On wednesday 27 May 2020 at 21:33 UK time . A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will blast off from Cape Canaveral and will pass over Ireland about 10 minutes later.

Probably a bit to bright here in the west but some in the east may get a glimpse.

Doubtful. I'm in Bray on the East coast and put the bins out tonight at 21.40 and it was still too bright to see anything Astronomical.

After a dull start today it turned out to be a cracker here.
Looks like a clear skies so a good night for star gazing.
Two passes of the iss this evening, first one at 10.05 - 10.12 W to E but will probably be too bright out for most.
2nd bright pass at 11.42 - 11.47 W to E.

Also theres a Japanese Htv supply capsule due to dock with the Iss tomorrow that may be visible at 11.10 - 11.15 W to E, it wont be near as bright and may be confused with other satellites going W to E.

And after sunset look N,West

Great looking forecast from met eireann after the news. Looking like it might get up around 24-25 degrees later this week. Low 20s earlier in the week

Looks like most had some sunshine today, fantastic day here near Tralee, blue skies all day and a beautiful evening now. Looks like we are entering a much warmer spell for most , improving from Tuesday and getting very warm Weds and Thurs and keeping on the warm side up to and over the June Bank Holiday weekend .

East Cork has disimproved.... it was lovely earlier on and calm but the onshore breeze has now piped up a bit.

Sunny spells in cork city now, some clouds keep coming and blocking out the sun! Mild even in the shade though and warm when the sun is out.

Mortelaro

19c and beautiful also here in Arklow
SW breeze gusting 30kmh that feels warm for a change

Xenji

A bright and sunny afternoon in Castlebar, still a few moderate gusts around which is making it feel slightly cooler.

Gonzo

beautiful day now in Meath, unbroken sunshine and feeling much warmer, wind is just a light breeze at this stage. Currently 19C here in Meath, might get to 20C in the next few hours. A world away from yesterday.

Maybe it is a call back to genetics or something, but I am just not suited to the miserable damp cold and the even more miserable damp heat in this country. Those living in Europe or North America have no idea how lucky they have it when it comes to weather. There is nearly always a pay off when it does get hot and humid (big storms) in summer and guaranteed deep, healthy dry frosts in winter.

There is only one thing worse than damp cold, and that's damp heat.
I'm thankful we don't get humid weather too often in this country. If i had to live in a country with high humidity as a daily occurrence i would absolutely hate it, that's why Holidays to such places don't really appeal to me.

Yep really nice in Dublin now. That annoying wind has died down making it feel quite warm.

The damp cold actually causes more heat to leave your body than dry cold. I remember back in 2010 feeling more comfortable in the dry cold of - 5 degrees than the 3 - 4 degrees damp weather we normally get during winter

Same with a Spanish work mate of mine a couple of years ago who could not bear the July heat in this country. He declared that it was 'ugly', and I totally agreed. I sometimes think if the summer heat here in Galway, and particularly my region of it (NE) is made all the more unbearable due to the fact that there are no hills to help 'churn' the air about a bit more as it would in pretty much any other part of the country. There is always that odd stagnant feel to it here, and the swampy damp bog land that makes up much of the countryside locally hardly helps either.

Lovely morning in cork city. Clear blue skies, a bit of a breeze and about 16 degrees at the moment.

Not a cloud in the sky here in tipp and a lovely 17.1 already

We probably have to be a bit more patient further north as the ridge of high pressure is slowly extending it's influence northwards during the day. Certainly feeling milder today already despite the cloudy morning here. Most of the forcasts for my local area are going for 19 to 22C throughout the next 7 days and some low 20's for the following week as well. Looks fairly promising so far.

The only real threat so far is not the Atlantic but the possibility of a colder plunge in about a week's time from the north but that's a long way off.

Had a Swedish guy over as part of work a few years ago. He's from the very north and used to really low temperatures but he said the 3-5 degrees with damp, biting winds we get here is colder than anything he has experienced before. He gave a week in Cork frozen solid and was glad to get home to -20.

Heating on? :eek: Where are you? It didn't feel cold enough for heating here. A light jumper would do the same job.

Yeah this annoying wind needs to die down. Other than that it is feeling pleasantly warm with the sun starting to break through.

Very disappointed with weather do far this morning. Still really windy here + dark clouds.

Hope it improves. Last night felt like a winter evening. Miserable + lights + heating on from early evening.

Yep this morning is a bit dissapointing, I could still hear the wind up to 2 hours ago but it's completely gone now thankfully. Sun is trying to have a go at breaking through the clouds but is having great difficulty, hopefully will see some proper breaks by the afternoon.

Tomorrow could be a mostly cloudy day, particularly in the western half of the country where there could be spells of rain at times from a dying front. Tuesday is likely to be quite cloudy at times too as another front tries to move down over us. From Wednesday is when we should start to see a bit more in the way of sunshine fingers crossed.

Sun is shining and it's warm in Wexford. Beautiful day
