It's not turned cold here in cork but it's certainly clouded over and dropped in temperature a bit.

We had that all day down on the west cork coast, however it’s now after brightening up and no longer cloudy! Temps rose massively too.

Lovely refreshing breeze on Rush beach today , a welcome relief from the much warmer south west Dublin

I've been dreading the inevitable rise in humidity. I think the east will get our comeuppance next week after all these low humidy mid 20s sea breeze days. Some freaks will like it though.

The last third of May and the first third of June was characterised by weather like this. Mid 20s temperatures and high humidity. It just seems to be going on and on and on and on this year, and we haven't even reached the warmest and most sticky part of the year yet.


I think this weather would be more acceptable to me if it occurred in August, because at least then, you'd have the comforting of knowing that summer is on the way out (even if it is usually in a slow and torturous manner) At this point in time however, we are really just at its beginning, and this fills me with a dread that I cannot put into words.

Walked by the canal a while ago. A very noticeable drop in temperatures compared to other evenings this week and a stronger breeze. Still gorgeous though.

Reminds me of 1995. 1995 was a prolonged sunny spell but not every day was 25+. There were many days that were low to mid 20s but they were still sunny and beautiful.

Highest temperature today was 28 point something in Athenry - Joan Blackburn.

28.2 according to Gerry on the radio at 18.50

If this spell of weather continues into mid July it could have serious consequences for farming and crops. Yields will be down hugely and after a harsh winter and now this feed supplies for animals could be extremely tight especially if we got an early autumn.

You have to wonder if Irish water should be cutting pressure back already. If there are 2 more weeks of this we are going to be in a bad situation. People will be queuing up at roadside wells and any farmer with his own well dug will have a lot of new friends.

Today was just perfect in Bray. 20c and a nice breeze!

28.2 °C at Athenry was the max of all stations, but for the synops, there was a close battle.

27.9 Shannon
27.8 Gurteen
27.6 Claremorris, Oak Park
27.5 Finner
27.1 Castlederg

Cloud and a fresh wind creating a big temperature difference between the N, NW, W to the S , E and SE . Quite fresh along the SW Coasts.

Temps a more modest mid 20s at the moment here but feels even dirtier and stickier than the last few days which is saying a lot.

2006 featured that horrible rise in humidity. I have a very vivid memory of being on an evening rush hour Dublin Bus in the dying days of the warm spell. I remember how incredibly grouchy I was, standing in the aisle. There was just an atmosphere on the bus like a row could break out at any moment. It was excruciatingly clammy.

2003 too, another vivid memory. My sister and I were in town. It was high 20s and gloomy. Apparently haze but you couldn’t see the sun. It was actually overcast. We were shopping on Henry Street and went to head home. We were getting our bus on Parnell Square West which was barely a ten minute walk. It was SO oppressive and we were SO drained that we stopped dead in our tracks outside the cinema on Parnell Street and decided that going to watch some crappy summer blockbuster was preferable to completing our sweaty walk to the bus stop. So we took refuge in the air-conditioned cinema until the humid heat of the day had dissipated and rush hour had passed.

A case of 'going troppo'.

18.6C here near Tralee, full cloud cover and quite dull in a WNW breeze.

Radar showing heavy rain over the Dingle Peninsula, don't know how accurate that is . Is weisses out there to verify I wonder

And today felt quite pleasant here, with broken cloud and a breeze.

The clouds came in here in West Mayo in late afternoon. Temp dropped significantly. I was sorry to see it go - I was just getting used to it. It's overcast and somewhat dull here now, no direct sunlight and the 'buzz' of the good weather is gone all of a sudden.

Couldn't disagree more. I'm sick of the rain, sick of cold temps, sick of wishing I could afford to go abroad for 2 weeks, sick of that nauseating "Irish grey" we seem to get 360 days of the year. I love this weather. The country can burn for the next 2 months for all I care, I'm enjoying every second

That happened in cork earlier. It broke up again and it's not completely cloudless but it's still warm enough.

Overcast in West Clare, it's a strange sight!

Andy From Sligo

I'm in county Sligo - what a sharp difference in temps - 16:00 @30'c - 21:15 @17.6'c and very blustery - no rain showers at all yet

Brittas Bay, wicklow sunrise at 5:03am this morning. Glorious, could feel the warmth as soon as it rose.

Rock Lesnar

Glorious day here and still clear sky here in north east meath but it seems cloudy to the south of us and moving this way

Kermit.de.frog

It will probably be a little disappointing in the west and north west tomorrow, cloudy and grey (but dry)

Eastern and southeastern parts should have glorious sunshine again and very warm. I expect a big contrast in the temperature profile and a tight gradient between the haves and have nots!
