A person has died in a mudslide in North Yorkshire, police have said.

Cold and cloudy here in Castlebar with light rain at times. feeling very cool in a northerly wind

Saturday looks absolutely dreadful 😭

Chilly night in Dublin. And fairly breezy. Pleased with how dry the week has been so far though, considering what was forecast. Looks like it will come next week instead now.

Relative chill this morning in a fresh breeze. Bright enough. 12c N Kildare

Baltic 😕 Strong cool breeze

13° Meath

Was 10c this morning. Now 11c but wind chill in it. Not that unusual as I go running 3 or 4 times a week and recall nearly all Mays or June's having periods of weather like this. Just a shock after 24.6c at start of week but thunderstorms tend to wreck our weather for weeks anyway so probably bad till mid June now.

Positively freezing out. 8c but feels a lot cooler than that. Nothing a coffee and a danish won't fix to warm the cockles

Dogs getting increasingly uncomfortable in the heat the last few weeks waiting for their grooming on Wed 22nd. Without even looking at the forecast, I said to myself that no sooner will their grooming date finally arrive and they get the first of their short Summer cuts, than the temperatures will drop like a stone and they'll end up chilly without their longer fur….Right on schedule!! LOL

11C and rain at the moment. Leitrim

Lovely day in Galway too. Dry and sunny. The growth is insane again. Busy weekend in garden.

10 degrees, cold and wet in NCD.

Wasn't it a lovely summer all the same😉

Rubbish weather the last couple of days - Cool, grey, drizzle and wind. Awful stuff.

However we can’t complain too much I guess as the last few weekends were lovely.

Re This summer, It’s all about July and August for me. Would love these two months to be good. I will take an average/ poor June if it means we get a cracking July and August. Last July felt like winter. We certainly don’t want a repeat of that.

Jaysus but some of the posts here over the past 24 hours make for grim reading. If myself and some other posters went on like that we'd be accused of depressing everyone 🙄

And for all the doom and gloom re forecasts of dartboard lows and what have you, it's actually been a really nice week here in Tralee, much nicer than what was forecast. Now while I wouldn't call May outstanding, it certainly has been nice so far, mainly dry and pleasant and reasonably mild and I'm thrilled with how my garden is looking and the flowers are blooming. 😀

I try not to get too carried away by the forecasts, they can be very depressing [hint, hint Gonzo!]. And sometimes it can turn out better. That said, I'll do plenty of complaining too if there is a crappy spell. But in fairness we haven't seen that in quite a few weeks. Fingers crossed.🙏

BrIght and sunny Meath.

Make the most of the morning hours because rain is coming from SW.

Cool photo @DOCARCH

Plenty cloud moved in across Meath now after morning sunshine..

15C cloudy and quite blustery. Leitrim.

Looks like some nasty showers tomorrow afternoon in the south and Midlands warnings will most likely be issued
