Earliest frost since 2010 which occurred on August 30th (also Mount Dillon).

looking at the charts I wouldn’t rule out 25c at that station next week, Michelle Dillon (ironic) showed 22c for next Tuesday on her chart last night but I think a few degrees could be added on to that particularly as each day should become progressively warmer.
It’s set up nicely for that part of the country.

2C this morning here in Leitrim. Fire lit last night. Logs and turf, don't tell Mr. Ryan.

Very calm morning but sort of cloudy in Dublin. Yesterday was sunny but breezy. I do not wish to complain :-) but I'd really like a sunny, calm couple of hours just to skive off work and sit outside for a bit?

And we know what winter 2010 brought so who knows 🤷‍♂️ maybe a colder winter ahead 🤔

Very cold and wet in Sligo . 9mm of rain and 10c but it seems very localised.

My actual weather station. And it's right coz it's been lashing since 1pm on and off

The sun is moving south right now at its fastest rate of the year. Even over the next 7 days it will weaken noticeably.

I suspect the best temperature next week will be 23c in favoured spots. And that max will come quite late in the day with weaker insolation.

But in any case it will be a fab week overall. September will end up the best month for “summery” type weather of the year. Next week will likely be the longest settled, summer like week of the year too.

2010 was a special event though. The airmass we had in the run up to Xmas originated from Alaska and crossed the pole. Once in a century type event

Naturally, it'll only be during the week, feck the people with weekends off!

I see the forecast have been dulled a little, my sunny 23°c has been replaced with a mostly cloudy 21°c for Tuesday. In fairness it was raining this morning and Met Éireann said 0% chance. I'm a bigger fool for checking it!

Well that's just awful to know that :( here's hoping something similar will happen this winter although I wouldn't be surprised if winter was milder than the summer especially nowadays anything can happen

Rain last night and lashing this morning. 12C. Muck but warmer muck.

Breezy in Dublin but Sun is out and there is a lovely warmth to it

Nice week ahead

highdef

There was a spell of sunshine in D13 not long ago but it's clouded over again. Very breezy with some fairly decent gusts but it's fairly mild with temperatures in the high teens.

Gonzo

Today feels much milder than the past 2 days, mild enough to wear a tshirt again despite the wind and cloud.

acequion

Fine spell next week will be very welcome as this past week has been utter crap.The low temps so early in the year are a killer, especially after such a cold summer.

pauldry

Sun out in Sligo now with gale n mist.

.Donegal.

Austria not sure on exact elevation but supposedly anywhere from 1600m to 2500m.

Red rain warnings for Germany,Poland , Czechia and red snow warning for higher elevations in Austria. It has been named cyclone Boris. Tweet I read mentioned it could rain/snow non stop in some areas until Tuesday

appledrop

It's very windy but very mild in Dublin.

pauldry

It's very misty in Sligo. Invisible mist. Radar doesn't pick it up. Met has it stopping around 6. It's been misting all day. Completely miserable like yesterday. I doubt itl clear before darkness.

pauldry

Clearance arriving in Achill and Belmullet now about 3 hours later than forecast. Sure theyr rarely right.

pauldry

Rain finally easing now but still mist to come at time. Have to get that East wind in or everything goes belly up.

mcburns07

Absolutely shite morning in Cork, thankfully the afternoon should be a lot better.

appledrop

Raining this morning in NCD, it's a drizzly rain so it doesn't look that bad but you will be soaked quick enough if no rain gear on.
