    The nights sure are getting warmer. Upstairs in our house has got 10c warmer than downstairs. How do we store this for the Winter? Or can we generate electricity with it?

    Another gloriously Summery morning. Everything looks so clean and colourful.

    Cool, overcast and quite windy in my part of Dublin so far! I wish RTE would stop lying and telling me it's blazing sunshine outside!

    What is with the weather apps they all say sunny blue skys where in fact it’s blanket cloud never known them to be so off

    why are forecasters an weather apps not picking up this massive blanket of cloud on the east coast ?

    They're computer generated, usually with no human input. Cloud has burned off almost nationwide now.

    very chilly and cloudy, sick of this, I would take an unsettled westerly at this stage, at least it would be warmer!

    I wouldn’t even think of going outside without a warm geansai on.

    Oh guys I feel for ye, we know too well what it's like to be on the other side of it here in Kerry but today is simply stunning, another world altogether, solid heat building by the hour, well over 20C already and sure to go higher, low humidity, buildings starting to heat up now, had the fan on late last night and early this morning, don't care anymore on looks 😀 shorts and sandals in work ,Sun hats and sun glasses and bottle of water going everywhere. For the last week like living in Oz, just leave the house knowing no need for jacket just prepare for sunshine and heat, was even looking for parking in the shade this week!

    Another great day. Was a cloud fest until Monday here but has more than made up for it the last 3 days.

    So it is an extreme exaggeration then.. 16.5c is not extremely chilly that you couldn't step outside without a wooly jumper

    The cloud patch overhead Dublin (for my concerns) simply will not budge unfortunately. Yesterday it got a move on around 4pm. Maybe similar today.

    Incredibly frustrating but tomorrow is a new day. I would say thankfully I'm heading inland for the banker, but I won't tempt fate!

    Glorious weather for the vast majority of the country continues.

    According to Sat24 forecast heavy thunderstorms possible this weekend in Northwest. But pretty isolated except from around 4pm Saturday. Better swim early that day.

    A fairly sunny day here in Meath but that wind would cut you in 2, almost zero warmth to the sunshine. Most people over 50 doing their shopping in their winter clothes and jackets.

    Dublin. The cloud cover and breeze off the sea make sure it certainly isn’t T-shirt weather

    This is an upside down Spring/Summer this past few weeks. Spain wet, Ireland sunny. Uk freezing, East cold, West warm. Not too uncommon though at this time of year. High chance it won't persist that way all Summer.

    The cloud has finally burned off in south Dublin at least. Around an hour earlier than yesterday.

    Lovely sunshine now.

    Should make for a lovely, if cool, afternoon and evening.

    Despite it being 24.9c Tuesday 24.7c yesterday and probably similar the next 3 days it won't be a heatwave as you need 5 days over 25c. 24.9c doesn't count. And 24.7?? Tsssk.

    The definition of a heatwave with many forecasters is when the temp is 5º above average for 5 days in a row over a wide area.

    So in that respect, it is a heatwave as many areas will go well above the late May/early June average temp which is only 17º. Not for the East of course.

    Met E uses the 25º figure. Which I don't fully agree with. It seems a bit blunt.

    I mean, if we got to 20º for 5 days in a row in Feb or March it would be considered a heat wave for the time of year for most, surely.
