    Up to midnight last:

    Overall Mean: 15.0c (+0.4c)
    Overall Rain: 152.8mm (175.4%)

    do you think the mean will hold steady at 15.0 till the end of the month?
    i reckon with a good brisk northerely breeze out of this hp it could drop a bit

    I would think temperature and sunshine will go up during the next week, very warm conditions possible Wed-Sat in particular, could see some local 27 or 28 C highs, and reasonable sunshine totals like 8-10 hours a day.

    Its gonna get warmer - dont think it will reach 27C but you never know. Depends on all the usual variables like cloud cover. What id be more interested in personally is the scope for thunderstorms this week which could get high toward the end of the week in particular.

    Correct (except its not Valencia), 9.7h overall for the 3 days.

    Dublin AP 7.0C yesterday, new low for month, but would be surprising if there is not lower before months end.

    Is this still the lowest temperature recorded so far this month?

    Yes, there was a 7.1C at Mullingar couple days ago.

    At this stage I'm prepared to be surprised!!

    Current mean stands at 14.9c. which is 0.4c above normal. With the weather as promised, I'd not be surprised to see the mean finishing off in or around 15.5c, assuming that the coming humid spell will increase the mean temp by around 0.1c for the next 6 days.
