Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

27 degrees popping up now at 1pm. If it stays clear the record shall be broken

Gonzo · 08-09-2023 01:44PM

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.

Rougies · 08-09-2023 01:52PM

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.

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. 🥵

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.

No rises for 2pm, pushing it tight now for the record

Gonzo · 08-09-2023 02:15PM

Alot of stations now on 27C but I don't see any 28s so I think 30C may not happen at this point at the official stations. Warming will probably peak around 3pm/4pm?

sryanbruen · 08-09-2023 02:17PM

Bunclody, Wexford seems to be the hottest spot so far. 28.0C at 1400

Thinking the same. If we were 2pm in July I wouldn't mind so much but we've a narrow window before the sun dips in September.

Uppers a little lower than forecast a day or two ago.

08-09-2023 02:21PM

I wonder will 28.4c from 1991 be beaten, that's still 50/50 to go.

Oh the streams of Bunclody they flow down so free,

By the streams of Bunclody I'm longing to be,

A-drinking strong liquor in the height of my cheer,

Here's a health to Bunclody and the lass I love dear.

pauldry · 08-09-2023 02:23PM

Pathetic . Only 28 or 29c in September.

Look out for MT Dillon. It usually warms around 4 or 5pm. Could get 29c there.

Stuck at 25 to 26c in Sligo now. Won't beat record here anyways. Off to beach now as cooler tomorrow.

pauldry · 08-09-2023 02:25PM

Some of my unofficial buds at 29c now.

July and August a washout and now we can only manage 28c in September. We're living in terrible times.

bazlers · 08-09-2023 02:34PM

Mullingar record already beaten again now at 27. Twice in 2 days after 73 years. Impressive.

Dazler97 · 08-09-2023 02:34PM

Ye I don't care what anyone says this is our summer ,it's just absolutely fantastic ,unfortunately this is the last day of the proper heat before a breakdown

Kutebride · 08-09-2023 02:41PM

27⁰ Meath. So hot. Kids have a football match this evening. Not looking forward to that. Prefer to hang out in the garden in this heat.

I saw a poster on Instagram post 18⁰ and all the haze and fog on Achill Island on Irelands warmest day Ooops.

cherryghost · 08-09-2023 02:50PM

My weather station in Longford tipped 28 an hour ago.

EDIT: Just checked there, its bang on 29.

pad199207 · 08-09-2023 02:52PM

27.6c in Kildare now with some clouds developing.

08-09-2023 02:57PM

Trathnóna breá fomhair atá ann😊

.Donegal. · 08-09-2023 03:07PM

28.1c oak park 3pm

sryanbruen · 08-09-2023 03:17PM

Bunclody 28.3C

Oak Park 28.1C as mentioned above.

The window of opportunity for new Irish record is closing soon.

New provisional Northern Ireland though with 28.0C at Castlederg beating 27.6C from 1st September 1906.

.Donegal. · 08-09-2023 03:25PM

4 official stations 27c in Donegal surprised given how cloudy it was until midday and sunshine hasn’t been constant since.

nacho libre · 08-09-2023 03:30PM

Well it's safe to say 30 is highly unlikely to be reached. 29 looks beyond reach too. Even though the nights are unusually warm, you still feel the drop off in temperature by 5 pm onwards. If we had this heat in July the dodgy Kilkenny heat record would likely have fallen.

Looking like no record for the Republic, Dooks' 29.0C in 2021 still higher too. Oh well, an absolutely stunning day and official heatwave conditions in September is not something you see every year.

Slashermcguirk · 08-09-2023 03:56PM

I typed Kilkenny city into Met eireann website and it says its 30 degrees there now. Not sure how accurate that is but I know from frequent visits to Kilkenny during warm weather that it always tends to be a good bit warmer there than some nearby counties.

Robwindstorm · 08-09-2023 03:56PM

Come on sun, one last push, You can do it?

Rikand · 08-09-2023 03:57PM

A nation holds it's breath.... for the 4pms
