Ireland Regional Weather Discussion

Quite foggy here too last night and early this morning,fog gone now but still rather cloudy. Recorded a high of 23.1c yesterday ,my highest of the yr so far.

[mountain shadow]

What a crackin' Summer's day. Flip me.

[Frosty hollows]

Kicking off over there again I see on blitzortung

[Neiller22]

It is indeed frosty. Been quite a disturbed day and still going! 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Much better day today compared to yesterdays deluge! 

[Longtimelurker]

Both Met office and Irish met mention light rain with small amounts this evening. Absolutely bucketing here,street flooded red and pink echoes on the met office radar. How do they get it so wrong?

[sundog]

Already 20c here,should be the hottest day so far this yr here.

[sundog]

Easily my warmest day of the yr today,hardly a cloud in the sky today,max temp 25.5c

[mountain shadow]

What a fantastic last 5 or 6 days this has been, just what Summer should be. Unfortunately, we look like paying the price with a very unsettled and much cooler period coming up from Thursday onwards, hopefully it won't last to long into July.

[sundog]

indeed,most of the first half of july can probably be written off for those who like this type of weather.

roll on mid jjuly

Recorded my warmest day since summer 2006 today, max temp of 27.9c, very impressive considering there was a reasonable amount of cloud about today.

[mountain shadow]

Since that great spell mid June it has been endless cloud and dullness and bar the odd day there is no end in sight.

[Longtimelurker]

It's been very wet across the North West. Especially Autumnal since Friday, those torrential downpours that come and go every ten minutes, reminds me of a mobile period in Autumn. Funny thing is I don't even mind lol

Would be nice to have a long settled spell but the jet stream way too far south for that.

Definitely not the worst summer I can remember - plently of storms and fairly warm with sunshine most days much better than some years.

[Guest]

Really lit up tonight, non stop thunder and lightning for more than what five hours. Quite heavy rain persistent too for the entirety of the time, no let ups. Plants are flooded.

Rained fairly heavy - torrential (depending on what mood it took) since half 4 ,Coleraine area.  Lively day! Been a while since it lasted as long.

That was the biggest storm we have seen in Derry in years. A lot of the lower lying areas including the city center is under water. Non stop torrential rain, thunder and lightning from mid afternoon and has only let up now. 

[gary1365]

Not too much lightening here but plenty of thunder and very heavy rain. I saw pictures and videos of the flooding in Derry on Facebook. 

[gary1365]

Still lighting up here to the north.

[Weegaz]

I would say our windiest day for quite a while, nothing compared to across the pond.....it's been quite interesting following the thread on it plus videos on Facebook and twitter.

i saw someone note that the current hurricane formation was last seen in 2010.....a sign of things to come for us come December?????   

[jules216]

Raining now 10 days in a row,starts nice until about 1pm and then heavy showers until 7pm,perhaps only 3 days of no rain since 18th July, thanks god my last summer here!

Not lookin to good for Monday as the island is set to take a direct hit from hurricane Ophelia.

[ronan]

It is looking pretty nasty Somo! First major storm of the season but it is quite a bit out yet so I would say there could be a few changes yet as it is still developing! Couple of hundred miles East and it could be very nasty indeed. No sign of any cold yet but in my opinion I wouldn't want it so early in the season.

[Juuyoku]

Hey folks. Hope everyone is keeping well :D. I'm keeping a close eye on Ophelia. Interesting times.
