Summer 2019 - General Discussion

June was officially the warmest month ever globally.

The highest temps EVER have been recorded in Alaska and France where over 45 degrees was reached.

Berlin has been sweltering. The highest June temp ever was recorded in Germany.

Records were broken in Switzerland.

I could go on and on.

Even in places where records weren't broken, temps have generally been above average for June and July.

Ireland is a huge outlier here. EVERY station in the country was cooler than average in June here. July will be about average at best I'd say.

Funny the stuff that doesn't get mentioned/hyped in the media

Second highest temperature in the 7 years I've recorded here at 27.7C. Highest was 29.1 last year.

In a back garden though presumably albeit with a Davis in your case ?
Back gardens will always be warmer than the ambient exposed air temp for essentially a more extreme version of why clones and kilkenny met Éireann stations were closed
Even with a fan assisted Davis,unless theres a free flow of air from outside the garden,the fan is essentially only moving the same air within the enclosed garden
Phoenix park is a better measure of the capitals temp but even it is surrounded by an urban heat island albeit being the accurate temp (imho) for the city because it has a good airflow
It was reading 24 at 1pm so very likely to get to 27 or 28 by 3 or 4pm if the sun stays
Cloudy mostly in Arklow and 22.5c
Wind gusting a warm Scirrocco to 50kmh SW :eek:

Edited to add Phoenix park 25c at 2pm

Poster said it was the second hottest he/she recorded HERE.. it's an accurate reading for wherever he/she located!

Yes,I added a point of information, an important point of information

A point that seems to be added every time someone posts a temp.

The temp for the posters location is surley more useful than the temp in the wilderness miles away? It's not like it's an official reading, it's the posters location.

Nope..that's the 2nd time Afair,dont be exaggerating!
Just science ,what section of boards is the weather forum in?
Imagine if met Éireann put out forecasts for peoples back garden temps instead of the real likely temps
The world of met would laugh at them

It's a Davis vantage view in my back garden.
It is quite windy today here even in the garden, it is over reading but not by much. This direction always delivers here in the summer, I think there is a mini Fohn type effect, humidity is also quite low at 55% considering we are about 2km from the sea here in Loughlinstown. High so far now 28.7C

yeah,appreciate that
The M11 station is almost at loughlinstown and at 140pm it was reading 26.7c
I compare my own to the Arklow one which is less than a mile away and its usually about a degree warmer mainly probably due to the tarmac
