Teeing off on the old course in Lahinch in less than half an hour. Just finishing a very mediocre coffee in the clubhouse. The weather is absolutely stunning. It's almost as hot as my short game at the moment.

Uncle Ben

Cloudy skies here in the midlands and me back stuck to the seat of the van. You can't beat the Irish summers.

Very warm where I am.

ME never forecasted a heatwave.

It was forecasted by the likes of the Sun, the Daily Mail, the star etc etc. They hype up absolutely anything weather wise, every winter is snowmageddon and every summer we're going to have death by heat.

Honestly, how the Irish public are still fooled by these silly excuses for newspapers when it comes to their weather predictions is beyond me.

It's fantastic in Dublin and c'mon, that's the only bit that matters really.

And how ME manage to get the blame every time is very unfair as well!

This is their summary forecast for today.

<Warm and humid today.
Misty in places at first. Dry with good sunny spells developing especially in central and eastern areas, cloudier further west and near parts of the south coast with patchy rain or drizzle at times. Sea mist or fog likely to affect some coastal fringes also. Afternoon temperatures of 18 to 25 degrees, highest in eastern areas with the risk of a few showers breaking out later in the day.>

I'm guessing the OP is in the S/SW?

Funny enough, Met Eireann's Gerald Fleming at the weekend... "
we can expect some “warm and humid weather, certainly towards the end of the coming week, say Thursday, Friday”.

"I wouldn’t classify it as a heatwave."

It's in Dooblin since day break, the only place that matters in all fairness.

The only thing important in Dublin is the Airport, so you can get a cheap ryanair flight in and drive somewhere else.

Car temp gauge showing 20 degrees here in Dinegal at 8:30 this morning with Clear blue skies and bright sunshine. Gonna get very warm today!!

StarBright01

There was so much hype about this last week that it was going to be a nationwide heatwave! Rainy and foggy where I am

Why they still buy them is another mystery.

I don't think Met Eireann ever mentioned a heat wave.

A heat wave is classed as 5 consecutive days of 5 degrees above the normal.

The tabloids class it as any time the sun comes out.

I think only some parts of the south / south east of England and parts Wales are going to have proper heatwave conditions. The rest of us are going to have warm spell definitely not a heat wave.

Day Lewin

Gorgeous here in Sth Dublin suburbia...blazing sun and a cooling balmy breeze.
Stack of washing drying happily in minutes on the line. Raspberries ripening before our
very eyes. Sun lounger deployed. Clothing reduced to minimum and to hell with the neighbours!
Might get in for a dip at Seapoint later. Life is beautiful!

Weather forcasts are about as reliable as the White Witch of Cobh.

39º in the shade predicted here today. Drops to 34º for the next couple of days, better get out the thermals, before it goes back up to 40'ish again for the weekend.

Who said it would be a nationwide heat wave? Not the meteorologists anyway.

I don't think the Irish sun goes up to 38 degrees, we'd need to get a new radiator and all new bushings for it to get close to that temperature.

The sun is splitting the stones here in Newry

We're talking Ireland here buddy. You might as well be telling us what the weather is like in Spain.

29 degrees here right now at London Bridge, glorious and will be even hotter tomorrow. A lunchtime pint by the river beckons, in the best city in the world.

Left the flat at 07:30 this morning and it was 15ºc in Dublin. Sweatin balls in work here

Lia_lia

In Kerry. Cloudy skies and is drizzling. Kind of warm..but not really!

It's 40 degrees in the town my Dad lives in in France. Should go there for a week!

Jan Laco

Almost 40° here in Madrid. What I'd do for that Irish rain right now.

It's alright in the air conditioned office but I think I'll need a space suit or a camel to go get lunch in a few minutes.

The good thing about Madrid is that it's rarely humid so temperatures up to around 32º are quite manageable although once it hits 40 it feels very toasty out. Thankfully beer is cheap :cool:

rainbow kirby

Absolutely glorious in London - would kill for a sneaky half day!

Day Lewin

It IS glorious in Dublin, head for the nation's capital!
I bet the banks of the canal are lined with happy picnickers.
Stephens Green must be full of people sitting on the grass. The beaches basking in the coconutty smell of suntan oil.
Its lovely when the sun shines!
