Summer Weather Forecast 2016

Ireland basked in a heatwave for one day on July 19th 2016. Temperatures soared past 30.4c in Mount Dillon in County Roscommon. County Sligo got up to 29c. Later that night there was a lot of thunderstorms with not much rain. The warm air was met by cooler fresher air from the Atlantic causing some explosions or sparks in the sky.

The weather for the rest of the Summer looks likely to continue in the vein of recent months with the odd warm day or short warm spell, however globally there is a La Nina event about to start which will result in cooler weather and this is something we will have to keep an eye on in our Winter Forecast.
