Summer 2022 - General Discussion

Yep 25 in totally overcast conditions. If this clearer spot keeps hold we should see the hottest temperature of the year in the next hour or so.

26.3C at the Churchtown station @14:00. Humidex of 30.9C

Period of more broken cloud coming now, should break 27C there by 15:00

Phoenix Park also 26C at 14:00 reports.

26.2º at Shannon yesterday is the year's highest temp so far I think.

Warmest spot is Dublin at the moment with 26c, 24c here in Carrick but cloudy, met office did have a warning for England but think its been cancelled

27 degrees now recorded at Phoenix Park, impressive. Even Dublin Airport which would normally be more exposed to coastal breeze is 26 degrees now

Its 23.4C here in Loughlinstown despite a strong sea breeze. We are only about 1km from the sea so usually that pegs temperatures right back to around 18ish. Very warm air indeed.

Still cloudy here in Carrick 22c, last night was 16c very warm

27.2 at Dublin airport very impressive given its location and exposure to coastal breeze. Phoenix park is quite often up to 3 degrees warmer than Dublin airport. Casement is usually warmer too. Dublin Airport nearly always the coolest of the 3 Dublin met stations.

No sign of the 4pm readings update yet on met.ie

While Dublin's record of hitting 30 are very poor indeed, its consistently better and warmer weather throughout almost every week of the year mean its still the place to be along with the south east if you want decent weather in this country. No doubt during heatwaves that the midlands are where you want to be but I would take Dublin's much drier weather most weeks of the year.

Will be interesting to see what the hot spot will be this week, forecast across much of the country looks great.

Thats interesting GL, didnt realise that about its location at Dublin airport. I suppose its such a massive site.

Any way of knowing what the highest reading so far at Phoenix park is? Would normally expect it to be at least 2 degrees warmer than the airport, maybe not today though.

Thanks for that, interesting.

Shame about the cloud cover so far hopefully things can improve going forward

Bar Killkenny/Carlow the Shannon basin from South Donegal to Limerick city has the best potential for extreme temperatures as has been shown the last few years time and again.

Having lived on both east coast and north west yes the east coast over the spring/summer/autumn has much longer spells of settled weather, but for spikes the west along the river is always prone to a surprise.
