It's fully passed to my North now, lovely sunshine here in D9. Breeze almost absent now too. Back to 21 degrees now after dropping to a little below 20 during the worst of the haze. Might sneak a 22/23 later.

Yeah much warmer now that the sun has burned through the high cloud. Glad I applied the factor 50 on my face!

Yeah hopefully that high cloud shifts. It’s also quite breezy at the coast and quite cool.

23.5°c in Kildare. Feels warmer than yesterday due to the wind being not as strong.

A beautiful Co.Mayo this afternoon with the temperature heading for 26 degrees

I can only recall any significant heavy rainfall in Cork this spring on 5th April and 21st and 22nd May. Hard to square that with those figures.

Around those dates yeah, there was a lot of days of constant heavy drizzle etc though while the rest of the country was in sunshine which raised our totals down here aswell.

breeze has really kicked in over the past hour or so making it feel cooler than it is. Temperature currently 23C, with a strong breeze i'm not sure temperature will get much higher.

A little bit further inland (SW) of Kilcock and only a very slight breeze has come up. Basically, more or less calm but the odd little breeze for a few seconds and that little breeze is very very warm, similar to the breeze you'd feel down in the Med.

25c in South Laois - not as breezy today

Slashermcguirk

Not sure but according to met eireann official readings 65mm in March, 72mm in April and 68mm in May. Sorry that’s 205mm, not 210mm.

I think cork airport has had about 210mm of rain so it looks like cork has been one of the wetter locations. That’s going by the met eireann readings. That’s 4 times as much rain as Dublin in the same time period.

It feels warmer here in Dublin than yesterday

21C here in Meath, a degree up on this time yesterday. Very little breeze too, if that continues today is going to be a hot one for many.

Gone rather cloudy in D9, all high stuff but very little sunlight is getting through, just about holding onto hazy conditions.

Hopefully it get's a move on, 21 degrees here atm which suggests we have a chance today of getting a nicer 22-23 degrees here which would be the warmest in several days.

The records keep on coming... 4th driest May on record at Phoenix Park and driest May since 1991. Casement with 265.8 hrs to 29th has had its sunniest of any month on record and with another 2 sunny days, I think this will safely mean May 2020 will be the sunniest month in Dublin since June 1957 or even July 1955. Wonder how the overall spring will rank sunshine wise.

This spring will be a tough one to beat in future.

EDIT: This blog post by Maynooth's ICARUS is worth a read. April/May 2020 are the driest of any two-month period on record for Phoenix Park! The drought is already more extreme than Summer 2018 too.

Temperatures well into the 20s for most days and in most places right up to Tuesday

Days possibly becoming a little cooler after that.

This week coming doesn't look like it will cool as quickly, some of the models begin the cooldown on Wednesday while others delay it into next weekend.

The GEM gives us a very warm to potentially hot day on Friday 5th of June, The GEM also doesn't really get us properly into the northerly either and we just stay on the warm and and very dry side right into the following week.

Latest GFS also giving us quite a warm day on Friday too, delaying the cold into next weekend with low 20's possible in places up to Saturday.Southern half of the country likely to stay under warmer conditions for that bit longer.

Waterford has had the advantage (I reckon!) of a fresh breeze to take the edge off the heat/humidity - very pleasant.
