Stunning morning in cork so far, yesterday was warm but slightly overcast. Today is the same heat but with blue skies and sun. Bliss.

Does the 'facts' about the average temperature take in the wind chill factor?

We've had a lot of easterly and north easterly winds this past month or so and thats one of the reason some people find it colder than norm.

Yesterday afternoon was glorious with the sun and blue skies. Very little cloud made a fine change. Managed to watch a pass of the ISS in clear skys at 10.30pm.

Clear blue skies all day in S Wexford.

I could see that on sat24. Unfair. Enjoy

Nice, if cool, morning. Warm early afternoon but cloudy again now in Dublin.

Whatever about temperature, it's been quite cloudy the past 10 days or so given the dominance of HP over us.

One thing Met E really struggles with (and many other forecasters too it has to be said) is forecasting cloud cover in summer.

I've lost count of the number of days over the years where sunny skies have been forecast as little as 24 hours in advance only for it not to materialise.

It's definitely going to be dry and warm(ish) over the next week or so. It's anyone's guess really as to whether it'll be sunny though.

yeah today was very dissapointing, thick cloud cover all day.

Thelonious Monk

I managed to sunbathe for like an hour yesterday in Dublin at lunchtime. Beautiful again today, enjoy it.

Gonzo

After the greyness of yesterday, the sun is back shining today thankfully and feeling warm too.

Another stunning morning in Wexico South

Started off very grey this morning in Cork City but sun is out now, thankfully.

esposito

Glorious sunny day in Dublin and feeling warm. Long may this continue.

Meteorite58

Overcast start again here in Tralee, light cool breeze, jacket zipped up, signs that the cloud is lightening so hopefully some sunshine in the afternoon. Just seeing that cloud bank over Connaught twisting our way, hope it burns off some bit before reaching here.

Yeah our good weather in Connaught keeps getting pushed back last week it was due to be 21c last Saturday in Sligo but it rained all day and then it was pushed to 21c this Tuesday but it was 14c then they pushed it to Friday but that's now 16c and now Tuesday of next week so 10 days later than they originally forecast.

The main thing that forecasts weather in Ireland in Summer is wind. Where the wind is from that area will be cool n cloudy. The wind is Northwesterly. It might go Easterly next week. Might.

.Donegal.

Was a great evening yesterday not a cloud in the sky, It’s that time of the year again that when it’s cloudless it never really gets properly dark up here. The sky towards the northern horizon always has a light/blue tinge to it.

Cloudy today but still nice out.

pauldry

Its misting again here and quite breezy too. Looks heavy around Grange direction but that never shows on radar. Probably like the rain in Strabane currently. 14c but when sun peeps out its up to 15 or 16c

OldRio

Very cloudy after a beautiful early morning.

lucalux

its saying 20C for where i am and it does not at all feel it - or maybe there's just something wrong with me (above and beyond the normal amount i mean)

SleetAndSnow

Grey start in cork city but about 22 now and sunny! Just back from laying on the beach for a few hours!

Gonzo

Was a peach of a day here in Meath until 20 minutes ago, band of cloud has rolled in from the west and looks like that's the sun gone for the evening.

Cluedo Monopoly

Gorgeous day in Galway. Lots of blue skies and there is heat in that sun. Ground has really dried out.

.Donegal.
