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.

Warm start to the Summer 2016

The Summer of 2016 has started off in scorchio mode in Ireland as the Leaving Cert exams are just around the corner.
Temperatures in the midwest have been as high as 23c with a max of just 13c reported in poor old Malin Head.
Over the coming weeks warm weather dominates but there will be a tendency for some more wetter episodes to ensure that it is not a continuously warm picture.
Also bad news if you live in the North of Ireland because as the month of June progresses the High that has ensured warm and sunny conditions in the North tends to move South which may mean a return to drizzly conditions here in the coming weeks.
However elsewhere there is a possibility of some very warm weather at times this June with 20c likely to be breached regularly.
