    GFS 12z not looking pretty for next week, low pressure for Monday into Tuesday with wind and rain especially for western areas followed by another low pressure for Thursday into Friday. Temperatures mid to high teens at best.

    If this verifies make the most of the fine and warm weather over the next few days. Hopefully this return of the Atlantic after a short fine spell is a temporary one and we see another push from the azores high later in June.

    GEM 12z couldn't be more different than the GFS 12z.

    Yes we turn a bit cooler and unsettled from Monday but then by Wednesday we get a blowtorch southerly pumping up some very hot air once again.

    chalk and cheese between the GFS and GEM for next week. Which scenario will happen?

    I reckon both models are outliers.

    I’m liking the look of this evenings ECM for next weekend.

    sooo, let’s see now, if I reading this correctly, a tilted skinny finger of the Azores,with a southwest pig flow, with dank skank flowing on the northwestern flank of it flowing over western coastal extremities and 17 degrees id imagine, buried under a layer of featureless depressing grey stratus sheet cloud, gloomy,grey,dull,drizzle, yup.

    ECM wet outlook for the north and west especially.

    Ya all next week looks wet and showery with a brief window of a warm dry few hours Wednesday.

    Highest temperature in the West will be 18c or 19c ...in the East and South 22c or 23c on a couple of days.

    looks to be a north-west/southeast divide over the UK and Ireland over the next 2 weeks, On one side Western Ireland mostly joining Scotland in the muck and on the other side south-east England enjoying continental summer weather. Eastern Ireland caught somewhere in the middle with a slightly unsettled week and mild to warmish temperatures.

    Overall an unsettled period coming up which could last a couple of weeks, but unlikely to be as overly wet as the first 2 weeks of June.

    A fairly clear trend from the GFS ensembles, a heat spike over the weekend, more so for England but Ireland will still see temperatures up to 25C particularly on Sunday and Monday. Turns much cooler from late Monday into Tuesday with a cool spell lasting most of next week. Second week of July has potential to turn warmer again. Nothing overly wet showing in the models.

    That's positive anyway , maybe 2nd half of July or August may have prolonged heat , its there over continental Europe so plenty to tap into in the right conditions

    Take it with a pinch of salt for now but CFSv2 going with a classic warm and dry July pattern with a strong positive height anomaly right over us and slightly to the east, would draw the wind often from a southeasterly direction which is our hottest direction. I'd say this would compete with our hottest Julys such as 1983, 1989, 2006 and 2013 if it were to verify.

    Would be something to see a July like this after such a warm and sunny spring as all of the springs in the years named above were rather cold and unsettled for the most part aside from May 1989.

    Certainly July looks a warmer than average one overall but the widespread sun of Spring may not be a guarantee. We will be getting a few plumes from the South likely so 30c could be reached some day.

    I hope so 🙏 I just want our record being beaten but even if it's not 27ºc to 31ºc range I'd settle for



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,596 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    I'm not sure it's entirely possible for us to beat that record, too many factors go wrong easily either too much cloud or onshore winds knocking the edge off the maximum max possible. We have too much 'sea' around us particularly to our south and not large enough land area.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    We where so close in August 2022 33.1c in Dublins phoenix park who knows even 33.4c I'd settle for



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,596 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    If we're going to break the record I'd like a clean break of it with at least a 34.0C!

    Back to the near distant future a big shift in the GFS towards things warming up in the second week of July and settling down. Take this with a huge grain of salt for now.

    High pressure anchored over us for at least a week with mid to high twenties, one can only dream.

    Regards the record…

    The average high in Ireland in the peak of summer is about 19.3/19.4 degrees. So you're looking for a temp that's over 14º above average. It's a big ask.

    One for Sryan — how much does our record deviate above average compared to other countries' records? Who has the biggest record so to speak?

    Also, back in 1887, when the record was set, the average high in late June was probably around 17º. Meaning the temp was 16º above average. Which seems a bit dubious to me…

    Yes 34c would be good but as you said a while ago there's alot against us beating this record, oh lovely 😍 hopefully 2nd half of July is nice but still 2 weeks away , it will be a start if models are still the same next Monday



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 290 ✭✭Ros4Sam24


    Could we have a change in fortune for the 2nd week in July?

    According to ECM and GFS there looks to be some support for a more settled spell with high pressure close by. We are still looking outside the reliable but this trend has been gathering traction in the last few days. Also, seasonal models have been pointing this way for some time now.
