Compared with summers 30 years ago, summers in the Northern Hemisphere are lasting 15-30 days longer than they used to. Temperatures in excess of 65°F are starting earlier and lasting longer. As far as I know, similar datasets are not available for Ireland, but I'd bet it's true here as well.
As of yesterday, we are having about a five-day interlude with the remnants of Hurricane Erin. Massive seas, some wind, and occasional downpours mark her passage. I hope she doesn't dilute the grapes.
