    just after seeing the forecast on met eireann, tomorrow will be mild but a bit of a shock to the system with a drop of up to 10C. Tonight the east could hang on to 20C throughout the night but will fall to 18C during tomorrow daytime, then temps in and around the 18-21C mark between Thursday and next Monday.

    18-21c is grand though.

    With the breeze dropping off and the now cloudless sky in west Dublin, I have just recorded 26.2°. It will be interesting to see what Casement recorded at 5pm. It's about 3.5km from here. If that breeze and cloudier spell hadn't occurred earlier, I reckon I would have hit 28°. My all time record is 28.2°in July 2013.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    Yes is going to be oppressive tonight not much reduction in temps at all in the east . Mins of 20c in Dublin. Let's see if we can get done thunderstorms to make that reading 14


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Yeah I have dropped to 27.4c now so 28.6c is my confirmed high.

    My warmest days on record

    1. 1 August 1995, 30.4c
    2. 19 July 2006, 30.3c
    3. 9 July 2013, 29.7c
    4. 2 August 1995, 29.5c
    5. 2 June 2009, 28.9c
    6. 10 July 2013, 28.9c
    7. 11 July 2013, 28.8c
    8. 18 July 2006, 28.8c
    9. 19 July 2016, 28.6c
    10. 28 June 1995, 28.6c

    So this day ranks as my 9th warmest day ever recorded.

    I just noticed something?

    19 July 2006: 30.3c
    19 July 2013: 28.5c
    19 July 2016: 28.6c

    Hit 25'6C here earlier in an easterly sea breeze, amazing, never ever had temps approaching that in an easterly before.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,047 ✭✭✭Clonmel1000


    Bit of a change here already beautiful blue skies replaced by hazy sunshine and cloud. I'm not kidding.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,475 ✭✭✭Elliott S


    Apparently 30 degrees in Ballinasloe nearing 6pm! Wonder where they get their readings?

    Had a high of 29.4 at 16.17, happy with that :), has dropped back a bit now, getting quite cloudy to my west, lets see what this evening brings.

    Completely overcast here in Dungarvan now, whereas an hour ago there was almost no clouds!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭fraxinus1

    Thanks I thought I was the only one!! What was it like there yesterday as a matter of interest?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭fraxinus1


    I reckon Casement could have gotten the 30° today only for the breeze between 12 and 3pm. Funny how it just died away in the afternoon but that's typical of hot weather in coastal areas.


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,283 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH


    Completely calm now here in Dublin 16. High level cloud has rolled in from the south, and, temp rising slightly now. 25.3c atm.

    Meh, I pretty much always find it good. How do we know people's readings that they post here are any more accurate?

    One would presume the hottest temperatures in a day would happen around midday or so. But they seem to happen a lot later in the day, or am I taking things up wrong?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,936 ✭✭✭LEIN


    Clouding over from the south here after what was a mostly clear day.

    For what the weather is actually like outside it is usually way off the mark, but they use the closet met station to your location for temperatures.

    Funnily enough it was started in Penn State which has one of the best Meteorology departments in the world in the early 60's.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,999 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    much cooler conditions already into the very far south-west.

    Well we're here now in the mid 2010s, so that's WAY BACK. Technology has advanced soooo much since then.

    I think there is a good chance the department might not be trapped in the 60's, something about it still being the top rated department in the US...;)

    Midday is generally not when the sun is at it's strongest and most definitely not when we are in summer time (BST/IST). Midday timewise is 12:00 as we all know but midday in terms of solar midday is later, when the sun reaches it's highest point. For example, today it was at 13:31 in Dublin. At that time, the sun reached the highest point in the sky but even after that, the heat still builds for several hours under clear skies and optimum conditions as the land/air is already pre-heated so it easier for the temperature to rise further than it is from first thing in the morning when it is naturally the coolest time of the day.

    Exactly, Xenji. And like said, how do we know the temps people post here are accurate?

    Sligo still 25c but now 22.6c as clouds hv rolled in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,242 ✭✭✭pauldry


    Why did Met Eireann deny the existance of cloud to the South

    Satellite never lies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,243 ✭✭✭✭Oscar Bravo


    They would appear to have been more concerned with breaking the 30 degree mark going by twitter posts etc, has been cloudy here since around 6pm with a rapid fall back in temperature although its still mild.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 735 ✭✭✭Moo Moo Land
