Not a cloud in the sky in South tipp,probably the last morning for a while we will see it

I'm in south Tipp and there's definitely some cloud in the sky bit nothing that offers rain, I thought we could have thunder yesterday evening but it passed.
Another beautiful morning but it has it's downside, all the fields around here are burned dry.
I'm not involved in farming but it doesn't take a genius to see how serious this is.

If the fields look anything like the grass verges and greens here in Dublin they are in trouble . The grass here is yellow and brown and lifeless . The trees look stressed with yellowing leaves on some of them .
Beautiful morning in SW Dublin today and a stillness about too , not a puff of wind . The birds are gone very quiet here which is odd

The end of the endless heat has at least paused over here. A welcome wind breathing drizzle and some heavier rain.

Our farmers were out until dark last night with all the big machinery they could muster, getting all the hay they could in before today.

But we are still green here. Hector the Wrector helped . Green all around

Birds silent here too; resting after a busy season...

Super day here. Very few clouds, warm breeze, 23 degrees.

harr · 14-07-2018 12:51pm

Fantastic day here in kildare 23c and no cloud with a lovely breeze..
no rain but plenty of dew in the mornings and can see the grass recovering..

hinault · 14-07-2018 1:54pm

25 Celsius per the car temperature at Newlands Cross just now. Very bright, sunny, weather.

Xenji · 14-07-2018 2:06pm

18.8C in Castlebar and very overcast, spots of light drizzle since early morning and the humidity has yet to fall below 90% since midnight.

Harry Palmr · 14-07-2018 2:12pm

Never ending summer continues, a bit cool first thing but as soon as the sun got above the yardarm very warm - 23C.

Cantona's Collars · 14-07-2018 2:13pm

25c now in Enniscorthy,a bright blue sky overhead.

zisdead · 14-07-2018 2:45pm

25C here in Clondalkin. As crazy as this sounds after all we have just had, this day is by far the best. Breeze. Lovely fresh blue skies, and a warmth you can lie out in without a bead of sweat.

Who needs the med?

Scorching in my back garden in Drogheda - hot and sweaty ..........so hot I had to come in and watch the tennis ! I know I’ll get berated but I was hoping for a cooler day. I’ve lots to do but keep putting it off when the sun comes out and it get hot!

Things are just so dried up , all the shrubs losing their leaves now , golden and rust colors like Autumn , not 14 July . Trying to get birds hydrated but they’ve disappeared lately.

I’m off hiking to Mournes tomorrow so hope it’s cooler . I’ve had enough of this heat ! (I know I know .....I’ll get abuse .....but it’s just me)

14-07-2018 3:14pm

Was up in Malahide this morning and there was a huge fire somewhere up around the golf course at the back of the Grand Hotel, fire brigades rushing to it and the entire village was covered in a layer of smoke. I was in a shop the the lady was complaining as the clothes would be smelling of smoke! We never thought we’d have such problems !

dieselbug · 14-07-2018 3:21pm

I was out the back trying to do a bit of tidying in the back garden but had to come in out of it, too hot in the open sun.
The bird can't feed off the soil it's so hard and not much berries yet. They will have moved nearer water I imagine although I can guarantee if I put out the dogs dish with nuts in it I will have about 50 crows in twenty minutes :mad:

DOCARCH · 14-07-2018 3:28pm

Aside from a smoke haze/stench of smoke, a stunning day in Dublin 16. Clear blue skies. Just reached 27.0c.

shakeitoff · 14-07-2018 3:34pm

Lovely around Seapoint, DL, Blackrock but felt sorry for the beach goers in Killiney, it's so windy. If I was going to the beach I'd never go to Killiney, the weather waivers too much even compared to towns just along the dart line.

Yes , same, crows, magpies and starlings but none of the little ones .

Oneiric 3 · 14-07-2018 3:39pm

Only 17c here, but with a 90%+ humidity, feels no more fresher or pleasant than the 20s and 30s of recent times. I can't wait for this summer to end. Rain tot today so far is 0.3mm, which came in the form of a prolonged mizzle that could barely be felt on the skin. Totally pointless and totally useless.

That's the first time I've ever seen someone call rain pointless.

morticia2 · 14-07-2018 3:56pm

Seems to be raining small bits of ash here in Ballybrack, from a clear blue sky. Probably from Bray head, at a guess. Otherwise great drying weather, but methinks I’ll pass on hanging laundry out..ðŸ”¥ðŸ˜±

It’s been some 12 months

Storm Ophelia , 2 feet of snow in March and then the relentless heat in summer

Always thought a climate with big contrasts would be great but now I just want our unique weather back

Mullaghteelin · 14-07-2018 4:30pm

Being plagued with a strong southeasterly sea breeze in Balbriggan, wheres the bloody southwesterly!
A lot windier here than Dublin airport 25km away, strongest gusts touching 30kmph.
Wall to wall blue sky over the irish sea, some fluffy cumulus cloud over the land. The cloud has retreated further inland away from the coast through the afternoon, with blue sky taking over completely.

I think the feeling is that mizzle only wets eg vegetation, so does no real good as it is the ground that needs the water.. Will check when it stops here to see if the ground is damp although we have had more than mizzle here I am sure. There are small puddles on the concrete path

Supercell · 14-07-2018 5:12pm

A smoky (from Bray fire) warm evening here, 25C currently, feeling very muggy as little or no wind.

ZX7R · 14-07-2018 5:21pm

Can really feel the humidity rising here in Kildare ,even with the breeze it feel heavy.
Going to be warm in the bed tonight

ESMITH29 · 14-07-2018 5:47pm

Noticable haze of smoke around Leeson St today and a hint of burnt wood. Any idea where this is coming from? I've seen that there's a fire in Bray? What would cause it to carry so far but lie so low?

When there's a high pressure over land, smoke/smog doesn't rise upwards as normal becuase it's an area of descending air. This is the reason why Los Angeles constantly has smog issues because South California is frequently under the influence of a semi-permanent high pressure.

Class! Brilliant to be able to experience it.

Mobhi1 · 14-07-2018 6:35pm

It's 25.7C here in Glasnevin. It's more cloudy now. The high was 26.9C.

Gaoth Laidir · 14-07-2018 7:42pm

Max synops today

26.5 - Oak Park
26.4 - Casement
25.7 - Dublin Airport
23.1 - Gurteen

I was playing golf next door to Casement this afternoon and it was glorious. Lots of Aer Corps helis coming and going with the water buckets.

Supercell · 14-07-2018 7:48pm

Wind changed to WSW, temperature shot up, currently 26c, feeling tropical outside in the breeze.

Yep, just up the road from you walking in cabinteely park and it is seriously humid.

Was out in dollymount this evening. Beautiful evening.

harr · 14-07-2018 9:14pm

Cloudy last few hours...temps still up around 22c and humidity at 70 so feeling very muggy and no breeze. Hate it like this because I know sleep will be difficult.
Looking at the rain radar a lot of showers heading this way overnight..
Kildare/Laois border

mickger844posts · 14-07-2018 9:35pm

Unbroken sunshine all day in Waterford City with a Max Temp of 23.3c. The breeze was an issue with it gusting to 40km/h at times.
It will be interesting to see how much rain we get in the South East but i'm not expecting any more than 5mm

mg1982 · 14-07-2018 9:40pm

Its been trying to rain all day here but all we are getting is bits of mist. Hopefully tomorrow brings more. Sligo.

Donegal Storm · 14-07-2018 10:37pm

Beautiful day again, was in a beer garden not far from the coast in Dublin all evening and was sweating just sitting there in the shade. Clouded over a few hours ago but still very warm and humid.

Looks like today will finally be the end of this thread but tentative hints of high pressure returning again next week

Gonzo · 14-07-2018 10:44pm

What a change today, compared to the past 5 days. Blue skies and heat all day, got close to 27C here earlier. currently 22C and a very warm evening like as if I am in Spain. Today was one of the hottest days of the entire year, warmer than the majority of the days over the past 4 weeks.

Danno · 14-07-2018 10:47pm

Clouded over after 3pm after a stunning morning/early afternoon with clear blue sky. AWS max of 24.2c. Currently 19.2c and a light SW breeze. Mostly overcast. Humid.

harr · 14-07-2018 10:48pm

Much rain about ? Looking at the radar it seems showers heading east and currently reaching midland areas..

mrsoundie · 14-07-2018 11:16pm

Just drove from Shannon to Newmarket on Fergus and its light but there is rain, car got a bit of a wash.

Meteorite58 · 14-07-2018 11:17pm

The 850 hPa temps of about 8 to 10C tomorrow followed by the cooler 850 hPa temps of about 6C arriving early Mon morning.

ECM showing getting up to 23C tomorrow in parts ( Met Eireann saying Highs up to 22C )

Cooler on Monday with best temperatures in the East.

nthclare · 14-07-2018 11:19pm

Puddles on the road and splashes from passing cars, along the Corofin to Kilfenora road.....

Such irony posting about rain....

Meteorite58 · 14-07-2018 11:21pm

ECM predicted temperature for Monday

hinault · 14-07-2018 11:21pm

I was in several parts of the capital today.
St.Ann's Park in Raheny, at 2.00pm and the temperature was 26 celsius.

Drove over to the south side and the temperature reading in the car in Macken Street at 5.00pm was 27 celsius.

Back out to Newlands Cross for 7.00pm and the temperature was still 27 celsius.

Absolute opposite here, no sunshine with drizzle on and off all day, and slightly heavier rain in the last hour.

Seen a sight today that I’ve never seen before in this country. Multiple grasshoppers climbing the garden walls
