My closest station got the highest and have to say it was very pleasant

OldRio · 28-05-2023 8:10am

The first proper day of sunshine yesterday. Beautiful weather. Let's hope it continues.

I got a real shock when I went outside this morning, cold wind and at only 11c not much difference from a winters morning give or take a few degrees.

from today till the middle of the working week was expected to be a good bit cooler than the warmth of yesterday. The easterly breezes over the next few days will certainly be noticeable across the eastern half of the country as it won't feel that warm, but should still be pleasant away from the coast if sunshine allows.

Meteorite58 · 28-05-2023 11:17am

Brighter earlier but clouded over now here near Tralee, signs that the sun might break through ( maybe being a bit optimistic 😀 ). Just 14.2C atm, was in the high teens this time yesterday, ah well will make the days coming all the nicer.

What a weekend! Great to have a dry sunny spell like this at the start of the summer. ☀️

Meteorite58 · 28-05-2023 7:04pm

Indeed what a weekend, overcast morning here in Kerry turned to sunny breaks and since late afternoon to nearly fully blue skies. Got up to a decent 18.2C and currently 16.7C. Beautiful evening.

Dazler97 · 28-05-2023 8:30pm

Seen this And that's like 3 times since November there has been tornadoes 🌪 in wexford all minor but still crazy 🤪

.Donegal. · 29-05-2023 7:47am

Cold overnight illies in Donegal recorded 0.7c at 4.30. Straide Mayo 1.0c at 3.30 and Castlederg 1c at 6am.

Meteorite58 · 29-05-2023 1:04pm

Beautiful day in Kerry, 20C approx.

DOCARCH · 29-05-2023 2:35pm

Lovely day in Greystones, but edge taken off with the sea breeze. 14.1c atm.

By the way, for those calling for the re-opening of the summer discussion thread, it will re-open for summer!!! This is just summer weather in spring!

Kutebride · 29-05-2023 3:15pm

Beautiful day yesterday. Breezy in morning. Very warm in back garden sun trap by afternoon.

Another beautiful day today. Could see for miles on Hill of Tara at 7am.

Meteorite58 · 29-05-2023 4:30pm

Great tweet from BBC Weather, a lot of sundogs, 22⁰ arcs, haloes etc seen in the UK yesterday.

Gonzo · 29-05-2023 4:56pm

another nice day today but that breeze is rather chilly, but once in a sheltered area it feels pleasant enough.

Yes, I did notice an unusually heavy dew (for time of year) at 7am this morning, cars, roofs dripping wet.

Kutebride · 29-05-2023 5:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120654777#Comment_120654777

Yes bright blue skies and clear views from Hill of Tara at 7am but wet runners from the dew on the grass and buttercups.

rovers_runner · 29-05-2023 6:21pm

Fierce quiet around here, ye should head west lads.

Dazler97 · 29-05-2023 7:41pm

Was lovely and warm today I'd say 23c that sun though is strong

Meteorite58 · 29-05-2023 9:22pm

A really great day here in Kerry. Got up to 21.9C at my site and currently 18.8C with all the windows open. Dinner in the garden tonight after 40 mins in the hammock after work..... ah could get very used to this 😀.

.Donegal. · 29-05-2023 10:00pm

Loads of Jelly fish in around Fenit Harbour today, often a sign of warmer waters coming in, that's a good jump in temperatures for the weekend, was hoping to attempt a first swim this evening but the tide would have been well out, working late tomorrow but no excuse's for Weds 😀

Pic: Fenit this morning.

Absolutely was brilliant weather and it's to last for at least the next 6 days

appledrop · 29-05-2023 11:45pm

We were down in Cork for the weekend weather was stunning, arrived back to Dublin yesterday evening and were surprised it was cooler with chilly breeze.

Another stunner today but definitely cooler here on east coast with that breeze.

It's all relatively of course, still absolutely fab and by the end of week I'll be complaining I don't have enough summer dresses to wear, until the rain returns and reminds me why my whole summer wardrobe isn't dresses.😁

Cluedo Monopoly · 30-05-2023 8:06am

It's really lovely waking up to glorious weather day after day.

Billcarson · 30-05-2023 8:37am

Don't really trust prolonged good weather this time of Yr. Could mean this is our summer and much of summer will be shite,or getting worse as the weeks go by....... we will see.

Just enjoy the moment and stop worrying over something no one can control

pauldry · 30-05-2023 9:30am

God the sun is lovely. It only got above 20c one day in Sligo before yesterday but every day on the forecast sees over 20c. Might get to 25c the next 2 days but then "only" 22c. Sea was 13.3c in Rosses Pt yesterday after 12.6c the day before. Very refreshing swims.

Gonzo · 30-05-2023 10:14am

a nice morning here in Meath and not as chilly as yesterday was, might be warm enough to sit out in the garden later.

pauldry · 30-05-2023 12:23pm

London 14c

Madrid 15c

Newport 21c!

Oscar Bravo · 30-05-2023 1:16pm

A rather nice 22 degrees at Newport and Shannon at 1pm

pauldry · 30-05-2023 1:28pm

Well Newport is called Furnace. I think they left the immersion on.

.Donegal. · 30-05-2023 1:45pm

Locally warmest day of the year 22c. Poor old Malin at 13c

Goldfinch8 · 30-05-2023 2:20pm

A really beautiful late May day here in Co.Mayo. Loving these blue skies and certainly feeling very pleasant out there.

There was a lovely sun pillar on view in this part of the west yesterday evening. It made for a beautiful sunset (below).

pauldry · 30-05-2023 2:33pm

Just turned 22c in Sligo too. We get 23c today n 24c tomorrow. Mt Dillon might break 25c tomorrow

Oscar Bravo · 30-05-2023 3:20pm

3pm

Mount dillon and Shannon 24 degrees

Dazler97 · 30-05-2023 3:55pm

Current temperatures

DOCARCH · 30-05-2023 4:57pm

I see Shannon AP now reporting 25c.

Meteorite58 · 30-05-2023 5:06pm

Was in Cork today, felt a lot warmer than the 18C on the obs. Back in now and very warm although humidity low, welcome breeze keeping it very pleasant. Absoloute blue skies.

Oscar Bravo · 30-05-2023 5:34pm

From met Eireann

We have provisionally recorded the highest air temperature so far this year 📈

25.0°C was reported at our automatic station in Inagh, Co. Clare. 24.7°C was recorded at our manned station in Shannon Airport, Co. Clare.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120658885#Comment_120658885

I was just about to the say the same thing, I see net weather have shannon as the hottest at 25c

Gonzo · 30-05-2023 6:42pm

I could be wrong but I think Shannon at 25C means Ireland has made it first to get to 25C this year with the UK still waiting for it. They should reach 25C tomorrow in Scotland maybe.

Porthmadog in Wales reached 25.1C today.

Dazler97 · 30-05-2023 7:35pm

Highest temperatures 🌡 today ,although I can't wait for met eirrean to realise there's

.Donegal. · 30-05-2023 7:37pm

Castlederg 24.5c after an overnight low of 3c.

Illies overnight low of 1.7c

Glenveagh overnight low of 2.3c

That's Cork airport for you Meteorite, at 168m asl. I see Moore Park in Fermoy was 23c. You can usually split the difference between those two in the summer to get Cork city's temperature in my experience (I.e. 21 or so today. My weather station got to 21.7c in Douglas area).

US3 · 30-05-2023 8:07pm

Media making out this is an extreme event is really getting on my nerves.

Meteorite58 · 30-05-2023 8:37pm

Yeah certainly around 20C where I was, even with shorts and sandals felt warm.

Saw afterwards I was lucky to pass through the Dunkettle interchange before an accident that held up the traffic for ages, was travelling in an older car with broken air conditioning, wouldent have liked being baked in the car sitting on the motorway!

pauldry · 30-05-2023 8:43pm

Over 22c on Sligo today but breezier at the beach than yesterday. NE a cooler direction than yesterday's E. Town was still roasting when returned.
