Summer 2023 - General Discussion

No significant rain at my location for over 5 weeks. It was glorious while it lasted but my garden needs it badly and the farmers need it even more. I prefer rainwater to watering plants/veg.

26c possible tomorrow. Humid, drizzle and sunshine.

People will often comment on how **** the weather is too, but that does not mean that it affects their overall mood. Most people don't care about the weather; they only comment on it to make conversation. Attempt to steer the conversation further into the topic of weather and they will shut down. There is much more important stuff to talk about, like who won the match yesterday or what guests were on the late late show

Shannon Apt's unbroken streak of consecutive 20C days since May 29th is still ongoing today with 26 days now.

Only 5th July-1st August 2013 (28 days) and 24th July-26th August 1995 (34 days) have had longer streaks since its records began in 1945 and those were both later in the summer unlike this one which is very early.

Too muggy out. I can't wait for the fresher conditions.

I'm not too sure if your post is intended to be sarcastic or not. I couldn't give two sh1ts who is on The Late Late Show nor do I care about who won the "insert sport name here" match. If sarcasm was not intended, then perhaps sports match results and who's on the telly are your own personal things that are important to you but everyone is different.

I do, however, care about whether I can carry out outdoor tasks and social activities in pleasant weather. Warm (or hot), calm and sunny weather makes my mood better. Warm and calm does the job fairly well too as does calm and sunny. Warm and sunny but windy, not go good.

But cold, rain and wind all bring my mood down. I'm OK with cold and dry but calm, better with sunshine of course.

When the weather is fine, I'm generally outdoors. During the recent good weather, I didn't switch a TV on for days upon days as I was enjoying doing things outside, right until dusk.....thankfully the long evenings in this country allow us this luxury that most populations do not get to savour.

"Some people feel the rain; others just get wet".

It’s Bonfire night so obviously it’s now raining :(

A 27C over the North East tomorrow on the Met Map. Thankfully looks like being dry for most of us.

Shannon and Dublin airport both 19°c at midnight, it's a mild one.

19⁰ this morning already. wow. Overcast. Breezy. Warm. Meath.

Got soaked on school run yesterday. 3pm Meath.

Not much rain forecast today I think.

Salthill for the early deluge tomorrow for thr GAA match there.

22 degrees at 9am at phoenix park in Dublin. So warm out there. This really has been a great summer so far, last summer was lovely too to be fair

Met.ie showing today and tomorrow dry in Galway despite all the rain forecasts earlier in the week.

Over the past 2 weeks, forecasters have really got the rain predictions wrong. We did get rain but nothing remotely similar to what was forecast. Are the models struggling? Or maybe it's raining at night more.

Mace Head still showing 14mm for June (Average is 82mm)

Up to 25 degrees now at phoenix Park, wonder might it sneak a 26 or 27 today.
