    The poppies out rather late in Kildare it seems this year. Sunset yesterday evening near Straffan. Felt fresh especially after Monday's humid fest (which I wouldn't describe as med like) but was calm enough to walk around without a hoodie.

    Horrible out. Dark and gloomy and windy. Some drizzle at 8am. Nothing much of that since at least but just a miserable feel of the day.

    In Dingle for the day. Raining since morning. Not what I expected based on Met Eireann's forecast. Bright spells and passing showers I think they said, clearing in the afternoon. Instead it's a wet day.

    A very warm and humid weekend to come with temperatures up to 24C on both Saturday and Sunday but there will be rain or showers with this too at times so not settled warmth.

    Today ended up a very nice day in Meath with plenty of sunshine, only problem really was the wind. Tomorrow looks a bit like a repeat of Monday but the weekend hopefully won't be too bad, at least it will be warm.

    Where are you getting these numbers from? I can only see this happening (if at all) in the far south? To me, Saturday is looking like a party cloudy and mostly dry day with maxes around 19 to 22c with "perhaps" a 23/24c down towards Cork only.

    Sunday is looking like becoming wet pretty quickly with maxes of 17 to 21c depending on where you are in the country. Expecting Sunday to be mostly cloudy / overcast.

    Current gfs Saturday 5pm. Isolated 22c in the south. 14c for half of Donegal.

    image.gif

    Sunday horrific temps , 10/11c for most of the north and west . 18c SW

    Hopefully the next run improves. Out soon

    ECM has most of the country 20c+ plus for Sunday. Big difference between the two.

    You need to add +1 or +2c to those GFS temps on average for ground level max temps depending on cloud amounts. Mostly sunny = +2c. Party cloudy = +1c. Overcast = temp shown or below

    A balmy 27C at midnight here in the Med I'm sure you'll be glad to hear!

    Lovely evening with cloudless skies and not even a hint of a breeze, if I'm not wrong I think this would be a red warning for high temperature at home

    Sunday is a horror show out west on the latest GFS. Significant rainfall

    Below accumlated rainfall from now until 8am Sunday morning. Not much

    24 hours later. Red level rainfall . 90mm in 24 hours in west Galway.

    A lot of time between now and then so plenty can change. One to keep an eye on all the same.

    Temp at 2pm Sunday. Scorching 9c

    yesterdays UKMO was decent enough looking to throw us a lifeline but charts today as bad as ever, taking a break now until the last week of the month when no doubt things will pick up.

    Damp, Grey, pretty miserable in fact but has become the norm.

    In a funny kind of way, our summers are the reason we all get so excited for our holidays abroad. That first step off the plane and the heat hitting you straight away. The continental smell in the air. Bliss

    latest gfs holds the heaviest of the rain just of the west coast with better temperatures countrywide, similar to the ECM

    Classic atmospheric river setup. A situation far too commonplace in modern Augusts, belongs in October/November.

    I wonder when will these hurricanes start in frequency. It's meant to be an active year so hopefully they might churn up the atmosphere and throw up the long awaited anticlyonic weather over us that we're all craving . I know it can also lead to moisture laden tail end systems giving us monsoon conditions as well. It's just a waiting game as the models have struggled now for the past year.

    Second half of August is looking chilly and unsettled, temperatures no better than 12 or 13C at times if it verifies. GFS writes off the rest of August. I cannot wait to finally get some warmth and sunshine from the 28th of August. Knowing my luck the first week of September here in Ireland will probably be very warm and sunny with a big improvement in the weather while I'm away and all the kids are back in school. This seems to happen almost every September after a lousy August.

    The majority of the summer forecasts for summer 2024 didn't verify. Many were predicting June to be the most unsettled month with an improving drying and warming situation from July with August being the warmest and most settled month, a back loaded Summer. As it turns out we've had June and July on the dry side but unsettled throughout with low rainfall totals and cool temperatures the majority of the time. August is trending unsettled and wet and we are potentially looking at another prolonged cool spell for the second half of August after we get the warm weekend out of the way. Next summer has to be better.
