    Some other totals (but in millimetres) from this rainstorm. Bray, Fassaroe, Co. Wicklow with 114.3mm on the 25th Newcastle, Co. Wicklow with 104.4mm on the 25th Dublin City with 87.4mm on the 25th Phoenix Park, Co. Dublin with 85.1mm on the 25th Trinity College, Co. Dublin with 83.8mm on the 25th Clongowes Wood College, Co. Kildare with 74.4mm on the 25th Roches Point, Co. Cork with 50.8mm on the 24th Birr Castle, Co. Offaly with 49.3mm on the 25th It would be the worst rainstorm in this part of the country until Charley in August 1986 which hit on the same date.

    You can see it in the graph I showed... It had an index of 218 which is better than average in spite of the very cold spring.

    Like this classic example I had on 31st July

    May 2022 was the epitome of that! Phoenix Park, Dublin had its warmest May on record with a maximum temp of only 20.9C. Records here began in 1855... Funny thing is, May 2023 would end up equalling it too and it was also very unremarkable. Max was even lower with only 20.5C.

    Very poor and pathetic really given how many had to suffer with the heat but no storm to end it. Ireland/Dublin was equally poor but I guess I at least seen some rumbles and lightning compared to most. One lucky guy in a hospital managed to capture a lightning strike hitting the Poolbeg Chimneys on his phone from this.

    There was also an infamous rainstorm on 25th August 1905 in the east of Ireland which was the exact same day as Charley in 1986 and both events impacted the same places very badly. 25th/26th August not great dates

    I think that's % of possible sun rather than % of avg. 81.8 hrs / 444 hrs (theoretical max possible August sun for 51N where Margate is) = 18%. Actual % of average sun probably somewhere in the 30s which is still absolutely atrocious mind Mean max: 15.5C (-4.0C below avg) Rain: 139.1mm (190%) Sunshine: 67.3 hours (44%) Phoenix Park, Dublin stats for it with reference to 1991-2020 averages. Clearly a banger of a summer month

    Cold weather can also make trees lose them all in one night! It's finely balanced as with a lot of things in life. The best years of recent times in Dublin were definitely 2013 and 2021. Both years shared similar evolutions of weather - cold springs, though of course overall 2021 wasn't nearly as cold as 2013, which delayed the onset of growth. Chlorophyll has a particular lifespan before being lost so I see this as a starter sign of maybe autumn colours will later be seen. The rainfalls of October 2013 and 2021 helped the leaves to stay in good condition with no worries of drought despite dry summer spells. Then cooler nights later in the autumns helped the chlorophyll to be destroyed more rapidly but nothing severe as to destroy it all instantly. Both autumns also tended to have a lack of strong winds, wasn't really affected by the Judes Day storm here in 2013. So as a result of autumns like these, when I see them not turning early and a late onset of spring, I tend to take it as a positive for a spectacular display of autumn colours by November. 2022 was an exception, that was horrific. I hardly seen any colours thanks to the lack of cold nights and persistent windy conditions through October and November. I guess the very early growth of spring also didn't help. Some of the colours here in 2021, no enhancements. Sure it's hardly New England but pretty damn good for here!
