A new thread for a new season! 🍂
Gentle/fine start to Autumn in Greystones.
Breeze did indeed keep it down in Cork, only got a max of 23.3c at my station in Cobh today. Max gust of 46kmh. Clouded up around 3, 330.
Still 21c at 9pm.
September 4th 9pm
Valentia 24 degrees
Shannon 22 degrees
Mace head 22 degrees
Claremorris 21 degrees
I am hearing talk of this good weather lasting for 2 weeks. Is there any truth in that?
What a day it was today.
Real intense heat in the direct sun, you'd think it was the height of the summer.
In a word no, a change is looking likely by late Sunday into Monday. Lots of warmth to come in the meantime, with night time temps well above average
A little early to say. The ECM model is going for a breakdown in 6 or 7 days. The GFS keeps the warmth going (not as warm as this week but very pleasant). Breakdowns can get squeezed into shorter periods and the weather can take up quickly enough too.
Today's highs and still 24.3c in kerry currently
High Pressure near the South a lot sosome breakdowns in the North and 17 to 19c there. Could remain in the 20s further South.
No average temperatures until the 11th and then maybe only a day or 2. Back above average after that.
By this day next week IMT will be 17c or more.
...
Temps at 10.40pm...
Could well have bumped into you out on Fenit Pier tonight, Meteorite.😀 I was there about 7.30 PM. I actually had trouble to find parking. Never before have I seen Fenit so packed on a Monday evening in September! I guess people are just so starved of good weather that everyone flocks automatically to the coast when it eventually comes. Nice to see that Kerry was warmest in Ireland today, it was indeed fabulously warm and is still lovely now at almost 11PM.
Still 24c in Shannon at midnight 😲
Valentia 24c at 00.00 according to ME.
unbelievable!
out of interest Malaga is ‘only’ 23c
Still 24c in kerry
If this plume, these synoptics were about in July when southern Europe was on fire I think 33.3c would have been smashed.
Just now, nuts....
Has it ever been that temperature at midnight in Ireland? Remember seeing 22c one time.
What's going on? Will it be 30c in Valentia tomorrow or itl prob cloud up and stay 22c.
Valentia still 24c at 2am. Madness
25c at 3am.
20c in waterford. Horribly sticky night
Valentia still 24 even with recent shower.....is that for serious or dodgy ob!?
Valentia still 24c at 5am! Breezy there too so maybe some sort of fohn effect going on?
A couple of stations at 20c at 0500 - Cork AP, Sherkin and Mace Head.
Valentia dropped to 23c at 0600.
Valentia 22c at 7pm. Dawn is at 6.59am there this morning. If it held at that till dawn even 21.5c would be the warmest night ever recorded in Ireland I presume. Given sryan's chart from a few days ago. Unbelievable!!
Car reading 21c in Cork on way to work. Last morning this warm I recall was July 2013.
Little talk about it but the uppers were exceptional yesterday and last night!! Equally these very warm uppers are moving away today as will the record high temps. Last night was a once off, more just mild humid rest of week with nights around 15/16 (which of course is still very good.
Daytime maxes will also taper off after today settling around 20 to 24 for rest of week
The breakdown being picked up by all models now for Sunday or Monday latest
Afraid not. Valentia had 18C at 9am yesterday. Temps (including mins) go by the climatological day 09-09 for historical consistency back when observers had to manually record.
The UK Met Office has a separate record database for 21-09 mins albeit the history is relatively short of course because automation tech isn't that old. I am unaware if Met Éireann has such for Ireland but I would be able to give an estimate for synoptic stations (25 of them) as they have hourly data.
Ok, like a lying snow day.
Dusk to Dawn having a min of around 22c on 4th to 5th of September is mightily impressive, regardless.
Fresh enough for a run in D24 this morning. Nothing like the temps in SW. Didn't even put on the fan last night!
Thin layer of cloud should burn off pretty quickly and another cracker of a day in store!
GFS following ECM this morning. Back to dartboard lows from next week.
Just another beautiful morning in Dublin 😎 defo hints of dust in the air.
Yes, was thinking the same earlier, about the dust, at sunrise.
