Mt Dillon 29.7C at 1400 (will be rounded to 30 on met.ie)
Not sure if I've posted this or not as this website hurts me, however it's now currently 29.9°c in West Clare (about to break the 30°c mark) in hazy sunshine. Much less humid but very very hot all the same.
Explosive convection all around me with frequent booms of thunder from two different cells either side of me 😁 Love it
Still sunny here, wish I had a good vista of the sky to get a timelapse
AWS reporting 29.4c in Durrow. Going by trends the last few days, it's most likely 29.7c or 29.8c on the mercury thermometers in the stevenson's screen.
Every day this week so far, it has taken until 5pm or thereabouts to get into the 29s range. We're three hours ahead of that with more insolation to come. Skies are almost clear here, though there is thin high cloud over nearby Munster.
And it's reached 30.1°c in West Clare.
First 30°c since June 2018.
Nice banger in Donegal alright. Jealous.
Currently 30.4C on Westport's WOW station, second day in a row it has reached 30.2C just outside of Castlebar but that is with my own thermometer
AWS 29.8c Durrow.
On holiday near Athenry and its mind melting hot, haven't experienced conditions like this in a while.
Mt Dillon 30.1c
30 Degrees on my station in Galway City its breathless some fun trying to sleep tonight
Getting cloudy now in west cork

Newport (Furnace) is up to 29.7C now @15.00.
30 at Mount Dillon and Newport on 3pm update……boom!
I wonder if Mount Dillon is being rounded up, Newport is also saying 30C but it has been rounded up from 29.7C.
It is not, showing 30.1C now.

Could see those cells in the NW from here in Ballinderry (Central SE of NI). They looked fab. One big one had a really well defined and hard edged anvil.
The UK Met Office is reporting that the NI record has been broken again today with 31.3c at Castlederg this afternoon (and the day is not over yet). The Castlederg reading should be a well respected and reliable reading.
I'd love one or two cells to rumble in the evening. Even at a distance away they height some cells could tower to would allow the lightning to be seen from quite far away
Castlederg 30.4c at 3pm
see Twitter :-
Northern Ireland has for the second time in 5 days provisionally broken it's all-time temperature record
Castlederg in County Tyrone recorded a temperature of 31.3 °C at 1437 this afternoon
This exceeds the 31.2 °C that Ballywatticock recorded last Saturday

Getting to 30C took a bit longer than expected but finally there it is at Mt Dillion. A few of the wow stations are reporting 32C but I'm not sure how reliable those are. The one in Trim is reporting 32C but all other wow stations in the surrounding areas are 25 to 28C.
Durrow AWS peaked at 30.1c
I always check only the 'Official Observations' box and ignore WOW Observations as that includes personal weather stations (which Trim is).
Castlederg now holds the Norths record for coldest and highest temperature ever recorded. 3 4km as the crow flies from the Donegal border, would be another good place to have a weather station.
About as continental a location as you can get in the North!
Cloud bubbled up in Castlederg , could have gotten a notch higher only for that.
That's mighty impressive by Castlederg. It's strange, considering NI it has bested the south by a good 1-2c twice now on different days, then when we had some 30-32c in 2018 or even in the likes of 2006 (Elphin July record) you'd have expected NI would have passed 31.0c then too. I believe they maxed out somewhere between 30.1-30.5c at a quick google. I guess subtle things (wind/fair weather cloud etc.) can be the difference in breaking records.
EDIT: Also, can barely believe my eyes but Dublin Airport was warmer than Phoenix Park at the 3pm report. 26c vs 25c (rounded so likely v.close). I don't think I've ever seen that happen during good weather spells.
