That system to the south of Cornwall looks like a psycho right now

External Association · 23-07-2021 2:31pm

That cell is slipping a little south of Portlaoise, Stradbally to Abbeyleix line.

Rock Lesnar · 23-07-2021 2:54pm

Hazy sunshine today here in my area of meath and the 1st day during this spell of weather where the temperature has been below 29c, its 28.2c.

Meteorite58 · 23-07-2021 3:12pm

Scorcher here near Tralee, got up to 28.5C and currently 26.9C

CrowdedHouse · 23-07-2021 4:22pm

Fair drop in temperature with the thunderstorm. Just 2.2mm rain

Roscrea

SleetAndSnow · 23-07-2021 4:26pm

Stunning day in west cork again. After a bit of cloud, it's now pure blue sky well out to sea and all the other directions too. Strong enough breeze today though.

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 4:49pm

First rumble

glightning · 23-07-2021 4:54pm

Castlederg managed to reach 30c today

Mars Bar · 23-07-2021 4:57pm

The wind has just shot up in Tuam. Skies are looking black. I think its about to start lashing

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 4:58pm

The site is not letting me post photos

Gonzo · 23-07-2021 5:23pm

still hazy sun here in Meath but it's noticeably cooler here now than it has been in over a week. Temperature currently down from 24C at 3pm to 22C now.

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 5:31pm

Trying again. Please if the photo does not come on can someone do something.

Slashermcguirk · 23-07-2021 5:37pm

a true sign of how amazing the weather has been recently that its 24 degrees and it feels more cool and refreshing. Can think of summers when sunshine and 24 degrees would be considered a really nice summers day. We really have been spoiled. You even look at the weekend ahead, dry and 21 degrees tomorrow and dry and 22 degrees on Sunday and its like mehhhhh

Have enjoyed this weather so much, epic stuff

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 5:52pm

Loud rumbles on and off

West Mayo offshore

RobertKK · 23-07-2021 6:00pm

All the thunder and lightning was to the north of me, could hear it all afternoon, would have taken the rain which is badly needed.

It will be nice when we get some rain and comfortable nights for sleeping.

pauldry · 23-07-2021 6:11pm

31c in Sligo now in car and at weather station on wall. May only be 30c or 29c but a lot warmer than earlier when 27c.

On holidays all week and I've experienced

29c Saturday Lough Key

21c Sunday Rosses Pt

29c Monday Galway

31c Tuesday Ooughterard

30c Wednesday Mayo

30c Thursday Moore Hall

31c Friday Sligo (possibly 30c)

This is warmer than many of my foreign holidays in the past

Not sure what charts you are looking at but I'm seeing forecasts for 25s to 27s throughout the weekend.

Oneiric 3 · 23-07-2021 6:34pm

I wonder when the term 'Arctic day' will become a thing, like when day time maxima doesn't exceed some arbitrary value like -5.0c or something. Or a 'monsoon day' when we have a daily rainfall total of over a 80mm or something.

Everything is being reduced to meaningless little soundbites.

Same here but not a drop of rain. Never ceases to amaze me at just how hard it is to get rain in Ireland in the summer.

SophieLockhart · 23-07-2021 6:54pm

9.4mm at Mace Head in the 6pm reports, quite a downpour.

sryanbruen · 23-07-2021 7:15pm

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117653375#Comment_117653375

42.8mm at the Derrybrien climate station in Galway today with 22.1mm of that apparently falling in the hour 1330 to 1430 according to WOW.

Tyrone212 · 23-07-2021 7:18pm

Highest temperature up here today of 30.1c at Castlederg.

JCX BXC · 23-07-2021 7:19pm

High of 30.6°c today in West Clare despite the clouds, down to 19.9°c now after a few light showers and several flashes/rumbles nearby.

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 7:32pm

Heavy rain here. Greatly appreciated. Very warm

West Mayo offshore.

Tyrone212 · 23-07-2021 7:39pm

Malin head recorded a tropical hour this afternoon.

JCX BXC · 23-07-2021 7:45pm

The rainfall Radar seems to be reporting some erroneous returns where some of the heavy thunderstorms were today.

What??? You are being sarcastic I presume? If not come to Kerry. We have so much of it here that we'll happily give you plenty to take away 😁 It is scarce this week though and it's just wonderful. But getting cloudy this eve so could come bucketting back at any minute.

Yeah we got it over this end of the county, had to pull in by the side of the road the rain was so heavy lots of lightning as well.

Nice cool and fresh 20 degrees now after it stopped raining.

I haven't looked back through the archives and since I don't often look at the (limited) Northern Ireland data I have at hand, I don't have the stats engraved or memorised. Do you know what month has the most amount of 30C days in Northern Ireland with 2021 being 4? The Republic had at least 7 30C days in July 2013 and 6 days in August 1995, I will be seeing about how many July 1983 had soon.

Gonzo · 23-07-2021 8:02pm

Today has been fabulous in Meath, it's been the coldest day we've had in over a week but it's been the most comfortable and pleasant. 22 to 24C all day and a nice cooling breeze. Spent the entire day in the garden relaxing, couldn't do this on the other days.

pauldry · 23-07-2021 8:04pm

Clouds bubbling in Sligo but I think darkness may beat their potency with sunset in just over an hour and severe storms pushing out into the ocean.

Gone "down" to 27c now from approximate 30c earlier.

External Association · 23-07-2021 8:10pm

This is a great link for sunset and sunrise times. Put in your location.

Sorry I don't know. I've searched before for more data but had no joy. I was told to email the met office but I never bothered.

Pangea · 23-07-2021 9:32pm

I noticed Met Éireann warnings now include part of a County e.g. North Tipperary was in the warning earlier, since when did they start doing this?

Rebelbrowser · 23-07-2021 10:30pm

Finner 23c at 10pm, 22c at Cork Airport. Stunning, stunning night.

They had south Leitrim the other night which gave me a laugh! They'll have to split Cork in 10 by those standards, expect warnings for mid East South East Cork!

The UK Met Office is very helpful. I think they will send you historic daily data from Castleberg if you ask them. No harm in asking at least.

For what it is worth, the 7 day average maxima for Castlederg (not including today) is 27.7c, which is on par with Ballyhaise and Claremorris.

Tomorrow, that 7 day average (which will include today's max) will be 28.1c

My county was on it the other day south Leitrim only because there was a 10c difference between North and south

The gimmicky devaluation of language...

Donegal Ken · 23-07-2021 11:55pm

Captured this on the Drone today. I intercepted a cell moving towards me in Crossmolina, Mayo.

Graces7 · 23-07-2021 11:56pm

Disappointed. I went to sleep thinking that when I woke it would be cooler. It is not cooler. Still hot and sweaty. West Mayo offshore

Relax lads, it's a bit of fun

Danno · 24-07-2021 12:46am

Feels chilly tonight, despite it being above 16c at almost 1am...

Hopefully another 29c tomorrow but that might be a stretch.

Rebelbrowser · 24-07-2021 1:14am

Still 20c at Cork Airport and Roches Point at midnight

Oneiric 3 · 24-07-2021 8:39am

A summer afternoon temp profile/distribution like this just isn't normal.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117654495#Comment_117654495

No, it isn't. It's junk terminology for junk mass media consumption. Pretty much in the same respect as naming 'storms' and calling winter easterlies 'the beast'. Media/social media fodder.

Looks like rubbish for forseeable after tuesday 😟
