    Last June was no more than just ok. The good weather was mid may to early June.

    It changed about 6th/7th and hasn't recovered since :(

    Sitting here on Balcony in Lanzarote 22 degrees with a lovely cooler breeze.

    Nearly two hours later the Spanish are still celebrating with all the car horns still beeping!

    Bring the sun back with you, this depressing weather is nearly sending me over the edge , I'm gonna go away but I don't have anyone to go with , and I'm so glad for Spain it will be pretty much more celebrating for about a week I'd say

    Grey slate and threatening rain. Hopefully the lovely sunny weather Dublin had all weekend continues today for my visit.

    not bad in Galway. It has potential to be ok.
    warm when the sun pops out from behind the clouds. Little wind makes it pleasant.

    You are right. June 2023 was absolutely lovely, almost throughout. Warmest June on record.

    Athenry, Co Galway and Shannon Airport, Co Clare experienced 27 consecutive days with maximum air temperatures > 20.0 °C, ending on Saturday 24 June.

    Motorbike camping in curracloe area of wexford over the w/e. Lovely morning to wake up pack up the tent and go for a swim in the sea. Plan was to take our time via the scenic routes back to dublin over the wicklow mountains. All going well and then caught a small cell of the heaviest rain I may have ever seen in my life with localised flash-flooding around the woodenbridge/rathdrum area. This was yesterday, Sunday 14th July about 3pm maybe. It got so dark and looked like it was possibly tornadic at one point. Wonder if anyone else saw that?

    Thanks. Great game with 2 very even teams. Could have gone either way. I felt the Galway and Donegal fans got on very well throughout.

    I'm in Spain too and what a wonderful night last night cheering on Spain in an open air venue on a typical sultry Mediterranean night. Real summer heat, a Spanish victory, fireworks and fiesta! Now that's what I call living and the celebrations went on long into the night here.😀

    Am savoring every second of the warmth and sunshine as unfortunately I've only a few days left.😔

    Dire day in Cork. Slate grey skies again and damp. What a horrendous "summer".

    The good news, the summer is about to turn warmer, closer to average maybe a degree or so above. The bad news is we trade the cooler conditions for wetter conditions so more in the way of rainfall for all of us for the second half of July, so the warmer temperatures won't mean much when combined with areas of low pressure.

    Another OK day in Dublin/Kildare. Dull, dry, 16C. Non-descript really, not a lovely day but not a bad day so far.

    Maybe I need my eyes checked but it’s dull grey in south Dublin and it’s kinda been this way for a good few days- we got some light rain yesterday evening also.
    It’s not exactly warm either- I’m in shorts though- as it’s July and I should be in shorts 😂

    It was the warmest June on record with above average sunshine everywhere.

    There was also below average rainfall in most places.

    If you thought last June was only just OK then you must have an extremely high and unrealistic expectation of what an Irish summer can be.

    Ireland is a weird country in that the warmest temperatures don’t seem to occur until 3-5pm, rather than the 12-2pm peak like everywhere else in the world. So you usually find yourself waiting around all day as the mornings are cold and wet, and the rain clears off around 4pm and the sun finally comes out but then sure the whole day is gone. That’s why this nonsense those media outlets like to sprout about “Ireland being hotter than Barcelona this weekend” are a load of bullshit. We have nowhere near the same daily temperature and sunshine levels as anywhere south of us in Europe.

    It's only the equator where max temps are close to midday.

    In the vast majority of countries the daily peak is reached at around 3 or 4pm. Ireland isn't weird or unusual in this regard. And indeed in Spain, where you could argue they're on the wrong timezone, max temps can be closer to 5pm some days.
