I was in India two weeks ago when the real monsoon rains started, and to be honest, this aint much better!
The blody radio alternates between playing Walking on sunshine and Umbrella.
I feel hibernation coming on.

i well believe you , what was india like hh
Was sitting in the car last night watching the senior lads training with the thunder and lightning rattling round them and it absolutely chucking down. It's quite unreal. A long way from us being baked alive and the farmers crying for a drop of rain in April!

It was nuts Deel, great experience but was kinda relieved leaving.
Hard work, did Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Delhi was about 45-48 degrees, Monsoons in Agra, then about 48 degrees in Jaipur. Early morning starts every day due to the tours. Knackered leaving but saw some things I'll never forget, the poverty, the wildlife (found a baby snake in my bathroom one night) and the Taj Mahal really has to be seen up close to be believed.
Wound down though with a week in the Maldives doing nothing but eating, drinking cocktails and snorkelling!
Feck, now I'm even more depressed about this weather!! >:(
famous irish pastime,whinging about the weather.england and france have seen lots of rain and darkness too.we are not alone.

It is pure dung over here in Birmingham, thunder and lightning last night, bucketing this morning. 2 inches of rain in the next 24 hrs forecast. I've to drive up north tonight 175 miles, and the fecking schools break up today meaning every joe soap with a tent or a caravan will be heading off for the weekend. And to think i bought a water butt to save water in the garden a few months ago. ::)
does anyone else rem the weather folk predicting that this was going to be a record HOT summer?
Its a record summer, but they couldnt have been as wrong if they tried !
I didnt believe them anyhow, but was hoping for a few nice days !
Autumn will be fine - it usually is

How do they make those long range predictions anyway, sure if they can't accurately predict the next 2 days how can they predict the next 3 months. Were bound to get a bit of use out of the bbq in August arent we? ???
like a lot of professions in Ireland these days, the weather people are worse than they ever were.
In years past, they would make predictions and get it wrong
these days they are so f**king shite, that they predict a bit of everything
it will be sunny, with rain, still with windy gusts at times, clear skies and occassionally cloudy.
fcuk sake >:(
Jaysus sake, they've now got thon thing Julian Simmons doing the weather on UTV - would he know one end of a barometer from the other

Oh I'd say he does alright
its what he's do with it that would worry most decent folk :o
The weather here is driving me mad, I came home on Sunday from glorious hot sunny weather in Chicago to THIS!! Rain everyday here.
I'm just suprised nobody has comment yet on "cheeky dubs complain about weather" or the likes ;)
For what its worth, it will be be in the mid ninties, humid with rain almost very afternoon for the next four months here in Florida. The worst part of hurricane season will be upon us in about 3 weeks. I would rather the Irish summer any day, but you can keep the winters. It is just to hot here to do anything outside.
I didnt see much rain last week in Glengarrif. And I had two fantastic days on a beach outside Clonakilty, and got sunburnt!
Rain is glorious!
If it rains today(sunday) it will be the 57th day of rain in a row in Ireland
Going to a wedding in greece where it is 40 degrees next week, i may be forced to stay indoors and keep taking liquids onboard.Was in nshville last summer, took a picture of a banks displays showing 103 farenheit, ridiculous heat altogether,impossible to walk around for more than a few minutes, ny can be a dose in the summer,killer at work and then try to play or train in the evening but a great way to be stick thin because you sweat gallons. Just get your jacket and hat and enjoy the time between the rain, its not going to kill you and dry weather will return soon.
sun is sptittin the trees at the minute, back to training the kids after a wee break, so its a cert to rain
would it be this new climate change thing, they keep talkin bout on the wireless. i think they should change it back, i preferred it the way it was
Lads ya would want to harden up, this is quite a normal Mayo summer :)
The 5 years I lived in Dublin I thought I was in the fecken Sahara, it hardly rains up there.

anyone building an ark?
Hope that umbrella song doesnt stay at number 1 today, its rained every day since its entered the charts!
Happy thought for a Monday morning.
If it rains today, it'll be the 58th day in a row that it has rained in Ireland.

A very appropriate song for this summer though, you must admit!
I can see this being played on reeling back the years in 20 years when they mention all the rain in 2007.
