Summer 2017 - General Discussion

Larbre34

Having come from a campsite in mid-France at 34C at the weekend, this is plenty for Dublin please and thanks.

The waterside temp in Dun Laoghaire at the moment is 22C, with humidity 75% and rising...

DOCARCH

Phoenix Park 28c at 1400

Dublin AP and Casement 26c at 1400.

Meanwhile....no idea what the temp is here in Lanzarote, but I do know it's Tequilla Sunrise time! 😆

back to 26C here now, I reckon this is the start of the cooling trend.

If it was sunnier and the heat stayed on for longer, we would have got 30C.

Murrisk

Still 28 at the Phoenix Park at 14:00. I don't think it'll exceed that.

squarecircles

met eireann going for 29 degrees maximum

Most places dry, but some scattered heavy, thundery showers over parts of south Leinster and east Munster. Top temperatures 24 to 29 C., in central and eastern areas,


the cool air is already here on the coast in Mayo.
horrible overcast day with a chilly breeze.

Strong Life in Dublin

Its's warm here in south Dublin, however it's been overcast all day

Gonzo

the lack of sunshine defo holding back what could have been 30C.

sryanbruen

Currently at 27.2c here and my June record is 27.8c. Only thing that is holding me back is that breeze.

I can't remember it ever feeling this warm in Dublin, it's great. Going to get my last sea swim in of the nice spell this evening. Can any experts here see any more of this weather this year or is that us done for the year? I wonder which is rarer... weather like this or persistent snow and cold temperatures?

I don't know, I find it difficult to remember everything I've read on the internet

I'll send over the fella I just met wearing a parka jacket, I don't know how he hasn't melted in it.He's dressed for Mayo weather,not Wexford weather.

I did not mean to sound condescending intentionally. I don't know why I put "even" in my sentence.

Well despite the passage of that active cold front this morning, skies and atmosphere continues to be heavy here. Really quite dark under a dense stratus layer that hasn't shifted all day.

Oddly enough, while it feels very warm and heavy, it just doesn't feel roasting.  I was in Kerry at the weekend and temps were probably only around 24/25 at best but felt much hotter in the uninterrupted full on sunshine.

A nice chill in the air in Galway

Yeah, its maybe 23c in Cork city but it feels hotter now than when it was 26c or 27c a few days ago. I think humidity is very high in Cork today which may explain.

Persistent cold and snow most definitely. Getting a few days to a week this hot is not all that unusual. Even the crappy summer of 2012 got a few sunny days in the high 20s at the end of May.

Weirdly, the heaviness I was expecting today hasn't happened where I am. Everywhere else seems to have very high humidity going by Met Office stats but where I am, the humidity has been much lower for some reason.

4pm now. I'll give it another hour or two before I call today a dud. Cloud cloud cloud sums it up. Very disappointing. Reaching 26, sure, an achievement during an Irish summer but Saturday/Sunday we got there WITH sunshine.

Was hoping today would go that little step further based on the buzz generated. Won't rule out a 2nd temperature peak here anyway, just need the cloud to break.

Good to see some spots getting a bit more luck and heat though. Hopefully we can beat 28 this summer.

Murrisk

26 at Phoenix Park at 16:00. We have peaked for today, I think! Heading to Dun Laoghaire this evening. Don't care if it's cloudy as long as it stays balmy enough.

Elmer Blooker

Still 28 at the Phoenix Park, getting sunnier now so a long term record could be broken? 28.7c on June 6th 1950 is the one to beat.
Records began there as long ago as 1855.
Interesting that the June record there wasn't made in 1976 or 1995 when both months had hot endings.
Edit; just saw murrisk post above, I was looking at the 1500 reports so no record broken today.

It's 26C on the 4pm reports, probably due to the shower that passed through. But yeah the sun is making an appearance now so it should rise again.

It may have already beaten 28.7 today, the reports on Met E website are rounded averages over the hour, not rounded max.

Well my June forecast was shhht first half good second half

unfortunately the second half wont be all good as downhill for the rest

July forecast starting psss poor then picking up slowly until the middle of the month and then thunderstorms till the end. ... more or less
