Had my first day in the garden pool today. Long may they continue. GEFS 12z is looking great for even Ireland next week. Let's be having ya. Hope it's not just another tease.

Ah sure it was a great day out. 19c in the afternoon here. So different to do anything when you get days like this. Got some fields topped off this evening after work and stock moved to new grass before the rain tomoro. No wellies today.

Yeah, a few weeks ago during the dry spell. I have some on an out farm to do yet, maybe next week as I believe we are getting a good week ahead.

Did anyone else get an unreal sunset about an hour ago? Annoyed that I didn’t get a picture of it, the oranges and reds were glowing really strongly

No, I was expecting something but the cloud cover rolled in too quickly in my area and spoilt it.

sryanbruen · 17-06-2026 11:29PM

Yes, was a nice unexpected red sky but looked at the cloud type and stuck around. Pic from Howth.

Nice to see Venus above the Moon tonight

Yes I took a couple of snaps. Pic 1 is looking west towards sunset pic 2 is looking east, I thought it unusual for the glow to be in both directions.

Damp morning in north Longford. Not heavy rain.

Snowcast · 18-06-2026 07:18AM

Thought Tuesday and yesterday were two mild days.

Was in Dublin on Tues and didn't need to wear a jacket, but got back home to Midlands in early evening and there was a mildly cold breeze.

Yesterday was lovely. The red sky at sunset was a beauty 😍

Here's hoping temps go up and we get a decent spell of nice warm weather before the Autumn comes around.

King of Spades · 18-06-2026 07:39AM

I see that some of the charts are pointing to temperatures in the 30s next week yet Met Eireann are forecasting cool and unsettled conditions through the middle of next week. We’re heading to the sunny South East for a break on Monday so a bit of sun and warmth would be most welcome.

littlema · 18-06-2026 08:07AM

Phone shook for the moon Pic but that was at 11pm..…late light in the wesht!!

Condor24 · 18-06-2026 08:11AM

Met Eireann have unsettled outlook next week and yet the latest ECM shows very warm settled weather. All the major models pointing to a very warm week ahead, possibly hot. If ECM is the most benign on temps it's still very good. Let's, see over the next three runs. OK today and tomorrow look pretty crappy but heads up people,its improving over the weekend.

I was looking at that. Met app says unsettled week ahead and long-range forecast says warm mostly dry week ahead. Jesus, which is it? 😀

Hairypoppins · 18-06-2026 08:34AM

Met eireanns forecast is based on last nights ecm run ,they might update the forecast today if they feel dis mornings ecm run is correct ,uncertainty reigns at the moment

giveitholly · 18-06-2026 09:55AM

No rain over night,sunny,breezy and a temp of 19c.

OldRio · 18-06-2026 10:04AM

They’ve changed the ‘forecast’ this morning to reflect what they’ve seen out the window and have said turning warmer next week at least on the 755am radio one forecast anyway

Needless to say the 7 am to 11am thunderstorms and heavy rain on their app last night for my area this morning did not happen,it’s a nice start here in Arklow,cloudy and breezy now but we had some milky sunshine,it’s bone dry and we had no rain

OldRio · 18-06-2026 12:04PM

Steady rain in south Leitrim at the moment. Temperature dropped noticeably.

Bishop of hope · 18-06-2026 12:12PM

The rain just moved in here too, looks set to last a while now going by the radar. Heavy right now.

Gonzo · 18-06-2026 01:15PM

getting lucky here in Meath and avoiding all the rain to my north and to my south.

pureza · 18-06-2026 03:09PM

nice bright and breezy day again in Arklow

5.8mm rain over a short period of time,heavy at times

Temp is a respectable 18.1c atm

Dazler97 · 18-06-2026 03:19PM

Light rain showers in between the sun here in Dublin City warm though

beggars_bush · 18-06-2026 03:38PM

I'm still relying on the uk met forecasts

The HorsesMouth · 18-06-2026 04:20PM

Absolute horrendous day in the midlands today. Just unlucky to be under that trail of rain all day long. Downpour after downpour currently and tonight and tomorrow look worse.
