    Full cloud cover on the Laois/ kildare border temps around 20 disappointing considering we didn’t get anything major yesterday.

    Cork airport reading 14 degrees, my garden is reading about 16/17 still. Crazy the difference a day can make. Very overcast still and was drizzling earlier

    those colours are thunder and lightning markers, and not just rainfall, could be some serious action in Galway and Mayo today.

    Edit: looks like it may miss land altogether and stay out to sea.

    even more OH DEAR. Mentions 1 pm on the page but no mention of it on the forecast.

    So the head
    ache/migraine was and is horribly accurate..

    Rain starting here and i think from the map Galway is getting thunder?

    22C here inland north Dublin in our proper first heatwave day, hardly any breeze at all unlike yesterday's strong wind. I see that cloud coming but I think it won't hang around longer as per Satellite tracking, its moving northwards.

    Finally surpassed the 20 degree barrier here in Dublin 11. It's now 22.3C with hazy skies and very little wind but I can see the cloud approaching on the satellite picture.

    it's a cruel joke with this spell really, we had relatively cool temps all week with a chilly wind when the plume was over us, but now that it is moving away and cloud is building we finally lose the cool temperatures and strong chilly wind. Many of us won't even get one proper warm and sunny day out of this. Enjoy the few hours of sun and warmth that we do get.

    it's beautiful here at Dunshaughlin too, with a temperature of 21C, but that sun is getting more hazy, could be cloudy again by the afternoon.

    The warmth of the last few days has been lovely in the south midlands. Really nice that summer has arrived after the low temperatures throughout June.

    Last year was a 'front ended' spring and summer, May to the last 7-10 days of July brilliant. Perhaps this will be a 'back ended' one with July, August and much of September being summery. Warm Augusts seem to be a thing of the past. 2010 was fair enough but i think you really have to go back to the amazing August of 2003 for a really warm, dry month. Only surpassed by August 1995 in my memory. Too young to remember 1976.

    It would be great if we get a good August, those are very rare indeed. We usually end up with better luck in September, I can remember several decent Septembers but only 1 August in my lifetime.

    The main cloud bank is burning off before it makes further inroads East - so Wicklow/Dublin/Meath etc should be fine beyond haze it seems for the next few hours.

    Those under the cloud blanket - just better hope it shifts in enough time to be worth it. Many a fine spell I've had cloud eventually clear by 7 or 8pm, useless at that point for heat building!

    100% overcast in Kildare.

    very hazy sun here in Meath, sky is a greyish blue colour, wouldn't take much for the sun to be completely covered. Temperature still 21C since 12pm, the very hazy sun keeping temperature from shooting up more.

    National mean max temps (averaged over 3 days) showing that we are now well in a warmer phase:

    June on the whole though likely to finished below average by about 0.5c generally speaking, though values on a more local scale will naturally vary.

    I'm S.Kildare! Big difference in the sunshine levels on the train town between Dublin/Kildare border areas and Kildare/Laois/Carlow border areas to be fair.

    Btw, humidity down here on the Davis is only 59% so not that humid at all and dew point is just 13c
    Neither of which are conducive to thunder anytime soon unless of course this SE to S flow we have now advects in more French air over time tomight to interact with the front?
