Summer 2025 - General Discussion

We are very sheltered from northerly winds but can be over exposed to south westerlies. Storm Darragh during December last was a red warning for Wicklow and the wind was from the NW. The general area was well rattled, trees down all over the place, widespread power outages but here in the valley it had no impact at all. South Westerlies however get funneled down the valley and can make them worse. Fog can be an issue here, taking a long time to clear and in winter there have been times when smoke from the wood fires gets trapped and can't rise up. It has its weather quirks that's for sure.

Tomorrow might see more than 2 hours sun here but still cloudy much of the time.

Actually cloudy out there now so a slow burner again. Maybe sun after lunch. So dull this Summer here. Warm yes but dull.

We are in Waterford at the moment for a short stay.

Forecast for today has a max temperature of 29C, our Airbnb has a BBQ set which will be put to good use today!

Cloudy yet again but patches of blue sky appearing. Rather pleasant. Hopefully get the lawns cut today.

Leitrim.

Yesterday every Met E station recored a temp above 20º — which I'd imagine is quite rare, as even in really hot spells, a sea breeze or local mist and fog etc. keeps one or two of the coastal stations a few degrees cooler than everywhere else.

And today every station is above 20º already. So that's two in a row. Wednesday could make it three.

Sryan — how often does this occur? And what's the record number of days in a row for every station to be above 20º?

Still cloudy in Sligo. A bit more sun than yesterday but forecast wrong again. 2 days in a row.

27c Oak park

Gorgeous in Kilmainham, as good as it gets really

I'm walking east by the grand canal from naas road and towards the south circular. It's nice but there's a very noticeable cool breeze. Unfortunately I'm not in longford today where I'm told it's feeling very warm with barely a breath of wind and even that warm.

2pm

Mount Dillon 27 degrees

Oak Park 27 degrees

Going by the weather models, I would say Mount Dillon will overtake Oak Park in a the next hour or two and is likely to be the warmest synoptic station today. Plus Mount Dillon tends to be a bit slow to warm up but usually peaks later in the afternoon in weather setups like we have at present.

I must say, the good days this year have been exceptional. 27c endless blue skys. North Ros

Stunning day here on the coast in North Dublin! perfect blue skies. 26 degrees at phoenix park

Oak Park looks the hotspot at the moment
