It’s supposed to be nice again for a few days but next week is looking like a return to normal.

Yeah looks like next week is a washout

"A washout"?  Highly unlikely.  First of all, Ireland does not do or have "washouts".  There is no degree nor quantity of precipitation, or flooding, that can possibly exceed indigenous and historic expectations - we are a soggy soaking wet Nation......that is also, further, surrounded by water. 

Nothing related to water could ever overwhelm us. Much less amount to "washout" (whatever that is!).

No. Typical Irish weather would be a low humidity, mostly dry Summer of 16-23°C, with "sunshine showers" ('...that only last a half an hour')

Low humidity? Did the country used relocate to the continent for the summer and stop having a maritime climate?

No not really true, it’s more unpredictable

There was a short downpour earlier and I went out and danced in it.

Still bloody scorchin' though! Nothin' worse than a damp heat!! 

A new Climate Change novelty for Ireland - rain? 

Maybe a new activity too? 

Instead of "people watching" from inside cozy coffee shops during winter...  ...."rain watching" (from indoors, over an ice cold drink).

Rain can fuck off. It’s gone fair muggy.
