Autumn is sneaking back in slowly. Clear nights and mornings are getting chilly.

Two mornings in a row now with temperatures between 10C & 11C

Yep and August so far, or should I say all of the Summer has so far been very warm, minimum temperature wise.

My sister is getting married this Saturday - what's the likelihood of getting some decent weather around the North Kildare/Trim area?

km79 · 25-08-2016 10:34am

Lovely day yday
Lovely start to the morning
Will we get back to back dry days for the first time since June ? Computer says NO

going to a wedding myself on Saturday. Some of Saturday will be decent, but there is a chance of heavy showers especially as the day goes on. If your lucky you could escape with a dry sunny day but on the other hand you could be in line for several showers. luck of the draw. It will be warmish at around 19-21C.

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 11:06am

next week is looking increasingly pleasant especially along the east with a good deal of dry weather and temps up to 23C at times.

Shots at the bar?

21c and the sun is shining

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 12:39pm

glorious day here 19C but feels warmer, expected to hit 21C in the afternoon. We may have missed out on the UK/Euro heatwave but this isn't a bad compromise.

sryanbruen · 25-08-2016 12:40pm

Fog is still lingering here :mad: with a bit of hazy sunshine.

Was wondering what that was, can see it here over to my south-east.

hmm it seems to be getting closer here now.

Yeah I can see some blue skies gradually coming here now.

sryanbruen · 25-08-2016 1:19pm

I would also give myself a 6/10 for my predictions of this Summer :P. I lost a few points on saying July and August to be sunny.

pedigree 6 · 25-08-2016 1:36pm

Here in wexford.
Interesting looking at the lower level clouds going north to south and the higher level whispy clouds going south to north.:)

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 1:37pm

21C here now, sun no longer unbroken, the haze/fog to the east is now causing some fluffy clouds to blot out the sun from time to time.

23c and sunny

Danno · 25-08-2016 1:51pm

Another lovely day here - very little cloud and light winds. Already nudging 21c.

High level cloud built up last night just before sunset and some vivid colours were noted. The camera probably doesn't do this justice:

Raining in West Clare, 19.5c.

RobertKK · 25-08-2016 3:33pm

Around 23C and sunny with some clouds.

ArKl0w · 25-08-2016 3:45pm

Lovely bit of cloud structure viewable from Arklow
This is looking west,if boards will let me attach it
Behind out of shot loads of wavy almost mammatus like
We are under said cloud looking longingly at the blue

pad199207 · 25-08-2016 4:45pm

Beautiful day. Great to see the posters with their Playa Del ****e and their Costa Del Crap are not around today because of the high cloud covering the East Coast. Heehee

km79 · 25-08-2016 5:26pm

absolutely peeing in East galway
all the drying from last 2 days undone

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 5:35pm

clouded over here now and 19C. the blue skies are being squeezed by rain over the west and the cloudy/fog from the Irish sea.

JCX BXC · 25-08-2016 5:36pm

Extremely heavy rain passed through West Clare.

Must say whilst I do post the actual conditions in Arklow and do describe the weather here as beautiful often,I've NEVER ever said anything like 'Great to see the rest of the country dull,or Great to see the rest of the country wet Hehee'

Lovely day in Arklow none the less ,with some sun and another day this Summer above 20 with my lunch being eaten outside
Cannot complain

It was clear and sunny all day here in Dublin 16 until about an hour ago!

Senna · 25-08-2016 6:03pm

Thunder and lightening hampering the search efforts off bundoran coast today. Lovely here on east Donegal but looks like it won't last long.

Just about to click send, looked out the window and yep, there's the rain.

Xenji · 25-08-2016 6:06pm

Pleasant evening in Castlebar, currently 18.3C, the last two days have been very overcast with the best weather coming in the evenings.

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 6:37pm

sun back here again, beautiful calm, sunny warm evening.

sryanbruen · 25-08-2016 6:42pm

Not a lot of sunshine as expected today here but it was pleasant nonetheless.

Oscar Bravo · 25-08-2016 6:47pm

A real mix of weather across the country at the moment, a intense band of showers up through the middle of the country at the moment, lovely and sunny out behind that band here in the west in a light south westerly wind.

Danno · 25-08-2016 6:53pm

A max of 23c here. Prolonged sunshine. East horizon looked heavy and grey at times and could see convection to the far west. We are lucky with the middle slice today.

Trebor176 · 25-08-2016 7:54pm

Beautiful weather in Dublin all day and yesterday. I managed to catch some rays during my lunch break in work

Oscar Bravo · 25-08-2016 8:03pm

Beautiful evening in Castlebar as the sun begins to go down

km79 · 25-08-2016 8:27pm

Next week looks dry
PLEASE DONT CHANGE

Gonzo · 25-08-2016 9:00pm

next week will be back to school weather.... plenty of blue skies, temps in the 20s.

Until Hurricane Gaston puts a damper on everybody's face :P, jk.

BabyE · 25-08-2016 10:32pm

Its weird, if it remains dry, then the perception of this summer just changes completely, it will have rained in the daytime(not including flash downpour or spitting of rain due to humidity, I'm talking gloomy Irish wet weather) about 5 times in south dublin in august.

pauldry · 26-08-2016 12:28pm

After looking back on this Summer after all me complaining about wrong forecasts it has actually turned out to be quite non descript.

What do you expect in an Irish Summer?

Well here goes....

A couple of days in the mid to high twenties in total
Maybe one day of 30c
Bank Holiday August washout somewhere
Great weather in the West in late May and early June
Drizzle in the Northwest most of July
Some bright weather with showers near the end of August
Very little rain in the South and East for most of July and August
One or two episodes of intense thunderstorms
Warmest temperature to be recorded in July
and finally ... a lot of horrid close weather

I think all these boxes have been ticked....now for Autumn

I don't think anywhere got 30C? i think 27C was the highest temperature this summer?

Eh 'em... Mt. Dillon on 19 July.

sryanbruen · 26-08-2016 1:15pm

How does 2016's maximum temperature compare with recent years?

2016: 30.4c on July 19th
2015: 25.6c on June 30th
2014: 28.8c on July 25th
2013: 31.0c on July 19th
2012: 27.0c on August 10th
2011: 26.0c on June 3rd
2010: 26.4c on June 21st
2009: 28.6c on June 2nd
2008: 25.2c on July 24th
2007: 25.9c on June 11th
2006: 32.3c on July 19th

So counting all these years, 30c has only been reached or exceeded in 2006, 2013 and 2016.

sryanbruen · 26-08-2016 1:20pm

The low on Saturday looks like staying in the UK and us here in the east will escape it.

pauldry · 26-08-2016 3:52pm

curiously every time wev reached 30c or more its July 19th....

God Ive way too much time on my hands

When was the last 30c non July 19th

I remember August 8th i think in 2003 ...

Is that it?
