    still 21C here after 10pm, it's gonna be a very warm night.
    Would nighttime heat such as this bring the cockroaches out at night?

    The station record high DP at my station was 20.3c recorded on July 13th last year. I have a feeling that could be beaten this week.

    I'm a little confused by : http://www.met.ie/nationalwarnings/default.asp

    How is this a YELLOW ALERT ?
    Weather Advisory for Ireland
    Very warm and humid this week with day time temperatures reaching the mid twenties in places. The nights will be very mild and close with lowest temperatures of around 15 or 16 degrees in many areas

    Issued:Monday 21 July 2014 10:00
    Valid:Tuesday 22 July 2014 00:01 to Saturday 26 July 2014 23:59

    That would seem like exceptionally mild weather, if just a little clammy.

    Also, considering we don't grow all that many spuds, I've never understood their fixation on Potato Blight warning. General information about other crops and gardening issues would be more useful.

    Mid twenties with high humidity would feel far worse than mild and a little clammy to a lot of people. And I don't wanna hear about other countries! :pac: This is Ireland, goddammit, and we're not acclimatised. :p

    Well we wouldn't want a repeat of "The Great Famine", would we!!! but seriously, we grow a lot of spuds in this country and any sort of information with regards to a threat to the production of potatoes is very welcome. I grow potatoes in the garden and I do take heed and action when blight warnings are issued so I for one am very happy that blight warnings are issued by our national Met service. I can only imagine how happy farmers are when they hear that blight conditions are imminent and that spraying conditions are ideal in the preceding days.
    No blight warning could potentially cost farmers millions of Euros and for consumers could lead to dramatic increases in potato prices due to demand exceeding supply.

    Another day being ruined now for most with plenty of cloud moving in. Was a stunning morning till now but it's getting very cloudy and feels cold under the cloud with breeze.

    It is seriously getting soul destroying at this stage the amount of cloud this little island has even during the best of weather, with the same old same old locations aided by the landscape escaping with good weather.

    Absolutely beautiful in Dublin atm. Clear skies and just some fair weather cloud. I suspect sunshine will become more widespread again as the wind goes more on shore.

    22.8c currently near the coast.

    mixed cloud and sun, 24C, possibly warmest day of the year here so far.

    looks like lasting till saturday. Sunday may be slighty cooler than another possible reload of high pressure and warm temperatures lasting into next mid-week at least.
