chesilbeach Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 A good day today, not too hot, mostly sunny although a bit cloudy at times too. A nice breeze for walking Quote
shirley Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Well after a weekend of unsettled weather, one minute raining the next cloudy and overcast, the sun didn't get through at all. Monday morning back at work and yes the sun has come out. Quote
Nollaig Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Very warm and sunny here. Up to 25 degrees today, and 27 tomorrow. Not sure what the temperature was yesterday but I couldn't stand even sitting in it (having breakfast) for more than 15-20 minutes. Still quite warm/humid at night too. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) It was pretty unsettled in my area over the weekend too - dull on Saturday, with a couple of brief showers, and yesterday was very muggy, also with a couple of showers, and one brief downpour around 1900, but not that nice overall. Today is warm and sunny so far (as Shirley says, typical when we're back at work!) Edited July 17, 2017 by Madeleine Quote
Madeleine Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 We finally got the storm last night - lightning flashed around for ages, almost continuously, for quite a long time - I stood watching it out of the window for about 20 minutes, it was behind the clouds most of the time and looked amazing, although there was no rain and the thunder was a long way off, just a faint rumbling - eventually it woke me up around 4.15, with torrential rain and thunder overhead. Very muggy now and looking threatening again. Quote
shirley Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Well we didn't get the storms that were forecast but we did get the rain, not as much as some parts through. Still very muggy and miserable out. Quote
Onion Budgie Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Yes, what a cracker of a storm. It woke me up at around 5.30am. I was too bleary to peer out of the window at it, but I heard the hoo-hah and all the rain that went with it. Since then, it's been sunshine all day, but rather humid. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Dull and humid here, felt a few spots of rain at lunchtime but so far it's stayed dry. Quote
Raven Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Had a spot of lightning this morning... This was around 1am, it finally started to quieten down around 2. Bit tired now... Quote
Athena Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Wow Raven, that is an awesome picture. We were supposed to get thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, evening and night, but I haven't noticed much. I was quite tired yesterday evening due to adjusting to my new medication, so perhaps I slept deeper than normally or something. Yesterday afternoon it rained a little bit, but that was it. I don't know if there was a thunderstorm last night, maybe my boyfriend heard something, I could ask him later. More thunderstorms are predicted for today, It's looking pretty dark now, so maybe there'll be rain later. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 We had rain again last night, and a bit this morning, but no more storms, although it's still looking pretty threatening and is quite muggy again. Quote
Nollaig Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 That's an incredible photo, Raven! We didn't have any thunder/lighting that I'm aware of, but we never get extreme weather in Cork (except heat, by Irish standards!) We never get thunder storms and we never get snow. We just get heavy rain and hailstone. Today is cool and rainy, as it has been for the past two days. I was boiling on Mon/Tues (literally had sweat dripping down my face whilst doing nothing more than sitting at my desk on the computer) so I'm extremely grateful for this respite. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 We rarely get storms like that either, just as well probably! Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 A mix of lovely sunny spells and then torrential rain storms! I went out this morning, and it was dry, then it poured down while I was out, and the drive home through some flooded country lanes, so slow speeds and trying to try around huge puddles where possible was the order of the day. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Same here - yesterday morning was lovely...until about noon when it started raining and didn't really stop all day. Today was threatening to rain, and it finally started about 15 minutes ago. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 We've had a rumble of thunder but it hasn't started raining again... yet! Quote
Madeleine Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 We had a few distant rumbles but no proper storm. Rained overnight and drizzly now, and very grey (and quite chilly too!). Quote
shirley Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Its not been too good today, no sunshine to speak of and it cannot have been too warm because I did not have to have my fan on. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 We actually had our heating on last night as it got so chilly. Sun shining at the moment but still quite cloudy. Wasn't that warm when I left this morning. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 It's a scorcher today. Bright and sunny and very hot. Quote
Madeleine Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Was quite warm at lunchtime but wouldn't call it a scorcher! Better than the last few days though. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 5 minutes ago, Madeleine said: Was quite warm at lunchtime but wouldn't call it a scorcher! Better than the last few days though. It was over 30ºC in the sun while I was out walking, so that's a scorcher for me Quote
Nollaig Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Bright and sunny here, looks warm out but I'm hoping it isn't. Was cool enough coming in to work. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 It's raining. It's ranged from fine drizzle to great big heavy drops, but there's water precipitating out of that there sky. Quote
