Some really heavy downpours yesterday and today. I feel sorry for anyone holidaying in Ireland atm. Imagine camping in this weather.

OMG your not my mother? June July and August everytime it rains she says it must be awful for anyone on holiday and imagine anyone camping this weather. She normally stops sometime in September after its been pointed out several times that the schools are long back and the summer holidays are long over.

Looks like I'm going to have to leave painting the pebble dash on the house till next year... could end up with different coloured walls by the time October comes around with all this rain we are getting.

This is shaping up to be one of the wettest Augusts in years. That is really saying something, August was usually something of a washout here.

And yet really humid. Worst of both worlds.

Another awful day here, really has been a terrible month so far

Constant rain/heavy rain all morning here in north Louth. Miserable but brightening up a bit now... and is that the sun coming out!!!!

This has made it's way to North Wicklow, and I'm hoping it clears enough to get a glimpse of the Pleiades tonight

Lovely day here in midlands but the amount of rain that fell here during the night was unreal, thought it'd never stop. Very warm when sun comes out.

decent evening here after a very wet start to the day.

Lovely evening here too in NCD. Hope the rain keeps off now for the next few days.

Nice evening here in Enniscorthy - should have gone for a walk but here I am. Last few Swifts screaming about outside won't be long before they are heading south and the summer is gone for another year.

I never watch any of these meteorite events as I'm a big Sci-Fi fan - especially of "The Day of the Triffids" - and I'm not kidding.

Blowing a gale here in South Kerry. Still dry though. Hopefully the wind dies as the day goes on.

Sunny morning In NCD. Slight breeze. So far!

Edit spoke too soon, wind now starting to pick up.

nice sunny morning in wexford but very windy

Feckin' weather ... 27°C feels like 40°C Had got used to the persistent on/off rain and pleasantly low-20s temps with a light breeze, and I was getting plenty of hard-labour jobs done around the garden. All of a sudden we're back to high summer since yesterday, and it's impossible to work.

Doesn't stop the mexicans...

Almost 49 degrees centigrade in Sicily yesterday, the highest ever recorded temp in Europe! We should be thankful for small mercies!!!

[Del.Monte]

Beautiful morning here in the Sunny South East - Enniscorthy.

Kind of a possibility of tiny wee signs of hope for a bit of an improvement from the end of next week into latter part of August. I can be no more definite than that!

[Uncle Frank]

We will cling to any shred of hope that summer hasn't ended yet Isha. Just a little bit more sun please

[Uncle Frank]

Sweet it's a sunny morning

Hmmm. Well maybe it wasn't the weather, or the lack of a Mexican gene. Had a rough 48 hours from just before the time of that post onwards - aching shoulder muscles and a woozy head. Don't know if it was a delayed reaction to the 2nd vacc (8 days delayed), whether I picked up a dose of the Delta due to indiscriminate socialising at the weekend, or a combination of working above head height while dust, pollen and impending thunderstorms played games with my sinuses ...

In any case, normal service has been resumed and hard labour is back on the agenda - although I might go shopping this afternoon when the temps are forecast to tip into the thirties. Three days of that, then apparently we're going to lose 10° as strong winds carry it off to somewhere eastwards.

Rain over night here in NCD but stopped now, hopefully it will start brightening up a bit. Day for the wellies.
