    I can safely say that June 2016 has certainly gotten off to an awesome start (not even). My statistics so far for June:

    Rainfall: 0.0mm (0% of the LTA)
    Mean temperature: 13.8c (+1.5c above the LTA)
    Sunshine: 44 hours (223% of the 4-day June LTA) (up to 14:00 on June 4th) (25% of the whole June LTA)

    Don't do weedkiller.. :(
    Pull out the weeds, strim them, or learn to love them. I hate that brown strip weedkiller leaves outside peoples gates/walls. Can never understand why it seems preferable to some than lovely weeds.

    To be somewhat on topic, clouded over here in NW (Sligo-ish direction) this afternoon, though it has been a hell of a ride these past 2 weeks. LOVING IT!
    (More please.....)

    Today for me was an identical day synopitcally to the good summer spells of 2014. Fantastic morning and early afternoon where temperatures peaked, followed by rapid cloud development into total cloud cover, then a return to clear conditions in the evening time when there's not much heat left in the sun at that point. E/SE breezes are a killer for kicking off convection over land, leaving that famous strip of clear down the East Coast all the way around to Waterford (Bigger band of cloud drifting overland upsetting that part though!) and a few other areas that seem to avoid it.

    Worried regards cloud for the next few days, it's always a frustrating one when scope is there for some 20+ degree weather but it to thrwarted by clouds. It always seems some favoured areas get away with it and other areas are always impacted. At least today even under cloud cover it was still enjoyably warm. Do fear for my location, always seem to get cloudy afternoons when the wind comes from the East.

    Still think at some point Wednesday we will see a possible 27 degree spot or two (Shannon or Mt Dillon seem to be very warm spots for high temperature watches the last while, always fighting to be the hottest in the country).

    I hate it when people add 'Costa Del' to the name of their town anytime the Sun comes out.

    East of the country? It has been blue skies at Grange here in Dublin 13 since 12:00 and I am probably sweating the most ever in my life - that is how muggy it is here and I have me windows opened :P.

    I’m dubious about the Shannon location accuracy. It seems that this met station is more often than not the highest or in the top 3 or 5 highest temp locations in the country. I think the acres of hot concrete on the aircraft aprons affect & increase the temp data there.

    I kept an eye on this 3 years ago during the July 2013 heatwave {and occasionally since}. Anyway, I saw one particular midnight met eireann report said Shannon was 19C (I lived 18km away as the crow flies at the time with no hills or anything that might alter temperatures in between) so I went outside at 12.20am bare chested in my y-fronts to check if it felt like 19C and it was cold - no balmy heat, no sultry summer heat, no heat at all
    it was just a typical Irish (chilly) summers midnight.

    So as much as I’d like to think of Shannon as a blessed hotspot, I just think it over reads its temperature due to all the airport concrete and taramac (Dublin & Cork airport don’t seem to over read as much).

    i would tend to agree with you there, it always seems to be a "hot spot" . as you say probably all the tarmac etc . the Mount Dillon one for instance is in a far more rural location pictured here

    Thank you :). I have had an interest in weather since I was about 5 actually. Here's a picture of me at the top of Met Éireann (Here's me at Met Éireann Robert :pac:) when I was only 9 on 20 July 2010 :pac::pac:. Excuse my freaky smile :o:pac::pac:. Thanks so much the both of you.

    Yeah good point actually. Didn't realise how long ago the last very warm nights took place and the closest I could find is June 30th / July 1st last year but even that was nothing whilst in 2014, the nights weren't that warm.

    2014 was a good Summer, a high of around 28/29 here in Limerick in mid July but 2013 has it beat, sunnier, hotter and warmer nights. I remember checking weather apps and for about three weeks in July 2013 the day and night temps never dropped below 16. There was one Saturday night in July 2013 where the temp stayed well above 20, the house was unbearable that night, no breeze or anything just dead heat! I'm hoping for a 2013 summer, June started off like this year, maybe a week or so later though.

    Went for a 5 mile run after 9pm this evening.
    What a fabulous day and evening. The great thing about these past few days is the lack of high humidity.

    Normally it is difficult to enjoy warm weather in Ireland but these past few days there has been a lovely cool breeze as the sun set. It makes the warm weather enjoyable.
