    My weather station gave a high of 26.2C today.

    I would be happy for this weather to remain if it came with thundery showers, maybe later in the summer, though the Met Office in the UK were showing the possibility of isolated heavy showers breaking out tomorrow.

    Glad the heat is about to dissipate, it has sat here in the midwest for over a week like a giant leech draining the lifeblood. Sleep at a premium, and meandering through the day in first gear. Never one to complain about the sun, however the recent spell has been relentless. Worry about the great balancing act, we seem to be veering from one extreme to other in past two years. Near drought conditions since the middle of March, only two minor rainfall events that passed over quickly. Hopefully a biblical deluge isn't in the works for greater part of summer.

    Well Mother Nature does like to balance herself out so I expect some real deluges aren’t far away after such a dry spell.

    Could be the warmest day of this current spell in the southeast with a long land track northwesterly instead of the sea breeze
    Often the way
    Already 20c in Arklow, that's 3 to 4c warmer than any time this week at this time of the day

    Got to 27.2°c at the climate station in Durrow, Laois County. There may be higher temperatures from other climate stations which won't typically report until early-July unless the station operator makes contact with Met Eireann directly to report a high temperature.

    Absolute roaster of a morning in South Dublin, the land track of the wind has made a huge difference - normally the mornings are nice and cool but today has gone right into the oven.

    Very warm in the sun already this morning again in North Donegal, but a nice breeze should make it very pleasant.
    Pity I'm working and won't see too much of it, as meant to break for tomorrow.

    Dewpoint at Knock has shot up this morning, currently at 17.1 °C. It's way higher than other station in the area, all of which range from 10-13 °C. Air temperature is only 17.4, so almost 100% r.h.

    Hourly dewpoints:

    7 am : 10.1
    8 am : 11.7
    9 am : 14.8
    10 am : 17.1

    36.8c in my garden at the minute, its well sheltered from any breeze, proper temp says 23.4c and rising but unsure how accurate that might be, high cloud line directly above us, but sun is still on the right side of it thankfully

    Edit: sun is about to be covered by the cloud :(

    It’s the same for most of Northern Europe but signs that it will really improve again from early next week. It will be cooler this week after today but I think those looking for a good soaking to help the soil will be disappointed. I don’t think a lot of rain is forecast. The ground in my garden in Dublin is cracking and the grass has gone yellow

    Pretty miserable now along the northwest west coast, in contrast to recent days, e.g. Belmullet overcast at 800 ft, temperature 13.6. Finner and Sligo and Donegal airports similar.

    Further east, cloud bases are around 14,000 ft at e.g. Athlone and Mullingar.

    Something not right at Knock. The dewpoint has risen further to 18.3 °C and seems to be tracking the dry-bulb temperature, which itself is also 18.3. Anyone in the area able to confirm that Knock is shrouded in cloud and it's that humid? The automated reports from there don't include any visibility or cloud data.

    I wouldn't say we are back to the usual but certainly a big change in terms of temperatures and probably sunshine. It will be cooler from tomorrow and unseasonably cool over the weekend, temperatures will begin to recover very slowly from Monday. There will be very little rain in the south and south-west, small amounts elsewhere with showers. The north and north-west will see the most rain or showers over the next week. Some parts of the country could stay completely dry throughout if they avoid the showers.

    However, there is still the threat of it turning much more unsettled around the 10th to 12th of June before we start to see more settled and warm conditions build back. We won't be seeing temperatures or sunshine amounts like the past few days for several weeks. At the same time it doesn't look like we're going to see the typical normal service from the Atlantic either with conveyer belts of low pressures moving in over us one after another for weeks on end.

    It's already cooler here today than compared to yesterday, it's beginning to get cloudy too. Personally i'm not a fan of temperatures creeping into the highs 20's, unless it signals the arrivals of Thunderstorms. I'd be happy with temperatures in the low twenties otherwise

    definitely the warmest morning here in Meath. It is currently 23C which makes this the warmest day of the year so far. Our high up to today was 22C. Our highest temperature last summer/2019 was also 23C so I think today we will beat last year's high temperature record for our area.
