Summer 2012 is going to be a warm one in Ireland with a lot of sunshine and high temperatures.
This is very optimistic but it is what we predict and having studied conditions over past years and this years weather conditions we feel this is not beyond the realms of fantasy. So what if we are wrong. Long Range Weather Forecasts can be just that but this year it looks like a good year is in prospect and a dry one too.
May 2012
UPDATE - Very cold weather May 5th to May 10th. Temperatures 5 to 8c
A few showers at times but generally a lot of cloudy weather in prospect.

June 2012
Very warm conditions for a lot of the month with sunshine and temperatures in the twenties.

July 2012
Warm still away from the West and North where it will be more cloudy and misty than June.
Temperatures of 25c are possible in the South at times. Generally 15 to 20c.
Warmer weather everywhere at times but fronts will tend to brush along the West.
August 2012
More sunshine in the West than July but showers also, some thundery.
Eastern parts will have more in the way of dry weather and this could be causing water supply problems here. Temperatures over 20c on a lot of days.
More general rain for all at the end of the month.
This is the current forecast for Summer 2012 and it will be changing as time goes on but a dry one is well overdue now and pressure has been quite High overall in 2012.
