A new thread for a new season! π
Gentle/fine start to Autumn in Greystones.
My phone is currently reporting 26C but a real feel of 29C due to the added humidity so today is easily the hottest day I've felt here since last July when we were chasing 33C.
Sat out in the garden at lunchtime. It's the hottest I've felt this year. Didn't even feel this warm when we were in France for two weeks back in July. π₯΅
Villain's station in Tullow is at 29.2C . I believe Met Eireann regard it as a semi-official weather station, as in they trust the readings and will mention anything significant recorded there but wouldn't use it for official records etc.

26C now at Dunshaughlin and Dunsany, record smashed for the second time this week! Easily the warmest day of the year, I reckon a 27C is achievable here and those are rare as hens teeth in Meath any summer.
27 degrees popping up now at 1pm. If it stays clear the record shall be broken
Got to 26.4c on my own thermometer but back to 25.9c now and there's fog out to sea that will probably hold our temperature at this.
Markree might squeeze a 28c . Next 4 hours addictive viewing nationwide.
Oak park 26.4c 1pm. Increase of 1.1c since 12pm. .6c of that in the past 30 mins.
27Β°c at Casement 1pm
Stunning day in Kerry, very warm but I am not feeling the humidity like other days, lovely clear blue skies. Last night was quit oppressive though, not a puff of air and hard to cool down the house but hopefully not as humid tonight.
Somewhere here might get 30c
Shooting up now. 26.3c now.
Exactly definitely a nicer spell than June for us on the east coast
Temperature recalibrate complete and sun out so this is my official temperature....25.4c
Might avoid Cork City now. Southwest Cork looking cooler.
Oak park is 1.1c warmer at midday today than yesterday. It recorded 26.7c yesterday. Its temperature was the same for 1pm and 2pm(possibly cloudy?) yesterday. I think it might push 29 possibly 30 if it remains clear.
A plethora of 25c stations at 12pm. Getting the extra 3-4 degrees between now and 4pmish will be tight! I was hoping some of the 24c stations at 11am would jump 2c.
25c at a number of stations in the east at midday
Wow one of the hottest day I remember here in north county Dublin, usually get a cool breeze when temperatures get to this level but nothing yet.
A roaster
Yes indeed. my bad lol
Stunning day in Dublin, unbroken blue skies as far as the eye can see
The amount of sunshine bodes well for record breaking. That was a concern, would we still be burning off cloud.
Blue sky and hot in Wicklow
25C Casement at 11.30am, could we see a 26C by 12.00. September Records likely to fall in the Dublin area this afternoon.
Where are you seeing that? Fog has almost burnt off now, Met.ie has 26c for Cork City this afternoon.
Agree, the sea is still cold in June so an easterly has a bite to it but in Sept an easterly even felt quite balmy as I mentioned the other day.
Ok last text before I troll
Satellite showing stubborn cloud in NW now. Surely itl burn off by lunch
Cork seems to be getting a raw deal out of this. Only 18 to 20c there today. The rest of us over 26c id imagine
Agree with this. Sea swimming much more enjoyable as water is at its warmest this time of year. It genuinely feels like itβs July or August out there. Pure bliss.
There's a cloud over the sun in Sligo that seems particularly stubborn to move. No matter. Its too hot when sun comes out just strange it stays there and the rest of clouds move on.
To me this September warm/hot spell has been the best spell of weather we have had all year. I've enjoyed it way more than weeks 2/3 of June because this spell has been much more sunny, no nagging winds and temperatures consistently mid 20s throughout and records have fallen already. An exceptional spell of early September weather that has done alot to take away the pain of the poor summer which came before it. plus I've now got a base tan ready for my holiday in Spain after next weekend.
