    23 degrees here near Fr Ted's house, probably all the limestone in the surrounding area is magnifying the heat.

    It's dead. It was probably aided by the Wicklow Mountains, which also ripped it apart.

    It seems to have passed us by in Firhouse, sky brighter and only minimal rainfall.
    Wah, wah! Was hoping for a decent thunderstorm.....

    There is more development to come through Wicklow this afternoon and further inland but these pulse like storms don't last long unfortunately. Another miss in the last hour.

    A nice bang of thunder there in Portlaoise, after a savage downpour.

    Can hear thunder to my west now here near Arklow
    It's not far away
    Cannot see the hills or cloudscapes or cb's anymore as this is close enough to cloud the sky and I can feel the odd drops of rain

    If this comes to fruition - and the ECMWF has been very consistent about this over the last couple of days, some could be seeing some explosive storms developing later this week and into the weekend.

    ECM 06z run for Wed up to Fri showing excessive amounts 'total column water' moving up over Ireland from both the near continent and Biscay which is also associated with exceptionally high CAPE values (for Ireland)

    The earlier ECM 00z run (the 06z run does not go out that far) showed severe thunderstorm potential, initially for the SW, then into Leinster & east Ulster in particular for the Fri/Sat period:

    I think if this model has found a way to lock onto this pattern over the next couple of days, we could be looking at opening a separate thread closer the time... or, as is just as likely, it could all go big titties up.

    Dropped up to a friends house in Walshestown around 1100 this morning and his house was hit by fork lightning and blew the power. We had to manually override and push his gates open so I could get out to collect my kid from school. Two of us in pi$$ing rain with fork lightning landing around us... you couldn't make it up.

    Having wished for it all week I'd happily not ever get as close to it again. On a positive note we are now thunder buddies for life!

    finally some hazy sunshine here in Meath and temperatures have climbed to 19C, making today equal to 1st of June as the warmest day of the month and the summer so far.

    Looks to be a small thunderstorm west of Trim, could be heading for the Navan direction.

    So the Dart has taken me from under overcast skies in DCC to blue skies in North Dublin.

    Lovely

    Cork Airport weather station is always fairly unrepresentative of the city. It's amazing the difference being on top of an exposed hill makes Vs in a valley with a big harbour.

    Yep but still interesting. My garden thermostat read a max of 23.7 degrees today!

    When my thermostat is broken I usually +2 to the temp that the airport is reading!

    City center then could have been totally different again due to that river breeze etc (was still warm though when i was in there today!)

    Oh Cork city and your many climates :p

    today maxed out at 19C here in Meath, back to 18C now, so still waiting to reach 20C this summer, hopefully I may get that by tomorrow.
