    Another beautiful evening in Dublin. If only we could copy and paste summer 2022 each year. Unreal

    Wondering does anyone know if or when rain will arrive in Wicklow tomorrow. I need 8 hours of dry skies to allow some wood stain and varnish to dry. ME forecast for Leinster is vague and Accuweather is saying a 24% chance of rain but it doesnt say when. Was planning on 9am to start the job so hoping to avoid rain till at least 5pm.

    I'd predict that Wicklow should stay dry well into tomorrow late afternoon or evening time.

    If you're off work tomorrow, I'd be cracking open the varnish tin just after sunrise (6.30am approx) and be supping on a beer a few hours later basking in sunshine! 😃

    Here is the 12Z GFS prediction for 6pm tomorrow evening - rain only pushing into west Offaly at that stage. And playing the sequence forward it breaks up over Leinster. I'd say Wicklow will get a bout of drizzle at worst from it around darkfall.

    This year has been better than last year overall but I still thought last year's summer was one of the best in years. That was true for athenry anyway especially since August 2019 was probably the worst August I've seen. We had nearly 300mm of rain in athenry, which was double the value for most other westerly stations.

    I see athenry just missed out on heatwave criteria this summer. It reached 25.0 on the first day of heat which didn't count, it needed to be greater than 25c to be a heatwave.

    A nice few days down here in the south west since the stunner on Sunday. Cloudy and showery at times but nice and warm which is my deal breaker for summer. Looks like we might get the usual back to school nice run which I always love. 😎 Fingers crossed.

    beautiful morning here in Meath too, plenty of sunshine. the only thing missing about this August is I'd love a few days at the end of mid twenties nationwide but I think low twenties is about the best we're going to get.

    As we approach the end of Summer I've been looking back over the rainfall distribution of the three summer months so far here at Durrow:

    • June: 104.6mm
    • July 21.4mm
    • August 14.1mm (so far).

    Giving a seasonal total of 140.1mm.

    What is more interesting is four days out of a six day spell from June 24th to June 29th where 76mm of that 140.1mm fell (over 50% of all this summer's rain!) June 24th alone delivered 33.8mm from a thunderstorm; June 25th - 11.4mm; June 26th - 0.1mm; June 27th - 19.6mm; June 28th - 0.5mm and finally June 29th 11.1mm. Other notable June falls included the 2nd - 10.1mm.

    Drove through Gonzo’s neck of the woods this morning on the way to Navan and my god the weather was awful. Navan not much better. Hopefully it will clear away soon.

    Hows the weather in Galway looking around Sept 5-11? I am planning a few days camping in the hills.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I wasn't expecting such a miserable morning, nothing very wet just very damp. Starting to clear up now with weak sunshine popping out for few seconds every now and then.

    I'm actually in for some shock when autumn hits, the last 2 months have been so fab and warm in Dublin even on dull days.

    Today at 14 degrees and drizzly rain is reminding me of what is coming.

    Yeah today is definitely a shock to the system. Miserable earlier driving to Navan but at least there was no wind. Much improved now though.

    Not looking forward to the windy wet spells that will inevitably happen during Autumn.

    It's well improved this afternoon in Laois after a cloudy, cool morning.

    Feeling pleasant in lengthy spells of sunshine. Temperatures 19/20c.

    My least favourite weather type is cold rain and showers, what the forecast is suggesting in early September.

    I'd much prefer a Biscay breakdown or some south westerly, southerly component, warm rain 😊
