Turning very warm/hot, heatwave conditions likely; Sunday 24th -->

Mobhi1

Mostly clear sky here in Glasnevin. There's a light breeze. The temperature's only risen to 22.3C. It's currently 22.2C. RH is 60%.

24.9c oh soooooo close!

Danno

Currently closing in on 24c in south Laois and might make it to 25c again, so no let up to the heat really. Last Thursday July 5th though the max was only 24.6c (25c rounded?) so technically we may have fallen out of heatwave conditions for one day by just 0.4c and I think Carlow Oakpark was just 0.1c shy with 24.9c that same day.

Humidity is down today and there isn't a cloud in the sky in light northerly breezes. This morning felt distinctly cool as overnight lows fell below 10c for only the second time this month. Interestingly, the warmest night of the heatwave came the night before (Sunday night->Monday) with 15.4c recorded as the AWS low.

Indeed it is! Bliss...Irony is that West Mayo is still green . Other areas need it more than we do.

Grey and overcast in Castlebar, 18.1C and 83% humidity.

Day 17 of the heatwave in Kilkenny. High so far got to 25.1C today.

Andy From Sligo

rain predicted here in south county sligo and cool - heatwave is over (for the moment) ...

Oak Park at 24c top of the charts at 2pm but Cork Airport and Moore Park both 23c. See https://www.met.ie/latest-reports/observations

Was out at lunch and it feels more than 23c again. There's been no let up down here, I reckon its been 23 to 28c degrees at Cork Airport, and 24c to 30c at Moore Park, every day for over a fortnight now. Remarkable really (especially given how high up Cork airport is - it usually reads a couple of degrees cooler than Cork city).

It was a busy thread. Bright sunshine and cloudless sky around Limerick. Not very warm but expecting 24 or 25 degrees around teatime this evening. If you do close this thread someone will probably start new thread to cover the few sunny days that are left before the expected breakdown over next weekend.

Hit 26.1c so day 17 of heatwave at mine

Gonzo

reached 22C here earlier, back down to 20C now, but still very sunny and feeling pleasantly warm.

UK Met's rainfall for tomorrow looks less intense over Leinster and more showery compared to their forecast from early this morning.

ECMWF last night was showing rain all across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north east today, so far there's barely a cloud in the sky with only a small area of rain in Northern Scotland.

Feeling cooler today in Kildare when in the shade but still nice and warm with unbroken sunshine. The graphic forecast on the met website shows sun/partly cloudy and temps in the 20's all week here still so we might squeeze a few more days out of it yet

Rikand

Cloudy and cool in beautiful Bundoran. I suspect the arcades are going to do very well out of me!

Is yours an official climatological station?

Nope, a private Davis Pro 2 Plus with 24 hours FARS. But I only claim a heatwave at mine not for all of Carlow

harr

27c now in my back garden reading 26c on the nearest private weather station on wunderground ... the drop back in temps tomorrow probably going to be a shock to the system if it materialises..

Danno

AWS just hit 25.0c.

Yeah, this spell of exceptionally hot weather has far outstayed its welcome now as far as I'm concerned.

It's 25 celsius, with no breeze to speak of. If there was a breeze it would take the intensity out of the heat at least.

I can't remember exceptionally bad weather lasting as long as this eceptionally good weather.

Rebelbrowser

I see it was 25c again at Moore Park (Co. Cork) and Oak Park (Co. Carlow) at 4pm. The heatwave continues.....

It reached 24.8C here. Now 24.6C.

23.8c & sunny in North Cork.
Glorious. I can do this all summer :P although I do feel for the farmers, loads of cattle in the fields around here being fed from feeders.
On a private well which seems perfectly fine, no signs of any problems.

Gawjus in D15 currently. Blue skies and a lil warmth.

CrowdedHouse

Sneaked up to 26.6C at around 5 o'clock

This is how summer should be, each and every year. Maybe some rain or showers every few weeks to keep the ground less brown.

Right now it looks like we are entering a more normal/unsettled spell of weather after this weekend. I am really hoping it will just be a one week blip and that we'll be back on the high pressure and 21C+ temperatures for end of July, most of August and early to mid September.

I don't mind a little bit of unsettled weather, once we go back to settled conditions soon afterwards. Nothing worse than watching the summer go down the tubes like it did at the start of July last year.

500mb height anomaly reanalysis for 18 April to 8 July 2018 showing just how phenomenal the anticyclones have been during the period; look at all those red colours. Easily the most intense anticyclone I have seen on these charts.

DOCARCH

Oak Park reporting 26c at 1700....so heatwave intact for today!

Meanwhile, in my part of Dublin, 20.3c atm. Fantastic sunny/clear blue sky day.

It's like the fooking Doldrums though.

No breeze to speak of, weather being the same each day every day.

Car says 27 degrees yet again in north cork
