A new thread for a new season! π
Gentle/fine start to Autumn in Greystones.
Saharan dust moving up over the country over the next few days
Stunning day in Dublin........perfect clear blue skies and 24 degrees. Weekend was fab too, keep it coming
28 degrees at Valentia. Some day π
Warm in Cork but hazy sunshine now.
Valentia 27.5c at 4pm so itβll be rounded up to 28c on the next met update.
Inagh mount callan in county Clare also 27.5c
Clareville limerick 27.6c.
I donβt think Iβve ever felt it this warm in September before especially with this added Humidity
Warm September brings the fruit, sportsmen then begin to shoot π

25C in Galway City now it was 14C at midday.
Valentia 27.4c 3pm
It dipped back to 26.9c at 2pm from 27.2c at 2pm. Might scrape 28?
Just one query sryan. Did December 2015, remember that really wet month, not have a 16c min somewhere, Malin Head even on a southerly? I'm not definite but it sticks in my head.
A beautiful 27 degrees at Valentia :)
This is fabulous, sitting outside in the pergola have lunch with the little one. As Elmer said, even the East breeze is warm this time.
The light easterly breeze (on east coast) feels warm and balmy unlike the icy one back in June.
I wouldnβt be surprised if the 29.1c 1906 record goes this week, I think the wind is turning southerly this week so maybe the Phoenix Park could hit the magic 30!
9 official stations on wow 26c
The paddling pool hasn't been used since June. It will be today. Very warm.
Also they can't give out to us for wasting water after July and August.
Very warm in Tralee, the town is quiet. Certainly feels in the mid 20's, getting to that age where I had to loosen my shoes at work due to my feet swelling in the heat π π . Looking forward to getting on the shorts and sandals after dipping the feet into cool water when I get home later.
League table so far today
24C now at Dunshaughlin which is joint warmest day of the year at my location. 27C currently in Valentia Kerry.
It's not really much of a prediction but by 2040 one of these early warm September events will bring a day over 30C in Ireland. Considering we reached 29.1C in Clongowes in 1906.
And Clongowes reaching 25.2C on 3rd October 1908 is some record. Maybe there was something funny with that station.. Though 30 September 1997 reached 24C in Kilkenny, so 24C is doable in October.
I'd say it will be tough on the rugby players for the first week or so in France at the world cup.
France currently 36c. Record is 40.7c last year
Britain is 28c Record 35.6c
Wonder will these records fall this month. Britain doubtful but France maybe. Definitely location records will be broken in France.
Days of 17-20c around mid October. Once the sun sets at 6.40pm ish the fog rolls in. Nights around 7c and fog slowly burning off with lovely calm sunny days from 11am to 5pm are my traditional Indian Summer. Around the middle of the day you can feel it's summer but the shortness of the day and the sun angle of 25 degrees tell you otherwise. If you're at a match it's best be on the terrace if the stand is in the shade.
23c in Sligo now. At 11am it was 16c. Quick jump!
Glorious weather in the SE all weekend and today. Now if the humidity at night could give it a break so I can get my pavers sealed before it breaks I'd be very happy! This morning they were almost as wet as if it had rained on them, and my shaded west facing lawn can't dry out enough for a good cut either. Still, I'll take what we're getting!
Yes an Indian summer is a warm spell after the first frosts, so would be more so the month of October then September. But most people think of an Indian summer as a warm spell in September.
I didn't know that. I always felt it was anytime in September. Hopefully it lasts until the 21st!
Not meaning to be critical but I think an Indian Summer is more after the 21st September. Or the first frost.
I remember John Eagleton giving the definition during warm weather in early September 1999. Again don't mean to be nitpicky. Whatever it is it's great!!
Glorious in Galway. I do love an Indian summer. The moon and high tides have been amazing over the past few days.
1300 Valentia 26c
