June 2015 to bring Warmer spells
After a quite nightmarish May of cold wind and rain it looks like June will bring an improving situation for Ireland. The temperature for May was 9.9c Mean which is over a degree below what we would normally expect. June averages about 12.6c in Sligo and after day 1 we are on 8.8c!! But dont despair this figure will creep up as the month goes on and there is certainly strong signals of temperatures exceeding 20c in the next 7 to 10 days.

Warm Summer ahead for Ireland
2013 will see a lot of warm weather in the Summer for Ireland after the washouts of the last few years.
The temperatures for May will be around 10 to 15c only getting higher toward the end of the month. There will be a lot of breezy and wet days with the wind coming down from the Northwest. Rainfall for this month will be above normal overall and sunshine and temperatures will be below normal.!
Also July could be quite hot too. Temperatures of the mid twenties are possible at times but because of the heat there will be a tendency toward more thundery weather and this will cause rainfall figures for this month to be well above normal in some places while in other locations there will be just about normal rainfalls. Overall the Summer will be a warmer one than is relative.
It cools down again in August but there will be some pleasant days at times also. There will be temperatures in the midteens most of the time as the wind comes from a cooler Northerly direction after being in a Southerly direction for most of the season. Rain and wind could break out at the end of the month more widely and of course the nights will get cooler into single figures at times.

How accurate is weathergossip for Long Range Weather Forecasts? Well most long range models tend to aspire to a 50/50 success rate. In fact we are slightly above this overall for the past 12 months with a 52% correct rate of predictions for temperatures, wind, rainfall and sunshine. In the past 3 months out success rate has been nearer 60% so are we getting more accurate. Well as the depth of weather knowledge and information increase on the Web all forecasters are learning more for the future even if the main weather companies like Met Eireann and the UK Met Office place little faith in Long Range Forecasts.
May
May will be a cool month though and thought will immediately turn to all the wet Summers we have had.The temperatures for May will be around 10 to 15c only getting higher toward the end of the month. There will be a lot of breezy and wet days with the wind coming down from the Northwest. Rainfall for this month will be above normal overall and sunshine and temperatures will be below normal.!

June however is looking a lot drier and warmer.Sunshine will break out more readily as the month goes on especially for parts of the East and the South of the country. Temperatures will be up to the low twenties at times too creating a very pleasant month. Sunshine and temperatures for this month will be above normal and the rainfall below normal especially in Leinster.July

The rest of this Winter is set to be cold or very cold with snow at times.
The rest of January will see the cold weather take hold before February sees an Easterly blast of air with some very cold frosty nights possible. These details are uncertain for Ireland as of yet but the warning signs are certainly there.
