Their record for June is 41c I think so just observing that they seem to be heading in that general direction of their hottest June day ever.

Think it reached something close when I was there c.2003. Some lightning show.

Oh ok , didn’t realize this was a worldwide weather forum

You're right. They're a daft lit. Our weather is self-contained within our EEZ and land area.

Where's the heatwave? It's a grey overcast day. Muggy. But horrible.

Its only "almost" a heatwave.

Currently 17c still in Sligo n people in Jackets but warm

An "Irish" heatwave

What heatwave?

It's a lovely overcast day with a cool breeze, now this is heaven to me.

There are so many descriptions out there for humidity.....

Muggy, Close, Heavy, Oppressive, Clammy, anyone add to the list!

Irish cloud cover can be very stubborn. I remember being on a flight to the south of Spain in 2012 during our awful summer- shortly after take off as we broke through the cloud cover a small traveler child announced- ‘Jasus mammy, it’s sunny already’. Always makes me smile.

Someone said to me earlier "Jaysus,the weather is really down on top of you today".

not really a great day here in Meath, wall to wall cloud, temperatures around 17 to 18C and feeling very muggy. I'm not sure we'll see 20C here today either, maybe tomorrow. Best chances for breaching the 20C barrier will be Thursday and Friday.

Relentlessly cloudy in West Clare.

GFS temperature predictions: These definitely look undercooked for Thursday and Friday.

Tomorrow looks warm in the western half of the country with temperatures reaching 21 or possibly 22C. More like 17to 20C in Leinster and fresh along the eastern coasts possibly only reaching 14C. (East coastal parts of UK also looking cool).



Thursday see's 22 or 23C in western parts and high teens in Leinster. What has happened to the 30C+ over London? These don't look right at all.



Friday see's cooler fresher conditions into western and southwestern Ireland and temperatures reaching 20 or 21C over Leinster:



Saturday see's temperatures reaching 20 or 21C early on Saturday, but cooler conditions taking over by the evening:



Sunday is back to jumpers and jeans with low to mid teens:


Considering the uppers on Thursday and Friday, these temperatures do not look right at all, they are extremely conservative.

GFS hasn't been right since the so called upgrade a few weeks ago.
I see it everyday as it is used to generate forecasts using the Wxsim software on my website.
But in general terms today i see temps forecast for the next few days down on what was being forecast yesterday. This is the case across all the models.

definitely the GFS has been having problems since the new model was introduced, when that model was known as the GFS Parallel, it was also very unreliable with very poor profiles over last winter. I'm still expecting 24 or 25C in parts on Thursday and Friday, maybe a 26C.

But yeah, this warm spell has definitely be downgraded overall from the charts we were looking up to yesterday. Even today is several degrees cooler than what was expected, just average temperatures here today for the time of year.

This is hillarious.

We cant even almost have a heatwave this year.

Down from 27c now to 22c

Ehm......ahemmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hopefully July will have another go though. Im positive about July and August.

Also I see the "Big Freeze" Sundays are continuing. ALL the Sundays in June in Sligo have been freezing and raining. Over 40 percent of our monthly rain has fallen on Sunday

Currently 19c in Arklow with some sun

So murky in Dublin at the moment the Bailey lighthouse on Howth head has just sparked up. A cool sea breeze here too, not much of a summer here by the east coast.

Storm 10

Complete cloud cover in Galway all day no sun temp 16 degrees

fresher here in Meath too over the past hour with a rather cool breeze, temperature holding at 18C since 12pm. No sunshine at all today either.

18c now in Sligo 19c in Markree

A reasonable day nonetheless.

Still though this time last year I had swam in the sea 14 times

This year nil...as cold made it too icy

Lovely afternoon here in West mayo, skies begining to clear, the air is warm and thick.

SleetAndSnow

Overcast, around 18 degrees and humid in cork city today.

MidMan25

Really disappointing today, just an average overcast summer's day in Ireland. Hopefully the next few days can deliver something, we've gone from mid 20s and a chance of some nice thunderstorms in the South to low 20s and no thunderstorms.

Mortelaro

Its actually quite pleasant here in Arklow and feeling warm out of the breeze

Gonzo

this spell has certainly been watered down alot, we are already feeling the effects of that now with just average temperatures for today and probably tomorrow. However, after a few cool days from Sunday, things look good into the first and possibly second week of July with mostly dry, settled and warm conditions, nothing terribly hot on the horizon but decent temperatures should occur. July is certainly shaping up to be considerably milder and dryer than this June, let's hope the models stick with this, I've a positive feeling about July.

" 'Tis down on the ground".

An expression I've heard here in Limerick a few times.

Of course you'd get blown away at the seaside!

Isn't Dunshaughlin in the N3 direction on higher ground than inland Dublin, hence a little bit windier?

Reached 20.2C here then back down to 19.9C , a gentle breeze in a tiny bit of hazy sunshine.
