Absolute Thunderstorm in Sligo at present. Lashing. Hope this is the cra p before the good part of day. After 2 should be OK but roads flooded right now.

Much lightning?

I'll just pop this here to spread a little cheer and yes those are 26 and 27's from the 06z gfs on day 9

A real tropical style downpour here now in Kildare with very strong winds.

Gonzo

very warm and wet here in Meath, definitely a tropical feel in the air. If only the rain would clear and the sun to pop out it would feel very warm indeed.

Nice afternoon now. Some broken cloud and a bit of that damned wind but nice overall. East Cork

Yes. It's been raining in Leitrim since last October so that's allowed.

Deliciously ironic.

Incorrect. We had sun a few days ago. It was on a morning. Monday if I recall. The local populace remember it well. Songs and poems have been written. Forever known as 'the grand morning so'

Ha, very good!

I'd say I've been in Leitrim about five times and the weather has been OK each time. I went to see John McGahern's grave in Aughawillan one day and the sun was splitting the rocks. In my head, it was going to be raining.

Beautiful part of the world but I think I'd struggle with the winters.

First 20c of the year in South Laois just a short while ago. It's the second latest twenty Celsius since recordings started in mid-2008 with the honour of latest twenty Celsius falling to 2015 when it took us until June 16th to get there. The earliest twenty was in 2011 when April 10th took the prize.

First actual 20c here in Arklow also of this year today

I remember watching the coffin pass. Buried next to the mother. Not that far from his birthplace.

Anyhow rain has stopped and the sun is threatening the clouds. It may shine yet

DOCARCH

Just got an 'alert' from my Netatmo reporting 21.0c atm in Greystones.

Meanwhile, in Crete, most exciting weather phenomenon in the past couple of days was spotting a lonely cloud! 27c atm. 32c expected tomorrow but there are some showers forecast for the weekend.

Beautiful setting for a graveyard at the top of the hill. I met a member of the Leitrim '94 team there while in the graveyard, may have been the caretaker. He seemed utterly taken aback that I was from Cork, interested in McGahern and knew all about the Connacht final success of '94. In that order. We spoke for over an hour.

Very strange considering the lack of below average temperatures this year so far - reminds me of 2014 in a way which was at least followed by a very decent June and July though both years are quite different from one another. Of course there have been cooler periods like the one we just had or late March/early April. They have been the exception rather than the dominance. Conversely in 2015, below average temperatures were more frequent than above average though not exceptionally so. Took until June 16th in 2015 at Dublin Airport here too. We fell short by 0.1C on May 8th this year with 19.9C. Hourly ob was 19.6C at 1600.

20.1C at 1700.

Gonzo

21C here in Meath, the warmest day of the year so far in several counties.

pad199207

Yup. Broke the 20°c mark here in Kildare for the first time this year. 21.2° in fact the high of the day.

sporina

whats the outlook for the summer? anyone know?

pad199207

gorgeous mild evening

lawred2

Real warmth this evening after an abysmal start..

Gonzo

Today was truly a day of two halves. Unsettled this morning but warm rain and then a very warm afternoon with bags of sunshine. Temperature reached 22C in Dublin and the warmest day of the year so far. Temperatures reached 20 to 21C in many parts of Leinster and the midlands making today the warmest day for many places.

Birdnuts

Lights flickering here(Belmullet) and power went off for a while earlier - rough night for mid June!!

appledrop

A beautiful sunny summers morning, but Jaysus the wind is still around.

I didn't get to enjoy weather yesterday evening as only got nice here about 4pm but I'll make up for it today.

KanyeSouthEast

Very gusty in the south east. Sun is in and out plenty of cloud around too. But the most noticeable thing is the wind it’s howling at times. Unfortunately i couldn’t describe it as a beautiful summers morning which for me would be blue skies unbroken sun shine gentle breeze and warm temps. But that’s the thing about weather everyone’s perceptions are different.

adocholiday

Met Eireann forecasting gusts up to near 70kmph later today for the Rathdrum area which is not insignificant with everything in full leaf. Really sick of the wind now it's been a near constant all month.

pauldry

Not sure what we are getting in Sligo today. Supposed to be wind and rain but wind and sun so far. Hate wind for running but love it for Strandhill and Mullaghmore as it blows your brains out like a rock concert!!

highdef

Windy, gusty and mostly cloudy in Trim, Meath. Not sure of the temperature but it looks unpleasant outside so I have no intention of going outside unless that wind ceases.

Storm 10

Very windy in Galway today and yesterday gusts are very strong, Coastguard Helicopter landed at Galway Hospital in the early hours from the Aran Islands in very poor conditions wind definitely gale force , what a service they provide.
