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.

ye we’ve had it lucky here in carrick 22c most days down to 17c today

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.

Dublin tonight.

Meteorite58 · 20-05-2025 08:58AM

Sunshine getting through now after a cloudy start, 13.8C, local farms busy day ahead bringing in the silage.

DellyBelly · 20-05-2025 10:16AM

Lovely morning again in Dublin and at last a bit more heat...

Cluedo Monopoly · 20-05-2025 10:16AM

River in Oughterard very low.

giveitholly · 20-05-2025 03:20PM

20mm after falling today so far,the "drought" is definitely over in this part of the country

Robwindstorm · 20-05-2025 05:00PM

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 ?

.Donegal. · 20-05-2025 05:23PM

Not a drop of rain here in weeks.

pauldry · 20-05-2025 06:22PM

21c in Claremorris 18c in Sligo n non stop sun still. Can see showers away in distance but sea breeze blowing them East (for now).

SleetAndSnow · 20-05-2025 06:35PM

high cloud all day in cork city but dry, about 16/17 degrees so a bit of a change. Normal May type weather really now

Cluedo Monopoly · 20-05-2025 06:37PM

We had about 15 mins of rain today and it was very welcome. Could do with more. First rain In 25 days.

appledrop · 20-05-2025 06:43PM

Normal weather has resumed in Dublin, raining and chilly today.

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 ??

Thanks Meteorite, baffling stuff. I haven't noticed it before. It can't be a rain cloud for this length of time.

zell12 · 20-05-2025 09:12PM

Is there a storm this weekend? Strong W/SWs forecast with pleasurable refreshing rain

It's a flase echo because northern Ireland radar was down earlier on

.Donegal. · 21-05-2025 12:16AM

GFS Sunday

Reminiscent of a winters day. 7c NW. Gusts up to 115km/h for exposed northern coasts

pauldry · 21-05-2025 12:28AM

Don't be daft itl be 11c Sunday. No matter what happens this is one of the sunniest spells of weather Sligo has ever had. Most of April bar a week and 20 days of May sunny 90percent of them time. Probably over 400hours of sun in that time. Unreal for the normally cloudy NW. 2 or 3 days left then pray for June reload.
