Nice blue skies in Cork City. About 14 degrees, breeze is a bit nippy though. Still wouldn't be wearing shorts!

Loving the blue sky though

Harry Palmr

milky enough sun this morning but now blue skies ahoy albeit with a breeze (no harm though unless you are on the beach probably)

Orange warning for forest fires in Limerick?

Strange mist in Dublin 4, like smoke nearly. Any idea what it could be? Its at eye level between buildings

4 pm.

Dublin Airport 4.5 km
Johnstown Castle 5 km
Finner 6 km
Sligo Airport 8 km
Casement 9 km
....
Valentia 35 km
Shannon Airport 40 km

Air pollution? Haze?

Donegal Storm

Meh, another crap murky day with low visibility, haven't been able to see the horizon all week. Warmer today at least

That haze is really taking the pleasantness of the weather away for me, it's as good as overcast weather. It's annoying in the same way drizzle is. It's nicer now though.

Some changes in the forecast heading in to next week? It's possible we could avoid the fronts with their associated rain bands which would prolong the good weather (still cooler than the weekend though).

And 6 hours later all up in smoke. :pac:

Yes satellite interesting too. If I didnt see forecast Id be thinking it was going to lash

just about squeezed one good day out of the upcoming fine spell here,very hazy today,stiff sea breeze from the northwest has developed in contrast to yesterdays light,warm land breeze from the southeast,plenty of misery drifting about of the coast in the form of banks of sea cloud,becoming progressively cloudier from tomorrow as a cold front and its associated misery drifts in,cloudier still on sunday,with patches of drizzle,supresed anaemic temperatures of around 13 degrees in a chilly westerly airflow.

anyways enjoy the long weekend if you are eleswhere in the country.


f***s all the barbecue meat into the freezer.

Just saw reports that Air Quality is 'very poor' in Dublin atm. May be the cause of the haze in Dublin?

John.Icy

S.Kildare. 20 degrees.

But the haze and high cloud is shocking. It's like shade temperatures everywhere out there so not actually feeling all to different than a 15 degrees on a clear sunny day.

Hopefully a nice burn off to clearer skies before early evening as per the last few days in Dublin.

Meteorite58

21.2C an hour ago near Tralee, probably a degree up on that now. Driving around in short sleeves and windows down. Milky blue hazy sky.
