That chart looks amazing. I wonder how long it will last. I'm doing the Whole Way Round run from 15th-18th June. It would be lovely it the good spell lasts until then!

Good luck trogdor and wc in the exams tomorrow- typical exam weather!

Theres always a heatwave at exam time and I bet as soon as the core Junior/Leaving cert exams are over the weather will break down again...

Belmullet is at 19C at 9 in the morning (top temp here possibly today). Some low cloud here on the East coast will burn off soon hopefully.:)

Maybe we should spare a thought for our cousins in the UK........thankfully they act as a sheild between us and the North Sea so their week in Eastern Areas especially is going to be somewhat different to ours

usually we act as the shield for them from the Atlantic and they get all the warm sunny weather in summer and the cold snowy weather in winter!

The UK will be mainly cloudy for the next few days restricting temperatures. We should reach 27C before end of weekend before thundery weather moves with a pressure drop from the south.

Ye I like the sound of meteireanns forecast:
"Saturday will be mainly dry with good spells of sunshine, light winds and highest temperatures of about 20 to 24 degrees. However rain will develop in the southeast in the late evening and spread across much of the country on Saturday night. It will be heavy and thundery in places"
Although yesterday they were forecasting 26c for end of weekend but now thats been downgraded to 24c- still pleasant tho:)

Hmmm, will these be imported storms? Or just an upper unstable layer that requires homegrown heat to trigger storms?

The following link really shows the temp contrast between UK and Ireland

It's great because usually in Summer it's always the other way round:D
24c in the west now.

darkman2

I dont think its going to be Saturday for the storms to develope tbh. Saturday should be dry, warm and sunny again. More likely to be Sunday/Monday I reckon before thundery showers break out as pressure drops from the South. Southeast England looks like having beefy storms tomorrow:)

Partly imports, partly homegrown I would think:)
