Dry so far no sign of rain and the storms didn't happen.

Nice belt of thunder there. I hope the skies open!

[quodec]

And still no rain in this neck of the woods (south of Dundalk), some 24 hours after a forecast of showers/thunderstorms was due to arrive!! Just shows you how variable a forecast prediction can be!

[quodec]

Same general area and it has been threatening to rain for a few hours but still nothing. The forecast suggests decent rain in the next couple of hours. The garden really needs it.

Rain at last!

Nice bit of rain falling now. Will do everything good.

Flooding reported in Dublin & Belfast

Long needed rain showers last couple of days here, ground really needed it.
Currently 15.7C inf fair conditions in south Dublin.

yea fresh here in Meath today. Notable chill this morning. First time I put on a jacket leaving for work. The weekend looks nice enough though...

12C here in the South East, Heavy rain, all the windows closed, hoodie back on.

[Uncle Frank]

It almost felt like winter at times lately with the cold and wet.

Was a good bit of rain here in NCD this morning, lightened if a bit now.

12C here in the South East, Heavy rain, all the windows closed, hoodie back on.

Pretty much ditto here, but still wearing shorts. I wont give up on summer that easy!

I live in Wexford and apart from the seven or eight days over the last two weeks 12deg has been pretty much the norm this year, in fact the summer temperatures have differed little from winter temperatures over the last couple of years.
Watching the weather forecasts it seems that the jet stream spends a lot of time to the south of Ireland now and the Atlantic depressions which would normally track up the west coast and settle between Iceland and Scotland are frequently travelling across or to the south of Ireland now and this turns the sunny South East into the soggy South East.
If this is what global warming means I'm getting rid of her car tomorrow.

Bit of a nip in the air this evening here in NCD, feels like Autumn is starting to wake up from it's slumber..

[Uncle Frank]

Some more sun would be nice. Not splitting the stones like before but enough to chase off the grey, cold and damp.

[quodec]

Strange day here in Louth. Cloudy and cool with a little drizzle. Cool enough to turn the heating on for an hour, I kid you not! Yeah, I know its the first week of August ... and two weeks ago we were being slowly baked.

[notfromhere]

Thursday is looking like a washout.

[quodec]

Lots of thunderstorms tomorrow (Thursday) countrywide per Met Eireann. Flooding and hail possible/probable! Bring an umbrella/raincoat folks!

[notfromhere]

What a horrible morning.

[kadman]

I would say there are some who have a thing a bout thunderstorms and lightening that would be delighted.
Have to say fork lightning is an impressive thing to watch...from indoors

[windows7]

What a horrible morning.

Indeed, cloudy and wet all day here. i hope we get some nice weather soon

[Frank]

Some rain on the way home this evening but a great light show in the distance. The temp display on the car dropped 6° in about 5 minutes too.

[Uncle Frank]

Our weather is nothing if not balanced. We had 2 weeks of sun now we are getting 2 weeks of rain.

[windows7]

garbage day out there, extremely humid and showery.

[windows7]

another awful day out there, cloudy, cool and windy. hopefully we'll get the nice week around early september that we get most years.
