    Welcome to what we've had in Dublin all month! Looking at stats for the airport it's only been above 20C for 7 hours all year so far and that was in April.

    It's been a glorious spell so not complaining at all, but echoing what others are saying I'm looking forward to the wind shift just to get rid of that endless cold easterly breeze

    We will notice the difference from tomorrow as we lose that direct easterly off 90km stretch of cold sea.

    The rains have finally arrived here in Tralee this past hour, hopefully not heralding a big break down, just a blip, we hope, to fill the reservoirs.

    We have been truly blessed here in Kerry, this past week especially.@Meteorite58's beautiful photos describe it better than any words I could find. It's been magical. Gin blue wall to wall skies and a weekend of real proper heat. Lounging at the beach and feeling as warm as you would in somewhere like Spain. Bliss.😍 I'm usually jealous of the sunny south east but sandals are on the other foot for once.🙂 Fingers crossed that it's the start of a rare classic long hot summer for the entire country.

    Guys, I'm just looking at a specific area on the rainfall radar on met eireann. It shows a small intense echo shower over the louth - armagh border. I think the mountain range on this border is know as 'the ring of gullion'. I'm just wondering why this 'shower' remains stationary for well over 12hrs at this stage despite changing shape. Is it an error or topographical ?

    Looks very likely a false echo I reckon . Was checking to see if there was Wind Turbines there as they can have an effect at times seemingly, Met Eireann speaks about ground clutter and false echoes below. Don't know why but those hills seem to be interfering with the radar somehow or the cloud above it showing up as rain .

    I wonder if it is something to do with the topography with the two hills to the S and the gap between leading towards Slieve Gullion, it seems the returns might be coming from this corridor ??
