Saturday's June 22nd East-West divide in the country for sunshine hours. The East started off hazy sunshine, then some cloud and then clear skies from lunchtime till night time. Not so much of a East-West divide in temps though.

Turned into a beautiful evening in Kildare with a fabulous sunset

Dublin Airport has seen 110.1 hrs of sun up to June 24th, compare that with 183 hrs in June 2018 up to the 24th (which finished with 268.6 hrs).

Today's max temperatures, majority of the country in the mid to high teens with the mid-west just nudging into the 20C.

Today's temperatures in the UK very different from what was predicted up to yesterday. The heat not really making it past the English channel.

Our max temperature was at 903PM 21.2c

Nice sunny day with a high of 22.1c today.
Feels almost like holidays atm ...

This is what I mean. We literally have high pressure right over us and all we’re getting is cloud.

Can the weather experts explain why that happens? Is it because we’re surrounded by the sea? Like I thought high pressure usually meant good weather in summer.

I mean you’d see more sun sometimes between the showers with low pressure right over us.

*sigh*

Am no expert just what i understand. cloud cover trapped under a high pressure is a nightmare to both predict or forecast. Most of the time HP would mean dry and clear conditions but not always. With LP south west creating a upward draft of moisture resulting to dull and cloudy conditions. Thursday HP will nudge closer so we should have a better chance of some warm sunny weather across the country.

Thursday the entire country is under thickness values over 570 dm and 850 mb temps approach 20 C so if it can't happen then, it likely won't happen in this spell. (meaning a 29-30 C temperature)

Folks can someone explain why the yr app is showing max of 22 for dub for Thur and fri?

Do they know something ?

Sounds about right. Wind will be off the cool Irish Sea which will moderate the temperature near the East coast, Dublin included. Pretty much normal during anticyclonic weather.

Met forecast reigning in temps. For my area anyway.

More of the 19 and 20 rather than the 23 to 25 earlier.

France on Thursday and Friday. Different (French) models.
Easy to see records tumbling all over the place if this comes off. (Highest ever recorded is 44.1°)

And Trump says it isn't real.

Those temperatures in northern France are likely to result in fatalities. They're not much more geared up for that heat than we are. I mean most houses don't have air conditioning or anything like that. Summer's reliably hotter than here but not at all extreme.

Hopefully it's not as extreme as that model.

They'll be okay. Even though few houses have air-con, they all have shutters and that makes a huge difference (as my Irish visitors find out when they ignore my instructions to keep them closed throughout the day :pac: )

Also, the multiple fatalities arising from the heatwave of 2003 really shocked the authorities into getting their act together, so there is a plan canicule already in place (and now activated), with lessons learnt in one part of France easily adaptable to another.

Where I'm working this week, the forecast peak has been brought forwards to this afternoon: 38°C (37° back home, just on the edges of that 40°C zone), then progressively cooler each day till the weekend. Cooler being a relative term, obviously. I reckon all my onions will have bolted by the time I get back.

I wanna tell you something about Anders Celcius and Daniel Fahrenheit....
Those guys are losers. Big losers. Fake biographies. Probably Muslim fathers...

15 degrees and overcast in Dublin.

Another poor morning in Dublin. Again the sun promised in just yesterday’s forecast has gone.

Again, we’ve probably a better chance of sun once the “good” weather goes and low pressure returns.

It’s so frustrating that when you literally have high pressure slap bang over the country the weather can be so poor, in eastern counties at least.

What charts or sites are best for capturing cloud cover? I find ME can be quite poor in situations like these though it’s always a difficult thing to forecast.

The NW spent much of last years summer under similar gloomy conditions while the rest of the country had the best summer in decades. Maritime climate unfortunately.

https://meteoradar.co.uk/clouds-sun-UK-Ireland is updated every 5 mins . Looks like much of Britain is covered in cloud too. For sun in ireland the south coast and the south west seem to be best placed so far today.

Suns currently out in Arklow
I don't know what ye are doing up the road in Dublin to scare it away

Dull and overcast in Firhouse near Tallaght. Very disappointing to have such extensive cloud cover, yesterday was exactly the same and no sunshine at all.
It's not even that warm, only 13 degrees here. What a washout or should I say cloud out.

Keep an eye on that cloud https://meteoradar.co.uk/clouds-sun-UK-Ireland which has been coming in off the Irish sea dissipate in the next couple of hours, thats my prediction at least

Does feel like it could burn off. The sun is there breaking through intermittently and it gets very warm quickly.

Could go the opposite way of course and thicken.
