Summer Weather 2016

JCX BXC

Cloud broke to give hazy sunshine for a few hours this afternoon in West Clare, pleasantly warm, ocean very warm for this time of year too! (Anyone know if Sea temps are up a bit?) Dense fog patches started forming at around 21:30 this evening now merging to form a dense fog here in West Clare, extremely pretty just after sunset. Sadly the camera refused to capture its beauty.

Anyone know when this heat is going to drop. I love the sunny weather but find anything over 20 degrees unbearable.

I think a lot of it has got to do with humidity rather than heat. Gets so flipping humid in Ireland.

24.4 yesterday was a max so far for me, in Offaly. Today may be the peak of this spell. I'll take a bit of rain after this for a few days for the garden veg but don't want low pressure to take too much limelight this month....have to be careful what you wish for weather wise here.

LEIN

Another humid night. A little more comfortable than yesterday.

JCX BXC

Worst night yet in West Clare, all windows wide open and I was twisting and turning for hours. Feel sorry for all the junior and leaving certs the area.

Still very cloudy here since the day began and not a peak of sunshine!

Harry Palmr

Fabulously sunny again today, micks weather site for Waterford says 20.5 which is just about warm enough with a warm breeze.

Oscar Bravo

23 degrees Newport Co mayo, 1pm met reports. Feels very warm here in castlebar at the moment

lolie

Still no sun yet here today, looking at sat24 that should change soon.
Nice and mild out though.

Lumi

24.8C recorded at 15:13 making it the hottest day of the year so far in Galway city

Nice work, I'm thinking of getting a tower fan but the heat wave will probably be gone by then....

Temps topped out today in Castlebar at 24.8C, just 0.2mm of rain in nearly 3 weeks now, its has been a very good stretch of weather for us, humidity has been a killer at night the last week or so, consistently in the 90's.

Dense fog forming in parts of Dublin city now.

It's very weird - I am in South Dublin, near UCD/Donnybrook and it's the patchiest looking fog I have ever seen.

Had the same last night in West Clare, it was very pretty though!

Itssoeasy

Coming home from work on the bus in cork city and there is not a cloud in the sky. Awesome sauce. What a time to be alive in Ireland. And I'd like to thank the leaving and junior Certs for the continued mighty weather.

CloudCumulus

The heat was unreal in Galway today but unfortunately I couldn't go to the beach for the 4th day in a row. Problemz!

Gonzo

Travelled home from Galway earlier today, was in Galway till 3pm, the heat there today was crazy, it got to about 25C but it felt more like 30C with all that humidity and no breeze.

Got back to Dublin by 5.30pm and the temp difference between Galway and Dublin was massive, Dublin felt chilly in comparison and it was only 17c with fog rolling in. Back now in meath and it's certainly not as cold as Dublin was.

Elmer Blooker

feeling cold here, hard to believe its 15c, the damp mist making it feel cold.
MetE says temperatures dropping back to 17-19c on Friday .... so roll on Friday - can't wait! :P

Gonzo

just seen ME forecast and they have rain/showers every day from Friday onwards, Friday could be a washout in places.

patneve2

sea fog has become rather dense here at the moment

JCX BXC

Met Eireann 20:50 update:
Today
Dense fog in the east, a few showers elsewhere but otherwise fine this evening.

Tonight

Staying mild and close tonight with further fog. Temperatures not falling below 12 to 16 degrees.



Tomorrow

Tomorrow, Thursday mist and fog will slowly clear in the morning with some hazy sunshine developing. It will be mostly dry with just the odd shower but towards evening cloud will thicken from the west with outbreaks of rain along western coastal counties later. Another warm day with temperatures of18 to 24 degrees in light south to southeasterly breezes.

Feels cold in the fog here in wicklow compared to the last few evenings

LEIN

Same here in Donegal, 20.7 so hot. :eek:

17.3c here in west clare at 22:20. All windows open, too hot. Sick feeling. Love the hot days, but these Irish houses aren't built for the warm nights!

14*C here in Meath. I feel much better now than I did in the last few days, probably won't need the fan on tonight. We got the house insulated during the winter and the heat builds up. I can't open my windows more than a few inches because my neighbour's cat always curiously jump in, so the last few nights have been pretty rough.

Oscar Bravo

1050 pm , Castlebar, 19.1 degrees,dew point 15.5 = humidity 80%= windows open ,no sleep. but hey,this weather has been fantastic

Oscar Bravo

Nothing gets the day off to a better start then waking up stuck to the bed and covered in a film of sweat, not to mention morning breath is 10 times worse!
