Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

the wind is blowing from the southeast, the car park is to the north. How does that heat get to the weather station?
The car park is 'quite close' but still more than 50 metres from the weather station, and the weather station itself is on an elevated site
The carpark and buildings cover the whole eastern 180 ° of the station, and a southeast flow has the longest fetch over the hot surface (almost 200 metres). The centre of the square compound is only around 10 metres from the tarmac.

Also add that 76 heatwave lasted from early June to end of August Huge thunderstorms ended it
I explained all the facts and figures in my Summer 1976 which I posted here on the 20th June.sryanbruen wrote: »Lots of comparisons will be made with this heatwave to 1976 and as a result, I have made this video to give you an insight into the Summer of 1976.
It was the year that ABBA was number one on the charts and Denis Howell was appointed Minister for Drought (but was followed by thunderstorms and a very wet Autumn).

Sorry

Nothing to be sorry about dude, just showing you the video. Perhaps I could intrigue you into researching more about Summer 1976 after seeing it. Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

Bing Maps has slightly clearer satellite imagery for that area, in case it's useful:

For those of you who have home weather stations , where is the best location for the thermometer ? Granted I won’t have an ideal spot as I live in a 3 bed semi.
Currently have it attached to a trellis in middle of garden.. would like to upgrade my current set up..
I'm also in a 3-bed semi with a back garden of sorts so not the ideal location for a weather station. I mounted mine in a concrete base within a flower-pot which means I can move it about a little in order to avoid direct sunlight.

Was Shannon on this page? It doesn't seem to be right now.
EDIT: Then again, none of the synoptic Airport stations are (Cork and Dublin too) along with others like Casement Aerodrome.

Brilliant idea ,thanks for that. It’s time I invested in a better set up...0 -

Sorry, I thought the weather station was somewhere different.
Looks like an awful place to put it, but I've gone and checked an old photograph from the 1950s and it appears that the car park and at least some of those buildings were there back then. And if that's the case, then even if there is a heat island there, at least it's been there since the start.
