Summer 2024 - General Discussion

My favourite weather day was Friday 26th November 2010 just after 10 pm I know because i had just watched I'm a celebrity get me out of here , we had thundersnow in rathfarnham (the whole of Dublin) got snow and thunder for a solid 10 hours was my best weather experience ever 😀 it was just lightning but the thunder was confined to the coast ,unfortunately I wasn't alive in July 85 but I've heard it was unreal

Nice evening in Dublin...even managed a bbq tonight...very calm. Looks like it was a nice evening for the concerts as well

Summer 1995 was amazing. Can just remember swimming in the Shannon day after day. It was warm from early morning to late in the evening it seemed. 16 years of age and not a care in the world.

The routine was to meet up with friends at the river each afternoon. In the evening we would then have training to go to and then back for another dip in the river. No phones obviously so it was total freedom. Tell the mother what time to expect me home and that was it.

When is this supposed to happen here, its already been blustery yesterday, 2nd storm system has been named Beryl soon going to be a hurricane 🌀

It was actually a pleasant evening in the end, some sunny breaks and didn’t feel any chill until 8:30 and even then, I didn’t need to put my jumper on.

Actually might be 16c for both the weekend days in Sligo with most of showers by night today and by evening tomorrow so at least might get to go outside. Also rainfall stays under 100mm for the 2nd month even though its been freezing as its 74mm now and there's no way there will be 26mm from now until July 1st.

Patience ye moaners! Plan your day around the fact that the lovely weather is coming later (from noon in Galway anyway, use the app).

Pouring rain in dublin all morning, flooded roads all over the place

it feels like for the last 3 years that end of June and first of half of July are basically a write off for good weather. You get all your good weather in late may/ first half of June, and then some spells of sunshine in late July. Next year I’ll be saving for a 3 week sunshine holiday in the summer, 10 days isn’t enough.

The hedges and bushes outside have taken over the garden. Like a rain forest. If only I had some Macaws. Maybe it won't be long ...

Yes it's miserable in the Dublin/Kildare border area. And it looks to be clearing a lot more slowly than expected. Yesterday various forecasts had it clearing around lunch, now it looks closer to 5pm.My lawn really does need it though.

Just starting to clear here Dublin North City .

My grass really needed a drop so not complaining although hope it isn't too bad for the rest of the week ...a number of outdoor concerts at Trinity booked and looking forward to them so please no more 🙏

It had reduced to periods of light drizzle in the past hour or so in Wicklow but it's started coming down heavy again in the past 15 minutes. The garden was crying out for it though, there'll be a fair explosion of growth now after today. Actually cut my lawn yesterday for only the second time since the end of May.

Shocker of a day continuous rain in city centre must be close to worst June on record
