Thurles, Co. Tipperary “Singin’ In The Rain”.

Rain has returned to Thurles this evening, Monday, July 27th 2026, after an unusually long dry spell.

Met Éireann’s provisional summer records show that much of County Tipperary experienced sustained dry conditions through the first three weeks of July, while the nearby Gurteen weather station had recorded a notably wet June. On the available evidence, the last proper measurable rain in the Thurles area appears to have fallen around June 30th, making this evening’s rainfall the first significant rain for almost four weeks.

“Singin’ In The Rain”.

Lyrics: American lyricist and a Hollywood film producer, the late Arthur Freed [Grossman] (1894–1973).
Vocals: American dancer, actor, singer, director and choreographer, the late Gene Kelly (Eugene Curran Kelly) (1912–1996) latter whose parents were both of second generation Irish decent. [Derry on his mother’s side (Harriet Catherine Curran), and possibly Co. Clare (but not conclusively) on his father’s side (James Patrick Joseph Kelly)]

**Late Great** **Gene Kelly**.
*(Eugene Curran Kelly)* *(1912–1996)*.

Few songs capture the pleasure of a rainy evening as perfectly as “Singin’ in the Rain,” famously performed by Gene Kelly in the 1952 musical film of the same name. First introduced decades earlier, the song became immortal through Kelly’s joyful performance as he dances along a rain-soaked street, splashing through puddles and turning an ordinary downpour into an expression of happiness and romance.
The sequence remains one of the most recognisable moments in cinema history.

“Singin’ In The Rain”.

“Singin’ In The Rain”.

Do, do-do-do,
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do, do-do-do,
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do-do, do-do-do,
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do,
Do, do-do-do,

I’m singin’ in the rain, just singin’ in the rain,
What a glorious feelin’, I’m happy again.
I’m laughin’ at clouds so dark up above,
The sun’s in my heart and I’m ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place,
Come on with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face.
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain,
Just singin’, singin’ in the rain.

Dancing in the rain,
I’m happy again.

I’m singin’ and dancin’ in the rain.
I’m dancin’ and singin’ in the rain.
