Summer 2020 - General Discussion

Danno

As May trundles on and June beckons on the far horizon means that Summer 2020 is approaching.

How will Summer 2020 be weather-wise in your opinion?

Will the northern blocking patterns continue?

With Covid-19 causing pollution levels to fall sharply, does this in any-way play into weather patterns?

For me, this Spring has had notable similarities with 1995 and I think another summer like 1995 is a possibility this year. :eek:

Met reports at 12pm.

Warmest again inland. Temps a little down here from yesterday but feels no friggin cooler at all. Some patchy Altocumulus virga also visible in northern sky.

What was the highest temp in Ireland during the hot summer in 2018, wasn’t it around 32 or 33 degrees at Shannon?

I'm in Ballymote and its 19c here and fair. Does that help?

Yes, I think it does confirm that something's amiss with the sensor there. Dewpoint is now up to 19.1, air temperature 19.6. Claremorris is temperature 21.1, dewpoint 11.3. Newport and Athenry both dewpoints 13, Mount Dillon only 9.

It was a questionable 32.0 at 16:15 on the afternoon of June 28th.

It was 32C and from what I remember Shannon was on it's own with that temperature. A few other stations in the west got around 30C. The majority of stations in the country had mid to high 20s. Hopefully we can get a spell of heat late June or July with similar temperatures this summer. Here in Meath we got to 29C during one of the afternoons just as the hot spell was ending, the easterly breezes held our temperatures back for much of May and June that year to the high teens in May to low/mid 20s in June. We had several days of mid 20's during July and a few at the beginning of August that year.

Roastin' in Dublin 16! 25.5c atm.

24.9°c at 1pm in Kildare. A few clouds now.

DOCARCH

Phoenix Park reporting 25c at 1pm.

24C here now at Dunshaughlin, our warmest temperature this year and possibly the warmest temperature we have had since 2018.

Not so down here in Arklow,lovely marine breeze gusting 20kmh
Currently 20.8c
I won't swap
It'll be interesting to see if the sea breeze changes to a land breeze later this afternoon

SleetAndSnow

Up to 25.6 degrees in my garden in cork city! Roasting! The airport is reading 24 so definitely the warmest day of the year so far for down here I think! Very dead, heavy air. It's getting a bit cloudy now too.

Slashermcguirk

So balmy here in D5

John.Icy

A lovely 23.3 here in D9 and feel like we could be maxing out as we've lost maybe half a degree the last hour. Lost any sustained sunshine between high cloud and for the first time in days some thicker cumulus. With some luck we might break 24 if we lose some of the thicker high cloud!

BLIZZARD7

Not ideally located thermometer in back garden here in D14 shot up to 29.1c briefly from a steady ~ 25c for the past hour or so. Previous high this year was 26.8c. Now back at 28.2c, no breeze.

High cloud encroaching.

Gonzo

back to 23C here in Dunshaughlin, maxed out at 24C briefly about an hour ago, getting cloudier now and also more breezy. The change is starting to take place.

DOCARCH

26.1c now in Dublin 16 and mostly cloudy.

igCorcaigh

Met's hourly forecast says 28C for 15h ,but it's only 23C. Bit of a discrepancy.

Iirc August and September were pretty disappointing weather wise in 2018, wasn't bad weather said to be the reason that more people didn't go to see the pope?

Phoenix park 25 degrees
Gurteen 25
Oak Park 25

I thought Phoenix park was heading for 27 today but only 25 at 3pm. Some cloud kicked in, had it stayed away I think 27 would have been hit.

Gonzo

back up to 24C here at Dunshaughlin, must be fairly close to 25C, if we could get a decent spell of sunshine in the next hour we might do it.

Gonzo

Today is the warmest day of this spell for many, but we can already see the temperature lowering fairly quickly across the west and north. At this stage we have passed the peak and temperatures will begin to lower everywhere from now on. A few more hours of warmth across the east and south. Looks to be a fairly chilly day in Donegal and parts of Mayo, these are a sign of things to come for the next week to 10 days.

Slashermcguirk

Interesting that much of Ireland warmer than the UK the past week or two.

Bsal

Dublin airport showing 25c on the 1430z metar.

It’s gone hazy here in the last 30 minutes. Proper hot in the sun but you can almost feel a change unfortunately imminent.

yep same here, you can tell just by looking at the sky that the change is coming and we are losing the grip on the high pressure.

Xenji

Overcast with a moderate breeze at times in Castlebar, its dropped nearly 3C in the last hour but it has been a great spell of weather here.

Gonzo

25C now at Dunshaughlin, our warmest day in 2 years!
