Cumulus O'Clock beginning across a strip of the country west of the Wicklow mountains.
Could take some heating away from the likes of Oak Park and Shannon if it continues. Here in South Kildare the sun has been obscured for majority of the last 30 minutes. Fair weather cloud is so pesky and slow moving that 90% of the sky could be clear yet the sun is blocked.
Sea breeze still not doing much - Howth is still over 24c. Could be a win for the Dubs temp wise as PP/Casement will no doubt hit 27 shortly you'd imagine!
Both Forgefield and my station a little further south would be a lot less exposed than Oak Park. My station is in a half acre site surrounded on all sides by 2m+ hedges, not ideal and a complete sun trap. Forgefield would be similar in that it's surrounded on all sides by trees and hedges. Forgefield is at 27.3, I'm at 28.1 and Oak Park is only 25.7.
Naas Golf club
A Davis vantage Pro 2 station is at 27.1c
Just after 11am I woke up and phone saying 26C. I don't recall ever seen such temperatures this early in the day. From a heat perspective this is more impressive than 2018 and we still have another 5 days of temperatures in the mid twenties to go. I think 28C is certainly achieveable here in Meath today and can see some places getting 29C once the sea breezes stay away.
Up to 26 degrees now at all Dublin locations, Athenry and oak park
Just over 25C here near the coast in Kerry, after cutting the grass, sweltering. Amazing how wet the grass was though, heavy dew last night and slow to clear without a breeze, some fair weather clouds bubbling up now.
It should given the county is surrounded by hills over 300m and a low centre.
The local council should never have allowed building close to the old met station which caused it close.
Oak Park to replace it was not the same as the topography is different.
I would be surprised if somewhere doesn’t hit 30 today. Unlikely to hit the heights of 2018 with 32 degrees but I think 30 could happen
Yep looks like it’ll be an absolute scorcher. Just back from a swim. Can’t believe it reached 25c by 11am in Dublin!
Can definitely see 29 maybe even 30c somewhere today.
Stronger see breeze on east coast tomorrow bringing temperatures down to low to mid 20s I reckon. Munster possibly hitting 29/30 tomorrow?
Lighter sea breeze today,so it's warmed up as much at Dub as it usually would at casement
Sea breeze is capable of cutting temps to 18 today on or near the coast if at normal strength
But here in Arklow it's dropped to 22 not the full effect
Dew points at Dublin Airport now hitting 17C, its gonna make it quite unpleasant for many.
Botanic Gardens climate station in Glasnevin leading the pack so far with 25.8C. Phoenix Park 25.3C and Dublin Airport 25.1C.
Can't say I recall this level of warmth this early in the day in Dublin since July 2013.
Temperatures approaching 26° in Kildare now with clear blue skies.
Unusual to see Dublin airport keeping up with Phoenix park at 25 degrees, 11am reading. Dub airport normally cooler, Athenry also 25
Beautiful beautiful day here neutral. Not a cloud to be seen! Hope everybody enjoys these lovely days!
It will hit 30 today
Noticeable how even on the coast in North Dublin the breeze is much lighter. Suggests it really could get very hot today particularly inland. Also no cloud whatsoever
Heh, they're slow today
Arklow was nudging 24 before 930am 😂
Mercifully the seabreeze has kicked in
Already 24 degrees at Phoenix park and oak park at 10am
20.8C now here near Tralee under clear blue skies, has the makings for a scorcher all right. Very warm night in store and only dropping to 14- 16C for many.
Later on will make all the difference
23 here in D15. Don't bother
I reckon mount dillon or Shannon might be hot spots today with Phoenix park pushing close. Can never understand why Kilkenny doesn’t have a met station, always very sneaky hot there in warm spells
A lottery where the max temperature will be. At least if any sort of E breeze gets going we can rule out Phoenix Park perhaps which is a hot station though I still see 25-26 for PP.
Of the ME 25 I will go Oak Park - 28.2c
My local WOW (Forgefield, S.Kildare) is already up to 24.6c. It seemed a solid station last year and during winter when referencing to closest ME (Oak Park) but it seems like it is a little off...
22.7° now in Kildare, feel like going to Dublin just for the cooler temps!
An unbelievable beautiful morning in North County Dublin. Not a cloud to be seen + not even a whiff of a breeze.
It's going to be a scorcher!
Enjoy everyone!
Already 21 degrees in Dublin at 8am, going to be a hot one. Perfect blue skies
21°c at casement 08:00
It is going to be a warm one in the West. The sun is out already and the forecast is for 27c. That would be a big jump from yesterday.
Lovely to see so many people eating outside. Seeing a good few tourist cars around too with European regs.
Already 21 here in Offaly, could top yesterday's 27, we shall see.
