    Beautiful day yesterday and this morning is probably the best morning of the summer absolutely glorious. Such a wonderful sight after weeks of gloom.

    Markree and Shannon Airport managed the highest maximums yesterday with both having 23.6c and there were a lot of other close contenders.

    Athenry - 23.0c
    Casement Aerodrome - 23.1c
    Claremorris - 23.2c
    Dunsany - 23.1c
    Mt. Dillon - 23.4c
    Mullingar - 23.2c
    Oak Park - 23.3c
    Phoenix Park - 23.1c

    Sherkin Island recorded a max of only 18.7c and Roches Point recorded only 19.2c in contrast to these widespread 23c maxes.

    Today will see the highest August maximums in 3-4 years in places but most parts in 10 years (since 2006).

    Dublin Airport recorded a minimum of 6.4c yesterday whilst Phoenix Park recorded 7.7c and a range of 15.4c between the max and min, that's quite a large range.

    Very warm, but a bit of thin low cloud kinda weakening the sunshine by an extent. Hopefully it will burn off.

    The rainfall coming however will make up for the lack of very wet days since June here, I need it.

    Down in Cork atm and a lot of the grass around here is going brown. Soil looks quite dry as well. Hasn't rained here in quite a while it seems, very surprising considering its been very overcast over the last week or so (for the most part). You wouldn't have noticed the lack of rain.

    It got up to 25.8C in Castlebar today, clouds have started rolling in since 5 though but it is still around 23C, would love a repeat of the light show we got on the 19th, but that looks highly unlikely.

    fantastic 2 days here, 23C yesterday and 25C today. All downhill from tomorrow, however it looks to stay reasonably mild, warm at times especially in the east and south-east.

    Already signs of high pressure building for first week of September.

    Great couple of days here near Tralee with a max of 24.2C both days. Clouding over more now and getting darker, rain skirting up along the coast but nothing here yet. HIRLAM prediction of rainfall accumulation by 12.00 tomorrow, rain slow to move Eastwards.

    Yeah, Met Éireann said that there is spot flooding likely on roads in the west tonight giving very poor driving conditions.
