Well in 1985 the sun stopped Shining on June 3 in Ireland and didn't emerge from the clouds again until September 20th. Be grateful for small mercies :D

And only Hurricane Charlie prevented 1986 from being even worse. That was in August !

Saturday 3rd August 1985 was a day of sunny spells and thundery showers, Sunday 4th August 1985 was a day of torrential rain and thunder while Monday 5th August 1985 was a day of thundery showers and sunny spells. Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd July 1985 and Friday 28th June and Saturday 29th June 1985 were nice enough days. Still that summer was absolute muck!!:mad:

The worst of them were 1985, 1986, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2002.

Anyone with different or same opinions?

1988 doesn't belong in that bracket cause a) it was warm and b) it was sunny off and on the problem was you couldn't get 2-3 days in a row that were sunny. And we played in Euro '88 , maybe it's cause I was in Germany for most of June that I didn't mind it so much!:D :D

The best summer weather that year coincided with Euro '88!!:D
