looks like yesterdays 23.2c at Mount Dillon is the peak of this spell, certainly not to be sniffed at with the equinox now upon us.

I’m not sure what Donegal airport got to yesterday but Magilligan in Derry close to the border reached 23.7c.

a much fresher day today in Meath 18C compared to 22C over the past few days but still lovely and sunny.

Thelonious Monk

Got out of work and it's cloudy now in Dublin ffs, typical

Thunder87

Yep, grey and 14C in Dublin with wind chill making it feel even colder 😑

Going by sat24 it should hopefully clear up again before sunset but after sitting in the office all day looking out at the sun the evening has pretty much gone to waste

15 minutes later, a lovely evening in Dublin with clear cloudless gin blue skies.

Weird how fast that happened…

Yeah I am in Dublin today. After the fog cleared this morning it was glorious until around 5:30pm and then it clouded over. Phoenix Park was stunning in the sunshine. Blue skies again now.

Kutebride

Clouded over Meath before 6pm. Sunset struggling here but we have a wee one.

Was a lovely sunset with calm conditions in county Longford at 19:38.

a swim after work on Inch Beach Kerry and sunset over Sliabh Mish this evening, ditto yesterday evening, lots of people surfing and swimming. No clouds, no wind, just golden sunshine and warmth. Pure bliss.

Fab photos. I was in Fenit looking over at the Dingle penninsula at probably the same time,about 6.30 PM and it was simply stunning. Clear blue skies, warmth and shimmery waters refelecting the amazing light. I'm simply adoring and savouring every minute of this glorious spell and pitying those who picked this week as their one week to fly off elsewhere in search of sun.Lousy timing.

shimmering waters is right , the brilliance of the sun these last few days is unreal! After months of cloud its so welcome. And yes I know a local couple who flew to Portugal this week, missing this glorious weather. You'd be kicking yourself! :-)

Very high tide in rosses pt this evening

Ireland in all it's glory today from Nasa,see link to explore more.

High of 21.8C here near Tralee and currently a cool clear night out at 11.8C, getting up to 22 or 23C fairly widespread tomorrow, Met Eireann saying up to 24C, a bit cooler along the East from onshore breezes perhaps. Good levels of sunshine again.

There's a line of thick cloud zooming into Eastern England currently. Hopefully that doesn't impact our clear blue skies tomorrow but God knows it might. Still I think Mt Dillon might make 25c tomorrow and that's it then. Will never be that high in 2024 again.

Another beautiful sunrise this morning. Just bliss.

Overcast and foggy morning in Galway, hopefully burns off soon

Stunning in Dublin, out and about doing some stuff on the bike and it's just a privilege to be alive on days like this 😍

I don't think we beat 25C all year mainly down to the chilly summer and lack of warmth until September. We will likely beat 25C next summer as this is a very low max temperature even for Ireland.

Meteorite58

Beautiful morning in Kerry getting up to 18 or 19C already.

Blenerville windmill and blue skies just now.

pureza

Just west of Arklow and Gorey on the high ground looking out to Tara hill and the Irish sea-just Beautiful

Currently nudging 21c

Kutebride

Gorgeous morning walking the Hill of Tara Meath(10oc). Its rare to go up on Hill of Tara without a layer for the usual wind there. Tshirt morning there.

19⁰ Meath.

Needmoretea

Lovely pleasant week so far in D9 and another lovely pleasant day today! Sun is a little hazy, there is just the slightest cool breeze lest we get ahead of ourselves. But so lovely to be sitting outside for a few minutes 😁

Elmer Blooker

all eyes were were on Mount Dillon today for a possible 25 but Oak Park and Moore Park are the contenders now, both on 24, Mount Dillon ‘only’ 22.

Yep wind swinging North of East means the far South is doing better today

Nice again in Dublin. Just touching 20º. We haven't got the nice heat the rest of the country is getting this week but I won't complain as our August was much better than the rest of the country.

Dry, sunny and mild is as good as you can get in Ireland in mid September.

On a side note, I thought the comment below interesting. People on here sometimes think we should be 'embarrassed' about our weather for tourists (as if it's anything we can even control in the first place).

As I've often said, many come here for the cooler temps.

"He said that the resort is benefiting this year from mainly US visitors who are avoiding the 40 to 45 degree temperatures of southern European countries and choosing Ireland's cooler climate instead.

"'Coolcations' is the new buzz word and guests are telling us that they are coming here instead of going to southern European countries and prefer Ireland's cooler climate to enjoy the less busy and less frenetic holidays here," he stated.
