Summer 2022 - General Discussion

M.T. Cranium · 10-07-2022 05:47PM

The trend in models seems to be spreading the heat out more next weekend and it could mean Ireland sees 27 to 30 in some places by Sunday and Monday next week. I don't see potential for the dangerous heat to spread in, too much of a marine influence, but the heat is definitely showing up further north in Britain now (at least by Monday 18th), and there is also more of a thundery breakdown scenario developing although that may all happen to the south and east of Ireland with more of a dry frontal passage during Monday.

With an extreme event like this, models may struggle a bit. Will be a memorable outcome if they are anywhere near being correct though.

Cloud burnt back at 3pm. Stunning Afternoon.

Funny how that goes, back to mostly sunny by 3pm.

7:05pm now and I'm waiting for my delayed train in Ennis, swelteringly hot and humid here, feels as if abroad

Heading home tomorrow from lanzarote. Has been very warm here today as you say. Have been here since the 29th , the last few days have been noticably warmer then the first few days I was here.

Shannon reporting 26C on Met Eireann.

pauldry · 10-07-2022 07:33PM

Today finally our hottest day of 2022 by far. Now top 3 are

1. Today 24c

2. 20.3c

Yeah we found same, Fri very warm and yesterday was absolutely swelting.

We were very lucky our hotel had great shade everyday for those of us that needed it.

Still lovely and cool in evening though with that breeze, we were chatting with elderly gentleman on way back to room after dinner and he had to go back and get a light coat as it was a bit nippy for him!

We could actually see this on plane coming into land, beautiful sunshine everywhere but out by Howth etc seemed to be surrounded by sea fog.

pauldry · 10-07-2022 07:43PM

Ogimet has provisional reading of 26.2c in Shannon.

acequion · 10-07-2022 08:12PM

Another wonderful day in Tralee. Looking out at it now it's like a continental evening, wall to wall blue sky. 😀

Nice breeze here this evening. Certainly helps. Looking forward to getting back tomorrow though. 12 days is more then enough for me with a sun holiday .

Highest temp of the year of 25.9°c recorded today in Shannon Airport.

Second highest a close 25.8°c in Athenry.

Travelling up between Clare and Galway was very clammy this evening.

pauldry · 10-07-2022 08:47PM

Cloudy in Sligo since 8 and more cloud rolling in yet Met Eireanns forecast is saying its clear everywhere. Have we suddenly become detached and are no longer part of the island of Ireland. On further investigation I see the cloud is just the size of Sligo and Donegal. The rest of the country is in fact clear.

I spotted that bank of cloud moving toward the NW on satellite earlier but hadn't the heart to mention it to ye... The worm will turn soon no doubt. Generally you get great weather in May when we get cold winds off the south east.

CruelSummer · 10-07-2022 08:55PM

What a gorgeous day. Blackhead Lighthouse this evening in Clare on my travels.

It's complex

Maxed at 25.3c in south Laois

Markree in Sligo did very well, Paultdry.

Lovely calm night near the Kerry coast, 15.2C.

Yesterday really was a peach of a day and falling at the weekend was an added bonus. Absolutely glorious was literally gasping it in every bit of that glorious sun and light. I’d love a month of this now

appledrop · 11-07-2022 08:10AM

Cloudy morning now in NCD but warm.

Let's hope the sun appears again later.

I've two loads of washing on line already and more to come.

The joys of coming home from holidays🤣

JCX BXC · 11-07-2022 08:11AM

Layer of thick high cloud obscuring any sun that earlier came out in Galway. Very mild still.

pauldry · 11-07-2022 10:31AM

Ya we got to 24c in Sligo yesterday and had 5 hours if sun. Seeing the end of world heat that could be possible in future 19 or 20c in Sligo will do me. Just an odd bit a sun would be nice.

Very clammy sticky humid muggy day today. Went to sleep dry but woke up wet with sweat.

Uncomfortable nights of 17c ahead

pauldry · 11-07-2022 10:51AM

Already 24c in Dublin. A hot one likely there. Surely by the end of July some stations in Ireland will have new temperature records. Just like last July. Eeek !

Here’s hoping. It’s about time the record temp from the 1800’s is broken. Having said that I don’t want it to reach late 30s, that would be too oppressive for most of us on this island. 34 or 35 will do.

WJL · 11-07-2022 11:04AM

Could be a very decent summer yet. Certainly a dry one in the south east.

Cluedo Monopoly · 11-07-2022 11:20AM

There are so many people around with red faces and necks today. We Irish never learn 🙂

Cloud but warm in Galway.

Slashermcguirk · 11-07-2022 11:49AM

very warm in Dublin, currently 24 degrees. If there was less cloud, I suspect it could be up around 26 now.

rob316 · 11-07-2022 11:53AM

Sun breaking now in cork, warm enough otherwise

Rebelbrowser · 11-07-2022 12:13PM

Was 24c in Phoenix Park at 12pm, 1pms not out yet. It could easily get to 26c+ today you'd think. Here in Cork its very pleasant but not as warm as the last 3 days and some cloud around for first time since last Thursday. Should burn off more fully hopefully.
