Super-Rush

19c and surprise surprise its cloudy yet again.

No sign of a break in the permacloud over Achill. Still I supposes at least I won't have to water the garden today.

It's a bit on the humid side here in Cork City.
The car air conditioner is really making itself useful! Blissful dry air in the cabin.

Foggy here in tramore, the sun is trying to break through

20c & overcast 80% humidity,looking out towards Howth it looks misty.I wonder how Bray is doing

maquiladora

Dew point is almost 20 degrees here in Waterford. Sweatin!

_Whimsical_

Humid to a sickening degree in Galway. In the house is much cooler than outside.Once you step out you're hit by a wave of thick warm air not unlike what you get opening an oven.
It's been rain and very grey but a small slice of blue is opening up in the greyness.

Weird day here in tramore, the fog has yet to lift, but it still warm on the beach.

Would nighttime heat such as this bring the cockroaches out at night?

Do they actually exist in Ireland? Like, proper big ugly brown things? or are they smaller ones that just live in drains etc?

How is this a YELLOW ALERT ?



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.

WEATHER WARNING! STAY INDOORS! IT WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN ROOM TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE! TO PREVENT DEATH, STAY IN BATH OF ICE!

Pretty ridiculous really.

Blight doesn't just affect potatoes.

There should be a good bit more sunshine tomorrow and toward the end of the week temperatures could top 28c somewhere inland. It wouldn't surprise me.

Was out of Bray in Dundrum from 2-5pm today visiting relatives. The cloud line/boundary was virtually overhead in Dundrum and clear blue skies as you looked East. Thus, while it was just as warm in Dundrum (25.5ºc according to car) the Sun was in and out, while I imagine Bray probably had uninterrupted Sun in the same time period. Bit of Sea mist obscuring the top of Bray Head though when I got back to Bray. With the topography surrounding Bray, thats literally how close the dividing line can be between Sunny Bray and Dull SoCoDu. I remember back in the 80's living in Firhouse Co Dublin we'd be bemoaning the Dull Grey Skies day after day and the Granny visiting from Bray would tell us that the sun was splitting the rocks for days in Bray.

Are there any nice beaches in the South Dublin/Wicklow area and do they suffer from the same invasion of knackers like the Northside ones do?

force eleven

Just stood out in a light rain shower. It's 24C and 80% humidity. I've not experienced that here ever.

HappyDaze007

Just flew in from Spain, some great cloud activity going over the Wicklow mountains and bray head, the plane was all over the place going through the clouds..

I have not had a full night sleep since June. I have had enough of this weather. Any changes on the way?

Greystones is really nice, just full of nice normal people enjoying the good weather. Huge contrast to Bray just down the road full of drunken 'youths'

You need to update your database of old stereotypes my friend. 2006 Darts don't run on the weekends for an entire Summer due to line maintenance. Dublins finest have to find new playgrounds for their drunken antics that year. They love Portmarnock and Howth so much, they never come back in large numbers. Bray Seafront becomes gentrified and a thriving cafe culture starts to spring up on the seafront. Thousands of how'a'ya's with bags of cans and dirty nappies replaced with thousands of Irish and European picnicing families and foreign students and joggers and walkers ertc etc. Youtube launches new channel called Portmarnock/Howth Riot 2010/11/12/13/14.

Times have changed.

Heavily pregnant, in the land locked midlands, feeling like I'm living in my airing cupboard........I win!

Jesus, will this ever end, heat and cloud has to be the worst combination. There not a breeze here in the midlands, it's suffocating. :(

Super-Rush

100% humidity and a dew point of 17c here in Carlow.

Not much change except it will be possibly warmer over the next few days and nights. It may cool down from Sunday, but chances are it will warm up again from Monday with another reload of high pressure.

Feels unpleasantly close outside now, definitely cooler indoors. I'd kill for a bit of a breeze, the midges are out in force tonight.

More positive posts like this please!

The "oh it's 19 degrees...how will I ever sleep...it's so muggy" posts are getting tiresome. You'd swear the country has shifted to the Amazon jungle, the way some people are going on.

It's room temperature outside. Big deal!
