Oak Park 22 degrees

What's the technical reason certain patches of cloud get 'stuck'? Referencing the patch over Dublin central on satellite currently - plenty of burnoff and movement around Dublin spreading from the south but have a stubborn patch over the city that hasn't budged on multiple frames. Is it convergence?

Sitting here in the garden in Dublin, some cloud but nice sunshine and 20 degrees

21 degrees at Phoenix park and Dublin airport according to met eireann website 3pm readings

I disagree, I have had loads of days in T-shirt and shorts over the past month or two. The weather has been fantastic, not particularly warm but certainly mild enough for a T-shirt in the garden and out on walks. Today very balmy

Where are you based though? In Dublin the temp has rarely gotten above 15 or 16 degrees until today according to all the daily data on MET E.

If you're out your back garden sitting by a concrete wall in a sun trap then yes, you might have felt warm, but in general temps in Dublin have only been around average for May - and much colder at night.

Everyone's different of course but for me it needs to be at least 18 degrees to start feeling warm. We haven't really had that in Dublin until today bar two or three days.

I am near the coast, maybe it’s just me but certainly lots of people out in T-shirt’s the last couple of months. Like I said it hasn’t been overly warm but very mild. I see it’s hit 22 now in Dublin

It doesn't take much for the people of the F.L.A.B. (Fat Lardy Arms Brigade) to strip off at the first sign of sunshine, regardless of actual temperature. It has been nice in suntraps alright but most days there has been a biting cold breeze while out and about.

Today is lovely, though.

beautiful day now in Meath, first proper sunshine since last Friday. Temperature currently 20C. Phoenix Park, Oak Park and Casement all at 22C.

Oscar Bravo

Warm sunshine here in Castlebar. Nice evening after a cloudy start.

Harry Palmr

Lovely day, very quiet this morning but quite an onshore type breeze this afternoon. Wall to wall sun. Like summer really. Speaking of which looking at the F1 chart (ECM) it has a HP centred slap bang over us for May 29th.

I'm with you. Here in D9, while the endless blue skies were still most enjoyable, on the days where the temperature sat at 15/16 degrees with a breeze you could feel that the air was not warm even in direct sunlight. The air had a bite to it. Compare it to the sunshine currently and 20 odd degrees - it feels warm outside, no need to hide behind a 10ft wall to hide from breeze. Lovely.

It's fairly obvious though from my years on here that many folk find 15-18 degrees very pleasant if not warm. While a strange concept to myself, nothing wrong with it at all!

Casement 22 degrees at 5pm. Not bad at all.

Biting cold breeze, steady on!

Not as nice a day as yesterday all told. Sun is a bit hazy and that annoying breeze is back. It looks nicer outside than it actually is.

Said breeze is off the cold sea here in Arklow gusting above 40kmh
Its therefore 7c COLDER than yesterday

Gonzo

similar to yesterday here at Dunshaughlin, very light wind, temperature currently 20C. Might get a degree or so warmer than yesterday.

Gonzo

amazing day here in Meath, currently 21C, very close to 22C which makes this the warmest day of the year at my location and it certainly feels it, barely a breeze outside and unbroken if slightly hazy sunshine.

Cracking day in Dublin but windy, doesnt bother me when its warm.

Fairly breezy here around Rathkenny, doesnt take anything from the day though, its fantastic

Seems all we have to do to fix our climate is to stop all cars and planes and weather patterns change instantly...if recent weather is anything to go by...

When you think it was very cold and wet up to near the end of June last year, we've been getting away with murder for the past while. I hope we're not going to be made pay for it now in summer.

I feel cheated for the winter and spring, it feels like it was starting to get a bit cold and then all of a sudden it was summer. Rain and blust would be welcomed!

MT is adamant June will start out cool and wet. Let’s hope he is wrong. Do not want a repeat of last June. More of this kind of weather please during the summer months.

SleetAndSnow

Nice day in cork city, about 17 degrees and sunny. Warm! Cool breeze but its nice when your out walking.

Phoenix Park 23C, warmest day of the year for Dublin so far?

Reached 22C here in Meath about an hour ago, warmest day of the year here too. Hopefully we will see many more days like this between now and the end of September with a few properly hot days too.

We had 6 months of what felt like rain and wind up until March, after a non existent summer. It was the worst spell of weather I've ever experienced, the trauma of it will be passed down for generations. Get outside and enjoy this sunny bliss.
