It's gonna be close, the skies need to be fairly clear and if that high level haze could thin a bit then it could well be beaten, a 30c isn't an impossible target either. Alot needs to play right tomorrow for 30c, light or near calm surface airflow and plenty if not unbroken insolation. The soils' SMD on Wednesday were reported as above 25mm in the Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, Kildare and west Dublin areas, up a bit since the farming forecast Sunday. With today's sunshine and warmth, these figures oughta have increased a bit more. This means the soils are drying out and the energy in the sun's rays can bounce of the drier ground instead of being mostly absorbed to evaporate moisture. The returned energy from the drier ground helps heat up the surface layer that bit more and thus sends air temperatures higher. All to play for.

Perhaps they spent the last two months in the south of Spain only for this weather to 'follow them home' 😊

Today was absolutely wonderful in Tralee. I have an early finish on Thursdays so I was out at the beach by 3 and stayed there til 6. I'm used to heat from spending a lot of time in Spanish heatwaves and I wouldn't do a beach day here on less than 25C and it was easily that today and more. Just glorious and so relaxing to feel the heat and listen to the sea. Later we sat out in the garden until after 8, another rarity in Ireland but a wonderful treat. A warm night tonight so I appreciate my fan to be able to sleep. I can't bear the thoughts of returning to rain and cold, hoping for a softer landing.

A fine mild night with some hints of mist developing

Looking much better in D24 cloud wise this morning.

Kutebride · 08-09-2023 07:33AM

It’s going to be a good day. Misty sunrise in the Phoenix Park this morning.

Supercell · 08-09-2023 08:25AM

Much clearer skies in the east today, gonna be a scorcher, Dublin records could fall again maybe even the national one too, exciting day!

pad199207 · 08-09-2023 08:25AM

Stunning morning in Kildare 17°c to start

PokeHerKing · 08-09-2023 08:26AM

Sryan do you sleep?

pauldry · 08-09-2023 08:39AM

Last night wasn't as oppressive here. Was 16c as opposed to 18c but air felt a bit more bearable. Also it will be 24 to 26c today up here with the record or near record further South n East I'd expect.

Yesterday was too hot to go to the beach though insanely I mowed the lawn n it was like running 10k.

Today I'm heading to the beach as its possibly the last day of this. Some cloud this morning though temperature not really affected. Still climbing to 18c at 8am in this almost certainly record breaking warm September!!

Cluedo Monopoly · 08-09-2023 08:44AM

Beautiful starry night and it was surreal seeing a clear sky and feeling so much warmth in September. Foggy this morning but looking forward to the sun. The farmers are thrilled with this hot spell.

Well today's the peak, after which i will enjoy the temperatures dropping a bit over the weekend and then dropping nicely early next week. After today's peak........decent into autumn 👍

pauldry · 08-09-2023 09:00AM

28.1c in Mount Dillon yesterday the max so far.

Lucreto · 08-09-2023 09:19AM

That was the most difficult night sleep I had in a while. At least I am working from home today si I can doze in front of my computer for the day.

mcburns07 · 08-09-2023 09:42AM

Very foggy and damp in Cork, hopefully it burns off soon.

highdef · 08-09-2023 09:45AM

Was a cool night in Trim. Left for Dublin at 07:30 and it was very foggy with a temp of 14°. Was just touching 20° when I arrived at the Dublin office just over 50 minutes later.

You mean "descent into Autumn"! 🤣

JCX BXC · 08-09-2023 09:53AM

Beautiful warm sunny calm morning in Galway City. Pretty significant dew last night, grass is absolutely soaked and cars/windows in the shade are completely condensated.

Gonzo · 08-09-2023 10:08AM

A beautiful sunny morning here in Meath, not like yesterday's cloudfest. Currently 20C here. Parts of SE England already reached 29C before 10am.

esposito · 08-09-2023 10:20AM

Stunning morning in SCD. Touching 21c

Hopefully we hit 30c somewhere today!

Gonzo · 08-09-2023 10:30AM

If this was the 2nd or 3th week of July I'd imagine we would be chasing that 33C to fall to 34C, very impressive that 30C is possible today during the second week of September. 30C and beyond is rare for Ireland even in the height of summer where we usually have to rely on Mt Dillon or the Shannon tarmac to reach such values.
