25c here in Kilkenny.

Set to smash yesterday's temperatures which at my location reached 25.9C.

Clouds starting to pop up now but the breeze and the clouds are not affecting my maximum temperature! It is at 24.3c now.

Xenji

24.2C now in Castlebar, warmest since May.

Oscar Bravo

Dry and sunny in castlebar, the only thing in the sky is lots and lots of contrails

DOCARCH

25.0c here now in Dublin 16.

Gonzo

London already 30C, in the middle east Kuwait is warming up nicely at 48C!

23 here in west mayo,feels sweltering,can't imagine what it will be like inland this afternoon.

28.3c at home in Kildare.

sryanbruen

A minimum of 16.9c at Dunsany yesterday.

DOCARCH

Mount Dillion reporting 27c at 1200....could be one to watch for the 30c.

25.3c here in Dublin 16 atm.

Temps in Dublin have probably reached their peak. Easterly breeze has picked up and will impact. I am in West Dublin ( not far from Casement) and had 24.1° at 11.30am and now down to 23.9°. So any chance of the 30° being reached will be well inland, probably Mount Dillon. I'm actually disappointed as I took today off to enjoy the hot weather and to see some good thunderstorm activity tonight but it's looking just like a typical 'good summer's day' for Dublin and the East coast.

sryanbruen

No, the breeze is not doing anything to the temperature here at Grange. It has risen to 25.5c in half an hour!

sryanbruen

Of course we still have August to go but up to this point, 2016 is so far my second warmest Summer on record after 1995 - shocking!

How does that compare to the same time yesterday and is the breeze land or sea with you today?
22.5c here in Arklow with a mighty sea breeze
This type of breeze would normally peg temp here back to 18 it 19 so those warm uppers are trumping it

Gonzo

this morning was definitely a very warm morning but the sea breezes have causing temps to remain very similar since 9am this morning. Only marginally warmer than early this morning. 24C here now, I dont think we will beat the 26C of yesterday here however the west and midlands could get close to 30C in some spots.

Am I missing something here? Breeze ain't strong at all to cause temperatures to drop or stay the same here.

Slieve Gullion

YR weather site for Ireland putting 30c for Limerick. It's tropical round here.

Near....far away?

Unless Gonzo is your next door neighbour, no point speculating what conditions are like with him!

Just reached 26.0c here in Dublin 16.

I'm talking about everybody who is in the east and Dublin in particular (inc. you) and there is no strong easterly breeze here. I have a good idea that today will beat yesterday's maximum here.

East to north east breeze here today, whereas it was a south to south west breeze yesterday. With that wind direction, it would be hard to better yesterdays temps in Dublin.

Another half an hour gone and it has now risen to 26.4c, yesterday I hit 27.1c, so not far to go.

Big disparity. CC around 22/23, out in Clondalkin my sensor is picking up almost 27. Power of the breeze!

Yeah....Dublin AP down to 22c at 1300.

Mount Dillion reporting 29c at 1300...you'd have to imagine it may get to 30c there.

pad199207

29.8c now in Kildare! Winds are light there. Partial fohn from Wicklow Mtns from the SE

Gonzo

holding steady here at 24C, not sure we will get much past that today. Temps across much of Dublin are on the way down, just 22C at Dublin Airport, was 24C there at 10am.

Mt Dillon should easily be able to get 30C possibly 31C by the mid afternoon.

Breeze seems to be dying down here now so perhaps temps might jump a bit further with some luck.

Went on a 10k near mount dillon some years ago ...it was 23c everywhere but 27c there.

These conditions favour it

But wont get 33c or 57c world record from death valley
