    Spring is now over with so time to move on and focus on the summer short range forcasts.

    A ridge of high pressure is moving in from the west to deliver a mostly dry and settled weekend. Temperatures will be close to average to a little above and it should feel relatively pleasant.

    High pressure begins to move away from Bank Holiday Monday with a cool north-westerly airflow becoming established through next week.

    Next week looks a bit of a battleground between the colder push from the north-west and the high pressure just to our south.

    Overall next week will be colder than average with temperatures possibly a degree or two below normal.

    A mostly dry week to come with many parts of the country only getting trace amounts of rainfall, however the north-west and Donegal in particular may experience showers at times leading to low rainfall totals there.

    Looking at the models, Sunday could be a notably cool day away from the far south, especially in the north/northwest. The GFS has maxima of 9-11°C while the EC/GEM/UKMO are more like 10-12°C. It's still unclear how far south the notable cold will get but it appears that the northern half will cop it. I tried to attach the charts but it doesn't seem to be working.

    Unfortunately the attaching charts/photos feature on boards is completely broken right now.

    Warm temperatures over the next few days with little rainfall.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,974 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Showers about today ( maybe a few isolated sparks throughout the afternoon ) and more showers in parts tomorrow , better Monday until later when rain spreads over the country into Tuesday as a LP meanders over or close to us and improving Weds, less rain after that it would seem and improving temperatures.

    The raw output on the Met forecast for Friday afternoon is suggesting a fairly warm afternoon in many parts, with Meath being the most pleasant.

    We are now approaching the closing stages of summer and this has been a mostly cool, cloudy and drizzely summer up to this point. However the following week will see temperatures where they should be or slightly above so the coming 6 day period will see the warmest temperatures overall since summer began. There is no heatwave or plumes on the horizon but temperatures should reach 19 to 22C most days over the coming week with a few places maybe getting to 23 or 24C. In a summer that's been mostly mid teens this will be most welcome so make the most of the comfortable temperatures. Not much rainfall either over the coming 5 days so lots of opportunities for being outside gardening, walking or sitting outside in the garden having a lunch.

    There's still over an entire month (a third) of summer to go. And September often sees us get the best weather. It's still bright until 9.30 in the evening. I'd hardly say we're in the 'closing stages' of summer.

    We're still pretty much at the height of summer. And everyone should try enjoy it rather than always be looking ahead to the end of things.

    nothing wrong with being optimistic but let’s face it, it’s a long way back from this, we’re stuck in this for the next few weeks. Not the end of the world though, we’ve had only two good Augusts this century so we’re well used to this crap .. thank god for Ryanair!


    … from bad to worse

    what’s going on there Elmer and what’s the time period thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,136 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    Time period? I think we can write off August unfortunately, if anyone can find a fine and warm August that followed a cool dull July from past records/archives I would like to know but I’m not aware of any?



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,193 ✭✭✭pad199207


    If it’s any consolation there Thunderstorms across the Algarve tonight



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,136 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    there’s no hope now,

    Models showing high rainfall totals in the W especially over mountains, could get over 50mm in 24 hrs in parts.

    Windy in coastal areas and breezy to blustery overland.

    For comparison to get an average.

    Interesting to see the lower temperatures under the rainband on Monday whilst the East gets warm up to around 23C and warming up behind the front from the West after it passes .



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,974 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Some very big rainfall totals up to Monday morning.
