Summer 2024 - General Discussion

Cheers fits, glad you got your hay baled. The neighbour next door is just after shaking his hay out this afternoon after a very drizzly morning. If the weather remained dry he could have baled today, but it's knife-edge stuff for him now.

It's like bingo now for me, eyes down model watching 👀

Tomorrow the best of the weather will be towards the East up to 24c possible. More cloud in the west with rain threatening in the afternoon.

The main differences between us and our neighbouring countries further south east is our heatwaves only seem to last 2-3 days at most, miraculous if 4 days. Whereas when the likes of London/Paris/Berlin/Amsterdam get a heatwave, the sunshine lasts a whole 7 days. Whereas we’re punished over here, there’s always that lurking feeling of punishment for a few days of sunshine—rain showers, entire months of cloud cover, sudden temperature drops. I mean we have to beg and pray for just one calender day that’s >25 degrees a year.

Wasn't it lovely while it lasted😁

Drizzle nearly all day in Dublin/Kildare. Hate a day like this - humid and grey.

Make the most of it, there is some seriously atrocious misery coming for the forseeable… perma cloud,rain, gloom and cool temperatures, it must soon be july.

Dosed in slosh while they lap up high summer across the entire continent, wall to wall sunshine, heatwaves, humid muggy days ,thunderstorms, sitting outside late into the night, while we sit in our damp depressing s*** heap of a country.

God the misery in here at times is unreal,some posters only seem happy when they can report that there is bad/poor weather on the way and don't seem to be able to enjoy fine weather when we do get it.

We would all love a heatwave buts it's Ireland and we will never have a continental summer here. And all the wishful thinking won't change that. Enjoy each day as it comes and for god sakes don't be getting hung up on forecasts past 5 days

Yeah it’s so frustrating that the good weather never lasts more than a couple of days most of the time.

It’s the same in winter when a lot of us are looking for proper cold and snow. If it does come it only lasts a day or two and then back to Atlantic driven weather.

Something prolonged please!

By the way why does the reply to a quote function not work anymore.

That was a beautiful evening in Galway. Had a lovely snorkel, water was crystal clear.

Lovely calm clear night out, can see the bats busy flying about.

There's a nice display of noctilucent clouds out at the minute, brightest I've seen in a few years.

So cold.

looks beautiful, I gotta get out there

Lovely bright warmish morning. 15c N Kildare

Weather for the next week or so doesn;t look too promising. But still confident once we get over the next 10 days or so that things will start to turn for the better.

Will happily accept 4 good weeks of the remaining 9 this summer is we can get a settled spell of temps at 20c+

No mention in the forecasts at all which is strange but tomorrow looks a bit stormy for the west and northwest coasts, mean winds of 60km and gusting to 80km will be a shock to the system for many.

Its standard fare for these coastlines in winter but there's a cohort of people on the coast in summer who aren't used to it, campers, summer houses, boats etc. Lots of garden furniture will be displaced!
