    sad knowing after just 2 days its all over, tomorrow could be the last high 20s for another few years, getting above 24C anywhere in Ireland is rare as hens teeth.

    I could easily enjoy this weather every single day up to mid October! Make the most of tomorrow!

    Oi, there's still August to go. And we haven't had a warm August since 2013 and an August with high temperatures over 28c since 2006. We are overdue a warm August.

    :eek: Temp below 20!!
    19.9c now ......... must dash and put on the heating!

    It's so rare to see some hi res models having the 18° isotherm @ 850 level crossing over parts if the country. Inland East areas (enough distance from the coast to negate somewhat the SE wind tapering back the temperatures), I can see a 30 easily somewhere.

    I'll go wild and say we'll see a 31-32° somewhere in Leinster. If that fails, 29 or a 30 in Mt. Dillon is surely a cert given it was 27 today, far and above nearby counties maxing around 24/25. Although, depends how soon cloud cover gets going for the NW and Midlands tomorrow, might not get enough time to build up at 29 in more Western areas if sunshine becomes dispersed among broken cloud cover.

    10 years to the day since our highest temp recorded so far this century and since 1976. Remember it well, one of the only times I can recall that the heat left Irish people running for shade and the cooler indoors! To be fair we had already had had weeks of it that year

    I used to be the same but anymore I'm happy with temps of about 22/23 and sunshine. To me that is warm enough to sit out or sunbathe without affecting your routine (eg sweating by the time you walk to work or not enjoying my run because I got a headache from the heat as I did at 7pm this evening when the temps were still 26 in Dublin!!). Saying that I still don't mind these occasional extra special weather events as it does seem to put most people in a good mood but 4 months of it...maybe not.

    The official record of 33.3° at Kilkenny Castle has stood since 26th June 1887. Here's an article from the Dublin Daily Express which reports on that exceptional spell as recorded at Killarney, and mentions the Kilkenny record -

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 787 ✭✭✭ArKl0w


    Overnight low here of 16.7c

    Beautiful blue skies here

    A crying shame I can only see it from across the office floor

    21.0c here now in Dublin 16.

    Warmer than this time yesterday, but, with easterly component to the wind (and/or sea breezes) today, I don't expect to get high temp like yesterday (28.1c).

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,201 ✭✭✭ongarboy


    Wow 24c already at 10am at usually cooler Valentia!!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,716 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    24C here now, its been years since we had temps like this this early in the day! Didn't even get this warm at any stage last summer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭Xenji


    21.7C in Castlebar so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,108 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    24c at 10:30 am at Shannon


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,201 ✭✭✭ongarboy


    Yesterday's hottest official station Mount Dillon, Roscommon at 25 degrees according to Met Eireanns 11am readings! I nominate there or Shannon to record the highest temps today. I feel eastern stations may be moderated somewhat today by sea breezes.
