    Bright, pleasant, sun in and out of the clouds. Maybe around 21c. Quite breezy which gives it a fresher feeling, south of Athenry.

    Lovely light mist here. Better day than expected. We got little rain so far this month in Kilkenny.

    Pretty murky day here in Limk. 19.6c atm in a blustery Southerly wind.

    Looks like November, grey with low cloud. A bit disappointing so far.

    Some places in the country have received more than 30mm in a day on more than one occasion this month.
    In Kilkenny we still have not even received 30mm for the month.
    17.3C here too :D

    Looks like a cracker in Dublin, of course I'm away for it. Are we talking riots in Portmarnock level weather?

    Theres only a small possibility including in Dublin overnight,see the thunder thread
    If there is,I'll throw up a live video but its low likelihood
    Clouds thinning a bit now in Arklow suns poking through, might see a 20 today,gas thing is,it might still be warmer at midnight than it is now down here
    Currently 18.3c
    Dew point 16c

    Dew point so close to air temp is a welcoming environment for visiting thunderstorms spawned elsewhere,but will they come?

    Door stops are your friend in that situation but if the temperature outside is already warmer than inside, opening any doors or windows will only increase the internal temperature. Keep curtains closed on windows facing the sun too.

    The above probably only applies to the Dublin/Meath area right now though.

    Just back from a week in Spain where it was about 35 degrees and very humid, just stepping outside would make you sweat!

    Currently about 17 degrees here in cork city with grey skies and a bit of wind. Meh. Sad

    At least you had the last week good. It’s another rubbish day here today cloudy misty and dark. I’m all over the midlands today and it’s replicated from Laois Kildare into Offaly.

    Naturally, inland stations will be warmer in summer and colder in winter than coastal stations though there is a UHI effect for urban based stations like Phoenix Park and then there's stations like Shannon Airport which has been a highly debatable station since the June 2018 heatwave (rightly so).

    Shannon easily has the highest summer mean temperature (1981-2010) of 15.6c whilst Knock Airport has a summer mean temperature of 13.3c (which is not surprising given the fact that it is on a hill if I remember correctly). In terms of Dublin stations, Phoenix Park has the slight edge over Casement Aerodrome due to the UHI effect that I mentioned with a summer mean temperature of 14.8c whilst Casement has 14.7c.

    Mullingar has the coldest winter mean temperature (with the exception of Knock Airport) with 4.7c whilst Sherkin Island has the warmest at 7.7c. In terms of Dublin stations, Casement Aerodrome is the coldest with a mean temperature of 5.2c.

    In terms of the current 25 synoptic stations, it is indeed and it's the highest since 20 July 2013. Highest minima on record using these stations' data:

    1. 19.3c on 20 July 2013 (Belmullet)
    2. 19.0c on 14 July 1983 (Cork Airport)
    2b. 19.0c on 2 August 1995 (Roches Point)
    2c. 19.0c on 3 August 1995 (Shannon Airport)
    3. 18.9c on 22 July 2019 (Shannon Airport)
    4. 18.6c on 13 July 1983 (Shannon Airport)
    5. 18.5c on 2 July 1976 (Belmullet)
    5b. 18.5c on 23 August 2003 (Shannon Airport)

    18.4c at Phoenix Park as a minimum on 6th September 2016.. no wonder why I hated that night.

    Data from Met Éireann.

    Stunning morning. Donegal. Plenty wind on the Wild Atlantic West but don't need jacket. Warm.
    More cloud now at the moment

    That is really impressive considering Malin Head often seems to lose out on heat no matter what direction the warm weather seems to come from in the summer time. It shares max temperature at 2pm with Phoenix Park currently. I wonder will yesterday's 26.6C Ireland peak at Phoenix Park be surpassed today? It certainly felt warmer today then yesterday at noon when I was out in the city centre as the fairly brisk breeze from yesterday is lacking today.

    Well MidMan you might recall our quarrels re when proper summer starts and my dislike of unseasonal hot weather. That's because I really go for it during the three summer months.

    But for all my love of travel there really is nowhere like home. If only we got summers many of us wouldn't budge.:)


    You must be a secondary school teacher to have that much annual leave!!! :eek::eek: JEALOUS!:p
