We did?
Where????
Were they taking readings in Dublin Airport on the vast expanse of black tarmac when jet planes were taking off????

Maybe in an, Oven / Micro-Wave !

Microwaves very good, Haarp and others ionispheric heaters manipulating their thing.

 

[Mad as Fish]

Apparently we just had the warmest May in Ireland!

Ireland has hottest May on record as world sees 12th consecutive month with warmest average

In Ireland, Met Éireann recorded an average temperature of 13.08 degrees Celsius in May 2024.

No frosts, but no sun either, I call bollx on that one.

And just when did these records begin?

 

[Mad as Fish]

That's real climate change as seen on this thread - 8 months of winter, inject 3 weeks of summer in May and then - back to dim, wet, cool weather for June, perhaps a few warm days along the way and then a cloudy dim washout for July August again before the coming winter starts again in mid September or October if you're lucky.

You can probably take the weather pattern for any year and construct an argument for some sort of catastrophic change in the climate.

The climate changes, that's what it does, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Certainly try!, if/when there's local evidence etc etc . . . .

Yeah but, we're not equipt, they are - and try to do something which . . . . Is observable and causes effect.

My recent posts are as a marker to see how the summer progresses/turns out . . .
Maybe we'll get a warm dry July/August, sure why not?

I'm still having problems with the idea that mankind is influencing the climate, local effects on weather, yes, but the climate is a vastly more complex system and one that we only flatter ourselves in thinking we can have any great effect on.

Buddy Love has Teresa Mannion out there in the west freaking him out with her weather reports.

Its no wonder he thinks the Sky's about to fall in.

But hey Myles! Are you enjoying the lovely June weather again today
I've been feeding the shivering sparrows at the back door as they desperately beg/forage for something, anything to eat.
Two weeks till mid-summer (( Ice cream, suntan lotion, beach towels by the sea side), The day after that, it's a return to winter)

But who knows?? Perhaps there'll be a hot week in June & July and August could be a scorcher - What more can we ask for??

I think its time you went 'in to town' Love.

 

[Professor]

What good is that?
Had a great time floating around in the crashing waves sea surf today instead.
T'was a sprayed sky but managed to get a sunny spot for a few hours in early evening.
Looking like it'll be a dim dark cool day again tomorrow.

What'll you do?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

I'll probably end up in the pub Buddy.

Kettles of Rolestown. Couple of miles from the County Meath line.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Lady Willow - you of the green fingers (and Cuban cigars) - why won't my Butterfly bush flower?

I've had the son of a bitch five years and I think it only gave one purple flower for about a fortnight during that time.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Thank you M'Lady

Here's to plenty of in July!

 

[Mad as Fish]

Holy God! They are destroying the food sources. So we have to eat their garbage.
They have recently told us the El Nino is officially over and we are now in the La Nina part of ENSO. La Nina sends very cold winters to the Northern hemisphere. Very convenient for them.
This year truly everything is messed up. Even the foliage in some of my trees is only half out. Lay in your supplies early - this winter is going to be a tough one

We do tend to focus on what is happening in the Northern Hemisphere while ignoring the other side of the equator. Brazil, for instance, is experiencing an excellent soya bean and coffee harvest while the wheat harvest is the third highest recorded.

Wheat yield in Brazil 2024| Statista

The crop yield of wheat in Brazil was forecasted to amount to **** metric tons per hectare in crop year 2023/2024, up from *** tons per hectare in the previous year.

Being Irish, we must be experts on the weather.

We enjoy talking in regard to our observations.

* Cén chaoi a bhfuil an aimsir inniu?

How is the weather today?

* Dim, fionnuar agus scamallach

Cool, dim and cloudy.

The bad news is that it's Mid Summer and there's loads of heavy rain and continuing canopy dimming for the next few days.
Just had to keep track of it today.

Go raibh maith agat.

It's a wet morning, seems to be rain about

 

[Jay Homer Simpson]

Does anyone here have any fond or otherwise memories of hot Summers from years past? Summer 1976? 1983? 1989? 1995? 2003 ?

1995 was a belter for sure , but 2013 Ireland had no rain and high temperature for 28 days straight

 

[Jay Homer Simpson]

In terms of bad washout Summers, 2008 was famously terrible wet iirc

 

[Professor]

Terrible washout for the first half of 2017 - Every day the poor birds would arrive drenched and desperate through the torrents at the bird feeder, everything dripping wet, shrubs, feeder and birds - Most Everyday! I felt so sorry for them because of the unusual dark & wet weather.

 

[Jay Homer Simpson]

Famously it was that summer 2013 heatwave and dry spell that nailed yerman Graham Dwyer

 

[Professor]

A new feature of spring and early summer became frequent cold, dim, wet springs carrying on into summer.
I remember this from watching the arrival of bees into the garden and how they'd search around without finding any blooms, whereas in years previous one could remember a buzzing garden because of the bee activity around the abundant flowers.

What I saw was bees arriving to a desolate garden and constantly being drawn to an orange or yellow plastic label, sometimes they'd come into the kitchen begging - All new behaviour.

I bought artificial sunflowers and coated them with thick Demerara sugar syrup and watched the garden become a bee diner for both bumble & honey bees.

It's worth mentioning that my observations on flower scarcity extended into the parks and lands all over Dublin.
No blooms and desperate bees out foraging on nothing in between the constant deluge's.

Of course now, we just don't see bees around at all apart from a few lonely stragglers.

Do you remember watching the news & weather? The presenters would regularly announce to us that we should apply and wear Sun Blocking lotion/cream, which seemed like a nonsense but then again we used to also see 'Sun Burn' - Back in the day.

I haven't heard the word SunBlock used since . . . . Hmmmmmmm . . .

Rain on the motorway today was as heavy as I think I've ever driven through, people pulling up on the hard shoulder even as visibility was pretty much to the end of the bonnet and no further at one point.

Got back home and a friend checked in from Serbia - 40deg C.....

Is that why you decided to move back to Sligo Buddy?

No.
Where did you travel to, how was the weather?

Anyway, The weather is still abnormally c**p for midsummer, What a dreadful cool wet overcast and dim morning we're having again (like most of them in the last month) but what's more there's plenty of the samr on the way for the rest of the week.
Here on the west cost it's clearly forecast to be a dim ole canopied day save for a clear bright rectangular slot making landfall from the Atlantic for a couple of hours in late evening.
It is what it is, but the question is?

Can we in Ireland, look forward to good weather like we had in early may, and can we expect any form of scorcher before the evenings start to draw in?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Speak for yourself Buddy. The last week has been lovely here on the east coast.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

It's very overcast here this morning , hard to know what that day would do

Got a good dose of sunburn down in Waterford on Sunday.

Certainly, I've a grand tan too but you won't be getting much of that in the next week?

 

[Professor]

Yeah but, not as good as it should be, perhaps not much rain but but still getting loads of cloud canopy (dimming) most days, eh??

 

[Professor]

So, Sligo now has a blue sky and summer has returned since 17:00, the cloud has cleared but 3 hours earlier than forecast.
Looking at the webcams . . . the east coast is still canopied, bright but not blue - Yiz have to wait another 1/2 hour yet, for the scorch!
