Met eireann are now giving heavy rain likely Saturday. How likely is this. Up to an hour ago the were only giving 0.9mm or so. That would be fine for my farming job I'm in the middle of. But heavy rain saturday into Sunday would scupper me. Can Sryan or Gonzo update on this because the good dry weather seems to be going out with a bang. I need to take alternative tomorrow if more than light rain falls over the weekend. Advice really appreciated folks.

Where in ireland are you?

I see the cold front coming in early saturday to the west and clearing slightly later on. But then the east will continue to get the rain during the day.

Yes I was sitting on the Rosie Hackett Bridge and it felt chilly there, even with a hoodie on. As soon as I moved away it felt noticeably warmer.

appledrop · 27-06-2019 4:26pm

Wow 27+ 28 degrees reached in last hour at Valentina + Shannon. Still not 20 yet at Dublin airport. The breeze is killing it.

Still I prefer a day of wall to wall sunshine then a warm but cloudy one.

It is all falling apart. I see the highest temps for Friday have been revised downwards to 26. Mark my words, we will be lucky to see 24.

eon1208 · 27-06-2019 8:55pm

I'm in the general Portlaoise area. I think there is still a chance Saturday could hold dry. Fingers and toes crossed. Its hay weather.

Ireland is one of the most beautiful country's in the world when the sun shines.

Today was perfect in the south, very warm with blue skies but with a nice strong breeze to make it tolerable!

acequion · 27-06-2019 9:11pm

A glorious day in Tralee if ever there was one. I was in Spain for nearly three weeks and today was almost as hot here as the hottest over there. I'm not great on exact temps,hopefully my neighbour Meteorite will be on later with proper stats, but I'd wager it got up to 27/28. Anyone not satisfied with this in terms of heat and sunshine would want their heads examined.

Now what happens next is another matter but I thoroughly enjoyed this perfect summers day.

mojesius · 27-06-2019 9:12pm

Achill was fab today, went swimming at Keem Beach. Perfect day

ZX7R · 27-06-2019 11:05pm

Grand evening out.

OldRio · 28-06-2019 9:09am

About 22C yesterday in Leitrim. But the wind was strong and took the edge of the temperature. Nice day but no way would I classify it as 'heatwave'

In your part of the world no it wasn't a heatwave

iamwhoiam · 28-06-2019 9:22am

I am not really bothered about a heatwave anyway !
Just to wake up to a bright sky , be able to open windows and feel warm . Have a shower and not shiver getting out !

Sit out for a while and have coffee outside Hang out a line of towels and bring them in dry .

Potter about and do bits and bobs and feel warm but not sweating
Sit by the sea but not swelter or burn and sit out in the evening with a nice cool bit of air in the garden Thats my good summer !

lawred2 · 28-06-2019 9:29am

19 - 25 with little breeze and a sun in the sky is perfect for me..

warm mornings and evenings are blissful

appledrop · 28-06-2019 10:56am

Today is unreal in Dublin. Relaxing here on Portmarnock beach with no a cloud in sky + no breeze whatsoever! Also not too busy as primary schools still open today.

I picked the right day to take off yipeeee!

What primary schools are open on 28th of June ?

ninebeanrows · 28-06-2019 11:26am

I hope to bejasus that cloud doesn't creep over Dublin later as the moaning will never let up if it does!

They were out under the shade of the trees having a picnic !

appledrop · 28-06-2019 11:47am

Nearly all primary schools open today but it's their last day + most finished early

Gonzo · 28-06-2019 11:53am

Finally a properly warm day here in Meath, first one of the summer. Should get to 23 or 24C here later. Tomorrow should see similar temperatures before the cooler air is in place by Sunday.

We have been fairly cool up to today, so this cooler air at the beginning of next week won't really feel that different with the exception of today's heat and tomorrows warmth. Temperatures may go back into the low 20s from Tuesday or Wednesday, so a fairly decent week to come once we get the 2 cool days out of the way.

The very high upper air temperatures are beginning to slide back from today, but the funny thing is much of the eastern half of the country never really felt any result from those uppers till today, the bizzare thing is when the uppers have normalised, it won't feel as different as you may think.

All of them? Maybe some who didn’t take mid term break in Feb closed earlier but the majority finished today.

Emme · 28-06-2019 12:27pm

Overcast and blustery in South Kildare. About 16 or 17C.

Clonmel1000 · 28-06-2019 12:42pm

I’m not being funny but the heatwave? A one day event? If it’s 16/17 in Kildare and overcast and gloomy in the south?

It's not a heatwave, but today is quite pleasant in Dublin, nicest day since Easter Sunday for me. Looks like it's going back to some rain and cloud etc tomorrow but still staying warm by Irish standards and that's the end of it.

Wednesday afternoon and yesterday was warm and sunny in South Kildare. This morning was sunny but it got cloudy around 11am and it is colder now at 16/17 than it was this morning at 9am.

There may be a heatwave on the continent but in Ireland it has been a below average summer so far. One day does not make a heatwave. We seem to be getting one good day per week on average since last Sunday. The rest is meh.

Why's everyone talking about mercury so much. Should I be worried? Is it in the water?

Spare us continent-dwellers a thought: car temp said 51C at 17:43 day before yesterday (43C yesterday).

Ah mercury. It brings back memories of rolling silver balls along the bench in science class. That's why we're all mad as hatters now.

Seriously you shouldn't worry about mercury unless you break an old style glass thermometer and it escapes.

Standman · 28-06-2019 1:29pm

There must have been a spillage it's affecting the roads as well

Cork city is just woeful. Dark grey misty

iamwhoiam · 28-06-2019 6:07pm

Just on the news , 45.8 in Provence in France today . God love them struggling in that . Give me 20 degrees anyday

appledrop · 28-06-2019 7:30pm

Today was a perfect day on beach. Not a breeze + gorgeous but a heat that you could stay in all day especially when paddling in sea.

Yes there were hotter days last year during heatwave but they were too warm with a toddler we could only stay for max of 2 hours.

Sometimes the sun god's do work in your favour!

acequion · 28-06-2019 8:04pm

Another beautiful day in Tralee. Sunny, very warm and wonderfully summery. Oh that these sweet summer days might never end.:pac:

That it was. Bit of a dodgy start with darkening cloud and felt a few drops in the wind and was only about 18C around noon but brightened up quickly in the early afternoon with got a top temp later in the afternoon of 23.2C and currently 18.8C. Nice blue skies and small Cu about.

Chris_5339762 · 28-06-2019 9:02pm

Very misty and drizzly in Cork. Expected some cloud and the odd shower but it really was a crap day.

acequion · 28-06-2019 9:02pm

Hi Meteorite58. What did the temperature get up to yesterday in Tralee?

Cantona's Collars · 28-06-2019 9:04pm

The sun only coming out now in Wexford. A wee bit late in the day.

eon1208 · 28-06-2019 11:04pm

Day never opened up at all in the Laois area. Sun was out at 7am in all its glory. Disappeared at 8 not to return even once. Very disappointing day after the beautiful Thursday.

Are you the poster with hay down? Do you think you will get it tomorrow?

Graces7 · 29-06-2019 6:39am

grey and still out here. Not really been out the door as hungover from meds after y;days severe migraine caused by the proximity of thunder,

Will catch up later but am relieved the west is being spared today,,,, so quiet...

km79 · 29-06-2019 9:30am

Gorgeous morning in the west

Clonmel1000 · 29-06-2019 11:11am

Is this the heatwave? 17.5 degrees and rain?

sadly it didn't really happen for many of us, the south and west got about 1 day of warmth, the east had a few hours of hazy warm sunshine yesterday and cloudy since about 2pm yesterday, this is now the breakdown.
