Risk of very warm and sunny weather next week

Gonzo

cooler than yesterday, still managed 22C tho.

Kilkenny has been covered by a thick blanket of fog for about 30 of the last 48 hours! Sun has been threatening to break through, but no joy yet :mad:

Can anyone tell me if tomorrow will be any better for the south east? or can we expect much the same? I'm most concerned with wind/raid/night temperatures to be honest! Camping tomorrow

Harps

Lovely sunny day here again after the cloud broke up around 1pm, not as good as yesterday but a respectable max of 20.1C

Tomorrow is looking wet everywhere I'm afraid, might have cleared away by night time though

For the first time this week....I can actually see bits of blue sky amid the cloud.

Yup. Looking forward to it. The heavier the better, I say.

forecast looking quite good for Dublin and the East tomorrow, 22C hopefully it will stay dry till the late evening.

19c at Dublin Airport at 2100 !! -extraordinary.
I wouldn't be surprised if yesterday's 25.6c is equaled or even bettered tomorrow at Casement or the Airport.

Max today was 22.4C at Dublin Airport

Min

The sun set behind the clouds, appeared for a short period today, so after it set the sky decided to become cloud free...Hope it lasts for most of tomorrow before therain arrives.

A lovely night for getting out the telescope.

DE, the max temp at Malin Head in April was 20.8C on 22nd

The max on 28th April was 15.7C!

The ogimet figure is erroneous

Thanks for that MM. This is not the first time I have been stung by downloading and taking Ogimet's data set at face value!!

Should have double checked the value on met.ie before posting :rolleyes: but my main point still stands regardless in that the last 2 summers were pitiful, not only in terms of decent temperatures but also regards thunderstorm frequency and intensity which, for the sake of forum decency and decorum, I'd better stay quiet about! :mad:

To be fair to Ogimet, there was an error in the original 18Z synop report that was communicated by Met Éireann on the global telecommunication system. They obviously spotted that in their quality checks and have ammended it on their site, but it remains on ogimet's database, who get their data fom NOAA.

Absolutely. My comment was not so much a criticism of Ogimet as such but more directed towards myself for not double checking the actual max value on met.ie. Even a quick look at the data in the temperature group of the Malin Head synop reports during the afternoon of the 28th April it would be have been hard to see how a max of 23.1c could have occurred:

10139 (1600 UTC)

For anyone who is downloading and using large data sets from Ogimet, my advice (which I should have heeded myself!) is always double check unusually high or low readings of any element against official sources in case such readings are erroneous as in the case above.

For the record, I've discovered why my own station station has some of it's spikes ~ CB radio!!!!

It's not the only cause but I'd not have expected a 27MHz signal to interfere with a 400 or 800MHz signal ~ but it does.

After a recent particularly active evening of DX contacts my WS Temperature was over 250°C and as low as -47° and I also had 275kmh winds =

I'm sure now too that Taxi, Gardai and other emergency radio communications also interfere with it occasionally.

This thread aint dead and buried yet!!
20c and if it stays sunny a 21 or 22c (over 70 old style:)) is possible later.
It actually feels much warmer in the balmy breeze.

Never even thought of that, my station suffers mad spikes from time to time also.... my Yaesu is sitting right beside the weather station receiver and I use it on 2m and 70cm. Feck's sake, how did I not cop that...

Its weird how warm the strong breeze is though!... have all the windows open and there IS a draft but its not cooling the house down at all!

Thought i heard rain but it was just the breeze blowing ALL the leaves down the road, sounded cool! ha

Mothman

21.6C today, first time to record 20C in October. 12 years of records.

Also 4th highest temp of year.
with 2 days in August and 25th June having higher temps.
