'like it's boiling for a shower' as my mother would say. Black clouds floating around now.

Still waiting for it here near Trim. Put clothes out earlier in pure hope and they’re fully dry now. Only prob is off to a garden party at 5, they changed the time to allow the band to pass but now it’s moving so slow, we’ll be in the thick of it at that time! It may be indoors now 😬

No rain at all this week in north Offaly. Can see it in the distance at the minute. Grass very tight for animals and wells starting to run into bother. Going to take a lot to turn things around. Fingers crossed sept a wet month. Hopefully models wrong for next eeek and we get a wet week

Decent enough day in Cork, breezy but warm in the sun, staying between 20C and 22C.

Had i known you wanted the the rain Gonzo i wouldn't of hogged it here all day 😁

From thinking at 9am this morning the rain shouldn't last too long to thinking will it ever clear. 38mm in the gauge today, about 27mm of that between 11 & 1 when there was some short torrential bursts. Temperature hovered between 13 & 14c all day but it didn't feel overly cool out. The Sun only came out at 5.30.
