    Had a lot of rain yesterday evening and overnight in Oranmore, Galway. Now a misty, muggy start to the day.

    Weather has been ok the last couple of weeks, winds have died down a little and it's been warm if not a bit too humid for me. But I long for some blue skies. We had our first BBQ of the year on Saturday under warm grey skies.

    Two years today we had 850hPa temperatures that many of us can't even reach as surface daytime temps this month. At least 25 stations across the island including Northern Ireland achieved 30C or greater including 33.0C at Phoenix Park and 32.4C at Athy.

    Darker still at almost midday

    Just back from picking up a few bits in Aldi and was like a scene from Jackos, Thriller, video with the Glum old faces bashing their trolleys in to all and sundry

    Dear god, in the middle of the worst Summer in years, and you're missing rain 😮 I just read M.T Cranium's forecast for August " Early August at this long range appears to go back to wet and windy conditions with well-developed frontal systems approaching from the southwest", so at this stage I will beg, steal or borrow to get away from this incredibly depressing so called Summer.

    I feared that people would lose their minds here when the dry clouds starting producing rain 🙂 I did warn ye to make the most of the dry first half of July. Fair bit of rain overnight, hoping for a dry evening. This is actually a superb time for fishing too - rain after a long dry spell brings oxygen back into the water and the fish become active again. River levels and lake levels are extremely low at the moment.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    All id like to do is maybe sit out of an evening in the garden without it being dark cold and windy. Or on the commute to work not be wearing the same clothes that I wear all winter or to go to a sports fixture and not along with everyone else there be shivering in the wind and struggling to follow the flight of the ball in the grey slate cloud and gloom . The first half of July offered no opportunity to that any of that.

    A wet dank day here in Meath, my holidays in Spain end of August just can't come soon enough as we are about to enter a much wetter portion of summer than what we've had so far.

    Nobody said we were getting loads of rain, it actually has been dry enough compared to last July where it rained nearly every day. However for the majority of May & June bar the odd day here and there it was quite cold. July has been a lot warmer, but just generally grey and overcast most of the time. So if you define your Summer by warm sunny days, then yeah it's been pretty grim unfortunately.

    Persistent light rain in Celbridge - more than I had expected. Dull, warm, horribly humid. Very unpleasant.

    There's been very little rain in Trim all morning. Ground is dry. It's very breezy and cloudy but thankfully the humidity is quite high so it feels more pleasant than the suppressed temperatures would feel otherwise.

    If I get out for a walk in the next few hours (unlikely), I may be able to walk with the jacket unzipped and might get extra lucky and be comfortable enough to take it off and carry it over my arm…….Good jesus, what have we become when the thoughts of being able to remove a winter whilst out for a walk in mid-July is seen as some sort of great positive!?!?!?!?!?
