 I love reading this thread and cant believe for once Ireland is having the most incredible spell of good weather. It kind of kicked off middle of may and we have had abundant sunshine during the last 3 weeks with temperatures hovering between 20 - 26 degrees most days,highest readings in the west where I was lucky enough to be on a camper van holiday from the 27th may through to the 3rd of June and spent most if not nearly all of my time in counties  Roscommon , Sligo, mayo, Clare and Galway. there was at least 12-15 hours of sunshine on at least 3 days and 8 -10 hours on other days with temperatures always in the low 20s. Since I have come home to Dublin the last 7 days there have been 81 hours of bright sunshine (196%), zero rainfall and a mean temperature of 13.4 degrees Celsius .On the plus side wind speed averaged 7 mph for the week .This is the most prolonged spell of good weather I can recall since 2006 and already the lawns Dublin are a parched brown. Even more impressive is the town of Shannon  Co Clare in the west which currently has a 2 week mean temperature of 18.6 Celsius .Amazing start to the summer so far in the emerald isle.ON another note and would love to hear from somebody who lives in and around Loftus (samos) and why it always holds the coldest day max temp this time of year. Anyways the sun continues to shine in Dublin until at least Thursday so happy days still continue..

Oh those lovely memories of the Beast from the East,so much better than today's humid muck. At least only 10 days to go before the shortening of the days begins,just got to ride out these next 2 months then Autumn approaches,can't wait

Ive got to say the outlook looks very nice indeed with a bit of everything, and certainly not the clickbait 'June Monsoon' headline from a few days ago. Some decent rain forecast to water the garden and a lot of dry and quite warm weather for us easterners. This summer is shaping up nicely!

That's the first milestone, yeah. Counting down the days until I'm no longer woken at 3 am by birds.

You've had a "get out of summer free card" over the last month. Should count yourself lucky.

West Wales is racing ahead with sunshine at 100hours whereas some parts of the east have had a third of the value to the 10th

Those easterners have had it good over the last few weeks I'd say.

I had to smile at that comment, you should spend a week in this part of the world in early summer. Even your good self might get a touch fed up of what we get while western areas see something yellow in the aky. This morning was the first time with a full sunrise, indeed any sunrise for just over a week. It does get tedious believe me.

You'd think so, but no. Getting comfortable conditions this time of year with high pressure is incredibly difficult. I'd take months of grey skies and rain rather than suffer through a heatwave any day of the week.

Take next monday for example; the azores high shows its face for the first time and the models are already taking the mick.

The unsettled spell looks short lived and the ECM brings in the Azores high next week. Lovely stuff.

Could be a lot worse for you, outlook pretty average.

It would appear, on balance, the chances of a below average summer are now increasing rapidly! Given the background signals & analogues, it might be that, contrary to recent suggestions, summer 2018 will be notable for the lack of hot spells. I do hope Mr Pennell will be sharing his thoughts for July & August. His input, for me at least, is invaluable.

Certain people like winding others up. Don’t bite the bait.

Incorrect. The weather company modelled May well; you are just swinging...

Yes. When someone has a different viewpoint, they're on the wind up. Thanks for your contribution. I should say, summer this year will be warm, sunny and delightful - as that would suit you. Too bad, for you, I live in the real world.
