    Imagine it hit 30 in May. West of Ireland will be hotter than the UK

    Tomorrow according to Met Eireann

    “Temperatures will be 25 degrees in the afternoon widely across the country, typically reaching 20 degrees at the coasts and as high as 29 degrees is possible in the west.”

    What’s our May Record High again?

    It will be really interesting to watch that. Latest Gfs has high pressure over or near Ireland all the way through to early June. No sign of the Atlantic influence at all. This has been remarkable spell of weather since mid March. Only a couple of minor interruptions really and very little rain. Let's see what Ecm says, latest run starting now.

    Ha ha Ecm has big blue low pressure over us by day 9/10. Far away to be reliable thankfully but we shall see.

    Temps look good tomorrow, but lots of cloud around unfortunately. Hopefully we get some good breaks.
    Beautiful morning today, but cloud cover should be here by midday. F*ck off clouds!

    No mention of 29 degrees tomorrow, according to their 09:35 update on their site. I think 29 is stretching it but 27 is possible.
    TOMORROW - Thursday 28th May
    Tomorrow, Thursday will be dry and very warm in many areas with good sunshine and afternoon highs of 22 to 26 degrees, higher in parts of the west and southwest, cooler on eastern and southern coasts with onshore breezes. Winds will be light to moderate from a southeast direction, locally fresh.

    18 degrees in D9. The E breeze is gentle mostly but you can feel that it is not yet a warm one so as long as it persists this week my area will struggle to breach 20-22 degrees. It's effects aren't too penetrating though as much of inland East/SE are doing well on the wow stations.

    20C here in Meath, currently Oak Park and Moore Park leading the way with 21C, most of the country now in the 19 to 21C range, could get to 23C maybe 24C in a few places later.

    sea breezes look like shaving off a few degrees, particularly the southern coasts, Met Eireann have the Cork coastal region only 15C tomorrow because of the breeze, east coast will be around 18C tomorrow but once you go a few km inland the temperatures should rise fast.

    beautiful in Dublin, RTE got it wrong again saying it was going to be cloudy all afternoon. It may be below 20c with the breeze but in my back garden it feels like I'm on holiday in Spain and the tan is coming on great :D

    A tranquil scene on the shores of Lough Conn in Co.Mayo early this afternoon. It became a bit more cloudy as the day wore on but still turned into a lovely calm evening with a nice evening sky.

    Yesterday morning and especially yesterday evening were absolutely glorious here.Words can’t describe how happy this weather makes me. Sunny again this morning but definitely not as warm as yesterday and that breeze is back again. Hopefully it dies down and we’ve another scorcher.

    amazing morning here in Meath, 20C already! Last time we had it this warm this early in the day was June 2018.

    Make the most of the next 4 to 5 warm days, this is Ireland afterall and this could be our best week of summer weather this year. I am hoping of course we will have more spells like this in June and July but ye never know, make the most of it while it is here.

    This is also an unusual spell where Ireland is benefiting the most from the warmth compared to the mainland UK.

    There is a small bit of a one from the south/south east. It's a bit.more chilly then yesterday but the sun itself is warm so in some ways cancels out

    23.7°c here in West Clare at 12:00 midday.

    Yesterday's max was 23.3°c so it's already beaten.

    Breeze here today however it's light and probably needed!
