FI Charts ( T120+ onwards) Summer 2026 **READ MOD NOTE IN FIRST

A chart like that would equate to about 35c or higher in inland south Leinster,certainly bringing a new Irish all time heat record

Why on earth would anyone want 35C?

All well and good people wanting crazy temperatures in this country but with no air conditioning etc. Good luck if that ever happens here........

Could we stick to the thread title please.

To beat our record temperature it's been in place since 1887

It was 45 degrees C when I was in Vegas last summer. Walked outside at one stage and within 30 seconds could feel my eyelids starting to sting and burn 😂

So what? And BTW, I'd query the veracity of that 1887 temp given the technology in use at the time. I've experienced 35C and above occasionally on holidays. Horrible.

you’d query a temperature recorded inside a Stevenson screen?

Get up the yard with that

It’s more likely that there were so few of them back then versus now,that even higher temperatures somewhere around that day remained unrecorded

Most models are suggesting we will import hot uppers created where you’d expect them to be created

Just like severely cold air imported in late February 2018,this has implications in terms of the very unusual (for us) extreme temperatures possible beneath it

I think even comparing the amount of official temperature recording stations today with what was there in 1976 or 1995 is apples and oranges

We have a huge capacity improvement in recording in the last decade covering a much better geographical area with literally dozens of met Éireann ACS’s dotted all over the country

There is no ‘maybe so’ about the depth of recording today,it’s definitely so

Ergo it’s not unreasonable to assume that somewhere in the country may have had higher extremes before,there were just not the facilities to record where it may have happened

Anyhow this is all off topic

Next week and beyond will be interesting for weather nerds

im getting a maxium of between 14 and 17 degrees next week from the latest ECM, oh well, there ya go.

looks historic and record breaking in the uk next week.

think I saw on X that robbies weather guy showed a map of cape that he has never seen before, looks nuts to my untrained eye
