Chucking it down again this am.

Number of rain days must be pushing records this Summer.

[BornFromTheVoid]

The last few days have been quite nice here. One or 2 heavy showers yesterday, but mostly bright and warm otherwise.

[mountain shadow]

More rain. It was meant to be dry today.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Beautiful day today and so was yesterday was in Tayto Park in Meath,warm, sunny crowds of people, getting burnt what summer should be

[BornFromTheVoid]

Agreed Pom, more blue skies the last few days than most of July. A decent temperature range here yesterday too, 6.2C up to 22.7C.

 

Currently 16.9C and partly cloudy skies. Looks like another good one.

First proper Summer's day here since the beginning of July. Even better is that there are floods in the SE of England!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

What a beautiful day,happy to take it when we get it, still nice outside too

[mountain shadow]

Marvellous couple of days which have happily coincided with a couple of days of work.

Unfortunately this looks like the end of Summer.

[Guest]

Beautiful couple of days, nice temperatures and skies.

PS. Sorry for the orange clouds. It was too bright for my camera to handle so I edited the brightness and contrast so you could atleast see them.

Today was one of the better days this summer. Plenty of sunshine with a max temp of 23.0c.

Hows its going folks. How are you all enjoying our wash out summer. It really is depressing! Interesting article published today by the Belfast Telegraph. Surely this couldn't happen?

What a wash out yesterday was, yeah seen that Ronan, I would say it is a bit of political brinkmanship. Although the meto have to pay for that new super computer somehow and maybe upped their costs to the BBC thinking they where a shoein to get, who knows!!

[ronan]

Yeah it hasn't been a good at all Pom. No doubt they will still be involved in many ways. Won't be long now until our focus shifts to the upcoming winter. Already plenty of speculation and to how it will pan out giving the strength of El Nino. I'm definitely hoping for a cold and snowy one.

I'm already impressed by the above average pressure towards Greenland.

Hopefully it will remain this way through the Winter.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I am hoping that we might get an Indian Summer before I can even think about winter

[BornFromTheVoid]

Some serious rain last night, heaviest and most persistent I've seen in months.

[sundog]

Yes the rain was very heavy last night ,judging by the sound on my attic velux window.

A bright morning so far here aftar all that rain last night and yesterday.

Well the Summer that wasn't is drawing to a close, what's our thoughts for Autumn folk's. I am hoping for dry and pleasantly warm days, we need to top up on some vitamin d before the days shorten!!!

[mountain shadow]

Looks like a good start to Autumn. High pressure close by. Mainly dry but cold by night.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I will take that Shadow, better that than jaffa cakesy days

[sundog]

Looks like not a bad start to the autumn,mostly dry and cool. I would like the autumn to be mostly like that overall but with a colder then normal atlantic perhaps we could get some big storms later on in the season. Something to keep an eye on.

The composite for this September, based on sea ice and solar trends, that I posted in the Autumn thread a few weeks back.

 

 

The latest models seem keen on a mid Atlantic high for the first week of the month. Of course, a powerful El Nino could ruin any comparisons with previous years.

Today sums up Summer.

Nice morning. Went to local Summer fair and have just been drenched.

Good bye and good riddance Summer 2015.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

It's been dry here all day so far although I could see a number of showers blowing through not to far down the country. Hear what you are saying Mountain, a summer that failed to deliver

[BIG LAD]

thank god this charade of a summer is over. roll on the dark evenings and the cold!
