RobertKK

It got over 18C in Kilkenny.

So far it has been a nice day if a bit breezy.
The radar suggest rain later in the day.

JCX BXC

First day of September, first bit of a thunderstorm since February.

The lightning has taken away the misery of the day here in West Clare.

Also brightening up here near Tralee after a dull overcast day with low dense cloud , feeling mild this evening at 17 C ( did get up to 17.6C around 18.00 ). Only 1.4mm here from mist and drizzle.

Stayed mainly dry here today with just the odd patch of very light rain.

philstar

today looks good, for the southern half

LEIN

Not a bad morning here so far. Cool and bright sums it up.

Meteorite58

After a damp cloudy start it has turned into a nice day here in Tralee. Fresher clearer air now after the cold front has gone through. Good stretches of blue sky and sunshine and feeling relatively warm in the high teens.

LEIN

Cloud has broken here too. Decent afternoon now.

Meteorite58

The South getting a fair drenching tomorrow and windy along the coast

LEIN

Went on the Dublin Bay cruise at 12:30 today.
My word it was rough, first time I ever felt sea sick.

alentejo

Very disappointing morning here in D6W. Very damp and wet yet looking at the rain radar it's dry.

Gonzo

should be some rain tonight, warming up towards the mid 20s, cooler from Thursday but still very mild for time of year. Eastern areas could see close to 20C for the next 10 days with many parts staying completely dry. The north and west will be more unsettled at times from next Thursday. Overall September is starting to look very decent.

Meteorite58

24C for Clare /Limerick tomorrow perhaps

Good stuff

Meteorite58

Yea reading about having a Meridional Jet Stream for the Next 5-6 days which is helping the warmer tropical airmass travel up over Ireland. Warm and Humid, and in these parts on the SW coast expecting it to be breezy if not windy at times with mist and drizzle and patches of cloud, will feel muggy at times , good opportunities for Lenticular clouds I would think. Bit of a shell shock to the system if your body clock is expecting more Autumnal weather

That's the heat and humidity from ex-hurricane Gaston. It was absorbed into a low pressure over the north Atlantic. I haven't felt humidity like this in a while, feels real tropical.

I think there is one over me in Dublin 16! Blue skies all round, but a stubborn cloud overhead, not going anywhere (and blocking the sun). Despite that, it's a humid feeling 22.0c now.

RobertKK

23.4C.
One can't complain.

A mixture of blue skies and cloud in Castlebar at 20.1C and 84% humidity, it sure beats the 43mm of rain we received in the last 4 days.
