Balmy now in Dublin 16. Sun's out and with a stiff SSW breeze, I expect fohn in play here. 23.2c atm.

Heading for Dublin on the M4,I first encountered good sunny spells between Leixlip and Lucan which is a very common point on a journey into Dublin on this road where I meet good sunshine when there's a Fohn in effect. Have just arrived at my workplace in Inchicore and there are some great warm sunny spells and a temperature of 23°. Have to indoors now though!

Gonzo · 09-06-2021 5:50pm

nice breaks in the cloud now over the past hour or so with some very warm spells of sunshine.

Definitely shorts weather now. Balmy evening here. Love this weather.

Mantis Toboggan · 09-06-2021 6:50pm

Savage evening here in Kildare, sunny and breezy around 20 degrees, going to have a couple of cold ones out the back

Thats heading NE,so out into Louth somewhere
Gonzo should be ok
17.5c sunny and breezy in Arklow
The breeze is borderline strong enough to make garden eating uncomfortable

Thelonious Monk · 09-06-2021 7:36pm

Finally it's gorgeous in Dublin, feels warmer than it has been so far this year

Chris_5339762 · 09-06-2021 8:52pm

Still thick cloud in Cork. No chance of it lifting. Cork harbour misting up again like it has the last few evenings. Manky.

Edit: It got up to a max of 15.9C here today. Boring!

fleet_admiral · 09-06-2021 9:57pm

Working in a kitchen and standing on front of a pizza oven was hell today. Extremely humid all day

That's bizzare, didn't think there would be rain anywhere near here today. It was mostly cloudy here till about 3pm and then slowly the sun started to poke through and by 4pm onwards it was mostly blue skies all the way. There were some dark clouds to my west a few hours ago but didn't make it this far, this must have been the shower that affected Trim.

Still currently very warm for the time of day, mild enough to comfortably sit outside in a t-shirt. Haven't had an evening this warm since July 2019.

Kermit.de.frog · 09-06-2021 10:31pm

First night with the fan running during sleepy time this summer. 16.2c currently.

Meteorite58 · 09-06-2021 11:31pm

Grand day here in Kerry , not brilliant but not bad either. Big banks of layered cloud but sunlight getting through for good parts on and off for much of the day, looking to the SE and you would think it was going to pour but not so. Got up to 18.8C making it feel warm in the humid breezy air . Signs of Lenticulars above the lower layers of cloud but hard to get a complete look at them. All in all been a grand few days here , some mist and drizzle at times but passes over quickly enough, even got to dine out on Tues morning, my wife was glad of the throws they had provided ( took mine as well ! ) , found myself putting the jacket back on too but great to be able to get back to some normality.

Gonzo · 09-06-2021 11:47pm

This warm spell has been very disappointing across the west and south in particular with mostly cloudy and average temperatures. Ireland is on the very edge of the warmth but the warmth and sun will be more widespread tomorrow and again on Saturday. Friday won't be particularly good anywhere with cloud and cooler temperatures rolling in off the Atlantic. All areas should feel the warmth on Saturday and early on Sunday.

Second half of June is shaping up to be a dogs dinner unfortunately. Hopefully if we can get another decent week in July or August that the high pressure will be more centered over Ireland with unbroken gin blue skies for everyone and higher temperatures all around.

Make the most of the next few days as there is no guarantee that we will get another fine, sunny and warm week.

I think today is going to be a scorcher in Dublin.

Very sunny and already roasting here in NCD.

Looks like we will hit 23 degrees.

km79 · 10-06-2021 8:02am

Absolutely miserable in south Mayo as it has been all week
Not a block laid in the new house all week
Depressing

TheMilkyPirate · 10-06-2021 8:50am

Another dull drizzly morning in Wexford

davidglanza · 10-06-2021 8:52am

Misty/drizzle here in cork.
Looking like another damp manky day..:mad:

Is there some sort of microclimate around Trim? Someone I know who lives there had a big cloud over them one day when I was 25km away basking in the heat.

pauldry · 10-06-2021 9:15am

damp drizzly here, even the clouds are eclipsed.

DellyBelly · 10-06-2021 9:26am

Very warm in Dublin...however the wind has picked up big time in the last hour. Been a great few days here though...long may it continue

appledrop · 10-06-2021 9:31am

God almighty you have been really unlucky in other parts of country.

I'm starting to feel bad posting about the nice weather in Dublin!

June has been good to us so far with nearly every day hitting 20 degrees or more.

OldRio · 10-06-2021 9:54am

Just the normal here in Leitrim. Rain and cloud. Desperate stuff indeed.

Xenji · 10-06-2021 9:55am

Dull, wet and with 100% humidity in Castlebar, we have only had one dry day since the start of June, I feel bad for the kids having their sports day this morning.

Thelonious Monk · 10-06-2021 9:57am

I know most of you can't see the sun so it wont matter but for those of us in Dublin there's some kind of solar eclipse about to start

corcaigh1 · 10-06-2021 9:57am

Drizzling here in cork, f*ck this sh*t :mad:

namloc1980 · 10-06-2021 10:16am

Disgusting day. Dull, grey and drizzling. East Cork.

Yes I can see it here in Co. Sligo through the thinner cloud every few minutes, quite impressive.

pauldry · 10-06-2021 11:22am

What time does it end at (the eclipse not the rain) as sky trying to brighten here

sun came out for literally 5 seconds but camera on timer so was in clouds by time it took pic

Now lashing again jeez

Thelonious Monk · 10-06-2021 11:28am

I think 1230!
Been mostly cloudy in Dublin and it's really windy now, sun isn't showing much where I am. Sunday looks like it might actually be sunny for the whole day, fingers crossed.

Gonzo · 10-06-2021 12:18pm

very windy here in Meath too with fast moving clouds, a fair deal of sunshine, temperature 20C. You can tell we are too near the Atlantic influence for comfort.

Quite windy here too. At least it’s warm. Such a pity the Atlantic nearly always has to make its presence felt

and unfortunately the Atlantic is going to be unleashed with a very swift end to the warm temperatures and dry weather. By this time next week Ireland, UK and France will be significantly cooler with conditions more similar to what we had during May. Make the most of the weekend as the Atlantic will be back with regular bouts of wind, rain and cool temperatures during next week and beyond.

mcburns07 · 10-06-2021 1:38pm

I'd take fresh Atlantic weather if it came in the form of sunshine and showers, over this persistent gloom.

Thelonious Monk · 10-06-2021 1:54pm

Really windy in Dublin, stuff blowing around the back of house etc! Hardly any sun. Disappointed as I thought this was going to be the nicest day of this warmer spell but it's been a total let down.

Today hasn't gone to plan at all, I was expecting this tomorrow but not today. The Atlantic has edged in further east and south than expected. Temperatures back down to 19C here now after reaching 20C a few hours ago. Very cloudy too and even felt a few spits of drizzle in the wind.

Oneiric 3 · 10-06-2021 2:33pm

Humid and dull in Galway yet again but a fair stiff breeze offsetting that sticky feel somewhat so not what you would call an unpleasant day at all. Remarkable dull June so far though it has to be said. Even in the incredibly dull summer of last year, June itself proved to be very sunny up until about the last week of it.

Xenji · 10-06-2021 2:44pm

It has brightened quite nicely in Castlebar, close to 18C and blue skies now which is a big change from this morning.

pauldry · 10-06-2021 3:17pm

Was rainy n misty for duration of eclipse with a bit of brightness at the very end at 1220.

Now sunny and stormy.

Rub it in weather

Gonzo · 10-06-2021 3:59pm

a mixture of warm sunny spells and cloud here in Meath, far too windy to be enjoyable. 22C, very sticky and humid.

purple hands · 10-06-2021 3:59pm

Tis fierce close in D6W

14.7c in Cork with mist, drizzle and fog. Havent seen the sun for the past three days.

Arturo Delgado · 10-06-2021 5:55pm

Nice and humid for the next couple of days. The future charts though are a horror show. Low pressure stubbornly parked over these islands. Dull wet grim weather . Looks like 2007 actually. So I hope that doesn't happen.

Thelonious Monk · 10-06-2021 6:07pm

Sunday's looking great so far, please please don't ruin it with cloud give us one last hurrah before the standard 14c and unsettled year round weather comes back

namloc1980 · 10-06-2021 6:11pm

Manky day in east Cork. Dull and grey all day. Continuous slate grey skies would put a serious downer on you.

Praying the weekend lives up to the forecasts of sun and warmth

The East was like that all "summer" last year. West getting a dose of that the past few weeks

pauldry · 10-06-2021 6:41pm

West looks like getting cloud even on hot Sunday.

17 to 26c could be temps Sunday

Then it's all downhill until July and we never went uphill.

Even today is as windy as some of the so called wind events
