@Emmet Dillane: not so sunny there last weekend-but it was shining in Galway.
@TheBluffmaster2: HaHa Ha Ha, very good
@Emmet Dillane: just a few showers in Cork over the weekend according to Accuweather. I never listen to Met Eireann. It should be privatised.
@TheBluffmaster2:
I’m a Carlow man so admit to knowing nothing about the art of hurling but having spent some time in the San Francisco of Ireland I have a lot of time for Galwegians.
I love rain. Bring it on. August was far too dry, can’t wait for a period of decent prolonged rain to wash the dust away. Hopefully we will get a really wet Autume, badly wanted!
@Con Murphy:
Don’t speak for me on that !
@Con Murphy: you don’t work outside do you con, probably tucked up in some office somewhere with heating ,you ain’t sitting in a van in the rain thinking how the f##k I’m gonna get money this week!!
@Con Murphy: Far too much negativity Con :-).
@Con Murphy: August too dry??? It never stopped raining here in the Northwest. We only had 3 days without rain here.
Where is the Indian summer we usually get in September? The weather is ridiculous! I’m emigrating to the Canary Islands.
@Tony O Neill: it’s too hot here. 30 in the shade
Crap Summer, and we haven’t even got our usual Indian Summer in September, not to mention it seems to be getting dark around 7:30 these days.
@Aging Lothario: everyone seems to have forgotten that near 30 degree spell in June that was bliss, I would say this summer is a typical one of rain and sun all things considered, not an above average washout.
@Paul Cunningham: That 30 degree spell was on the East coast. While you guys were enjoying your barbeques, here in the northwest it was very mixed with temperatures topping out at about 21 and plenty of showers in between. Then August came and the already wet land became thoroughly soaked as we only had three days without rain that month.
Every Friday the journal predicts Armageddon. I then look up the forecast and see a few showers
@Cathal: every Friday?
It’s raining so hard I’m Donegal its even raining between the showers.
And here I am basking in warm sunshine
Lovely
It’s THE weekend forecast (sorry)
have your say
