Orange warning re fire danger

https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2018/0623/972692-forest-fire/

I was in Kerry on the edge of the National Park the year of the fires and a shocking time it was. One day woke to see fires in literally almost every direction. Was ready to evacuate..

I know boardsies will take care;thank you..

Meteorite58 · 23-06-2018 6:54pm

The SE / E heating up quickly tomorrow morning. The AROME showing temperatures edging ahead of others around KilKenny / Carlow region.

Looks like not as much cloud as today, probably a thin veil of cirrus.

West midlands the focus of the heat then?
I'll be spending the first half of the week in Galway City, second half in Cork City.

Will be interesting to see if there will be any difference in heat levels.
Galway City to have some nice onshore breeze?

How far inland do these onshore cooling breezes go?

I live about 10 miles east of Galway city (near athenry weather station) and the temperature was about 2-3c higher here all the time during the last heatwave 2 weeks ago.
Athenry weather station should be the one to watch next wednesday by the looks of that Arpege chart.

See the darkest red spot on the entire map? Yep, that is on top of my head.

RobertKK · 23-06-2018 7:10pm

26C on that for me for tomorrow, but with Siobhan Ryan saying tomorrow will be 1C to 2C warmer than today where it reached 24.6C, then that would back up what she said.
Still around 23C here.

Farmers are suffering over on their forum. No rain= no growth = hay/silage shortage this winter.

The country needs rain badly, I know some would like to shoot me for saying that. None of us want a strong Atlantic regime, the interval between the last warm spell and this one has been so disappointing in terms of rainfall, some parts of the country did well, the northern part in particular but other areas will just continue to see fields turn less and less green.
It is a big concern and it will start affecting urban areas more too as reservoir levels continue to fall.
We have to take what comes, and what has been happening with our weather has been exceptional.

Meteorite58 · 23-06-2018 7:27pm

The Jet giving us a wide berth over the next few days.

For sure.

And we should all be mindful of conserving water supplies over the summer.
I mean we should be doing that anyway, but especially during this very warm spell.

Meteorite58 · 23-06-2018 7:44pm

The ECM 12Z latest predicted temperatures. Wow, becoming a scorcher as the week goes on.

A Fridge too Far · 23-06-2018 7:49pm

No heatwave yet in Dublin 5. Just back from a cycle and it's pretty chilly in the wind, especially at the coast. Hopefully tomorrow is warmer.

igCorcaigh · 23-06-2018 7:49pm

Woah!

Evenings and nights are still predicted to be a bit chilly, but as the high pressure builds, night temps are not going to go below 15C

cyclops999 · 23-06-2018 7:50pm

Cracking day in Athlone today, will we be in line for some of the high temps next week?

I would think so!
Lived in Athlone once, some very lovely ice cold winters and hot summers

No Atlantic influence there, for sure.

pauldry · 23-06-2018 8:39pm

lovely day in Sligo but only 15c because of constant NW wind every day since last heatwave

Sycamore Tree · 23-06-2018 8:47pm

Beautiful day in Galway. Absolutely perfect.

sryanbruen · 23-06-2018 9:33pm

RTÉ Weather said 31c was possible.

Mobhi1 · 23-06-2018 9:41pm

14.1C now with some cloud about. The high was 21.7C. There was a bit of a coolish breeze today but it was refreshing when the temperatures were higher,

Cantona's Collars · 23-06-2018 9:45pm

Hit 22c here in Wexford and it felt pleasant with a bit of a breeze. My back garden however is a real suntrap and the temperature gets even higher.
People already saying "oh it's so hot",I wonder what they're gonna say by midweek next week.

Oneiric 3 · 23-06-2018 9:46pm

ECM ensemble chart at day 10 (late next weekend) Pressure falling to the south and west. Thundery low development possible?

JackieChan · 23-06-2018 9:48pm

Beaut day here in Laois, I was doing a little cleanup at the front of the house this afternoon and there was no breeze and the heat in the sun felt so intense. Not sure how we will cope if its 5-6 degrees higher later in the week!

Chris_5339762 · 23-06-2018 9:53pm

Arpege showing up 32º for Galway on Wednesday.

Elmer Blooker · 23-06-2018 10:00pm

I'm finding it hard to get excited about this spell. An easterly flow in summer means its too chilly for a day at the seaside and a dip. One of these will be required along the east coast, also some warm clothing comes in handy when a sea fog rolls in.
Those who don't live along the east coast take care if swimming in lakes and rivers and DEFINITELY DO NOT swim if drink has been taken!
Today was quite chilly in the wind with the temperature around 17c which is probably slightly below average for mid-summer.

I live in Portmarnock. It was not chilly today. Was a stunning blue skies day.

ME had 24 degrees in their graphic for Dublin tomorrow..

mg1982 · 23-06-2018 10:26pm

Was a beautiful sunny day but there was a real chill in that breeze.

Danno · 23-06-2018 10:32pm

AWS max of 23.4c in South Laois this evening. Hardly a breeze all day, just a little west drift around 4mph. Unbroken sunshine and humidity between 38% and 42%. Beautiful. Currently 16.7c and calm with a red sky as the slight overhead haze gets illuminated in the setting sun.

17c is bang on average for mid-summer.

If you fancy a house exchange for the next couple of weeks, I'm on. Would gladly take an east coast sea breeze over a motionless 28c in the swamps.

pad199207 · 23-06-2018 10:37pm

Perfect day here in Kildare. Hit 24.6c which was expected as it felt every bit of it!

20c by the coast in Wexford town,very nice as Wexford town always seems to feel cold with the breeze.

Ms2011 · 23-06-2018 11:02pm

Was in Dublin today & was quite shocked at how brown & straw like the grass was. My grass here in Carlow is starting to yellow some but it still has some moisture left in it.

mickger844posts · 23-06-2018 11:03pm

Max temp of 21.1c in Waterford City with hazy sunshine. Felt very warm is sunshine but cooler in the shade. The real heat arrives tomorrow so lets enjoy what that brings.

Oscar Bravo · 23-06-2018 11:12pm

I cannot wait for the high temperatures,here in Mayo we get rubbish weather most of the year,low cloud,mist,drizzle. Its 1112pm and its still bright with a lovely orange glow.Ramp up them temperatures,higher the better.

uck51js9zml2yt · 23-06-2018 11:15pm

I drove down to kerry during the week and was amazed at the greenery everywhere

Ultimate Seduction · 23-06-2018 11:16pm

Which part of the coast will be warmest tomorrow, east south or west?

No real rain in about six weeks really

Kermit.de.frog · 23-06-2018 11:33pm

18z GFS showing signs of seeing extending of the very warm and settled weather pattern right through next weekend and in to the early days of the following week at least.

But it is how dry things look that I have a feeling will turn in to a concern sooner rather than later...

Next Monday, rinse and repeat...

Just 12.7mm of rain here in Waterford since May 12th, grass is yellow and burned. I'm surprised there is not much more talk of drought. Definitely the driest spell of weather iv'e ever experienced.

Dublin City Council have curtailed their grass cutting programme in many areas. There is not much growing happening.

Low of 3.8c to high of 24.1c Saturday!

Gonzo · 24-06-2018 12:38am

at my location today was almost 4C warmer than yesterday, but yesterday's stronger sunshine and less haze felt warmer than today in general! Today's breeze also felt chillier than yesterdays.
