    There's a website with details of near-real time data of weather conditions based in Omagh, and yesterday it reached a peak of 21.5 degrees, worth following for me locally during unusual weather especially as the closest main Met Office weather station is Castlederg about 15 miles away and conditions can change over short distances here in western Tyrone.

    Looking at it now, it might break 21 degrees again today.

    Currently 18.2c ATM on my thermometer, clear blue skies. What's even more interesting for me is that the hygrometer is giving a humidity measurement of just 38% - pretty uncommon to see humidity that low here.

    Great to still have bright daylight this time of the evening, really feels like summer this week :)

    Great view of the Moon and Venus out there right now as well, clearly visible even with the sky still bright

    Finally I got some reasonably clear skies on a Monday night to get some stargazing done.
    I put the scopes on the front step at about 8pm, and I got to go out after completion of my college assignment at about 1am to thermally-stable scopes. Seeing wasn't too good at ~2 arcsec blurs (epsilon lyra wasn't an easy split in the 100mm), but I could see Cassini's on Saturn reasonably easily, as well as Cydonia and the polar ice cap on Mars. There was a lot of fine dust or other small particulates suspended in the atmosphere as the tranparency just wasn't there and there was a fine halo around anything bright and all deep-sky extended objects were really hard to see.
    It was a nice warm night till half two or so when I went to bed, with no dew on my scopes - this was a refreshing change from the usual! No fog either at that stage.
    Tonight I'll try to be out earlier to get a few video clips of Jupiter, venus, and the Moon if the seeing has improved.
    It's really good to have proper sunshine during the day and clean clear skies at night!

    That budweiser app from last summer would have been handy now with parts of ulster and connacht topping 20c by noon. Warmer than what I saw most of last summer!

    Absolutely stunning day here, best of the week so far with the slight cooling breeze of the past few days gone. 22.1C and still rising

    Belmullet at 21C on the 2pm report, another new record there today!

    Finner reporting light rain :confused:

    21c now, yesterday's March record didn't last long.
    Only 19c at Valentia, I would expect it to be higher due to the Reeks and a light easterly - I've seen some unusually high temps there over the years in a set up like this.
    17.2c at the moment but feels much warmer after yesterday's chilly wind.
    Light rain at Finner- next Sunday is April 1st not today!

    The national record is 23.6C, doubt Belmullet will make it but a few amateur stations are already above it

    Malin Head with a 5C drop to 13C and Finner with recent rain, don't know what that's all about but its 22.2C here with a heat index of 25C!
