Summer 2024 - General Discussion

Disgusting night in Cork, very unseasonal rattly wind and rain. Needed windows open but couldn't. Humid as hell this morning and misty/grotty. Now raining again.

A horribly grey, damp morning in Dub/Kildare with the inevitable strong breeze. Too humid to be comfortable in a rain jacket, too windy for an umbrella.

But it's starting to dry out and brighten up now, so maybe we'll have a nice evening.

21º and feeling warm in Dublin.

We're now almost half-way through August. And in the East at least almost every day has been above 20º. And tomorrow it's almost guaranteed to hit over 20º too. And on Thursday and Friday also. Dublin could end up with around 20 >20º days this month. I'd imagine that's way above average.

Had we been offered that last month we'd all have taken it with both hands.

A bit more sun would be nice. But it just goes to show that you don't need brilliant synoptic conditions to get OK weather in summer - even in Ireland.

In fairness after a pretty brutal June and July, I think we deserved what has been a relatively decent August. Yeah a week or two of wall to wall sunshine and temperatures of 25 degrees plus would be very nice, but beggars can't be choosers. It was looking like another cracker of a day in Dublin (Ringsend), but sadly it's gone very grey in the last hour, although very muggy.

Very nice afternoon in North Dublin again hovering between 21 and 22 degrees with blue skies and some cloud..very pleasant to walk around in if slightly humid

One of the nicest starts to the day of the entire summer this morning. Crystal clear blue sky, bright sunshine, and no wind.

It won't stay that way, but nice morning all the same

A beautiful morning of proper sunshine in Dub/Kildare and a lovely fresh coolness. And no wind. Perfect for now.

The sun never appeared here at all yesterday until 9pm at sunset. It was dry from lunch, but very overcast all day.
