    For penquins maybe.
    Today had a max of 23c so FAR too hot is a bit of an exaggeration.

    Lovely clear night out now but only 9c out now.
    The Perseid meteor shower is due to peak on Tuesday night but there'll probably be plenty of cloud about by then so its worth heading out now for a look before the moon rises.
    Saw a couple of nice bright ones earlier.

    Saw a few meteorites here already tonight (in Sardinia). Pretty much clear skies every night here.

    Between 14 and 15 degrees here in Salthill, Galway, absolutely sweltering for me in the house, fantastic weather all around for the weekend so far. Made a few quid in the busking on the promenade. :)

    Warmest temps, in terms of mean max, so far this month (up to yester) are those of Phoenix Park (21.5c) and Oak Park (21.1c). West coast doing very poorly once again however with Belmullet just on 17.3c and Mace Hd even lower at 17.1c. Nationwide average is 19.1c, which is close to average for the first third of August.

    Data fwom Met Eireann.

    Same in Sligo. Was sunny but now cloudy. It's never sunny after a sunny Saturday is it?

    Still 17c currently is warmer than over 20 days in July managed.

    Fairly cloudy where I am by the coast in Dublin and cool enough too.

    My iPhone weather app was showing cloudy conditions for Sunday since Saturday morning but Met E were still going for a beautifully sunny day until this morning when they looked out the window I guess.

    Forecasting sea, mist and cloud on “sunny” days is one of Met E’s biggest weaknesses imo.

    I’d imagine it’s difficult given our island location but the BBC and others seem to get it right way more often.

    Disappointing day in NCD so far given the forecast.


    Cloudy all morning + cool bbreeze.no sign of the sun. Currently 16 degrees.


    Today was meant to be best day. Not complaining as yesterday was fab but glad we got out to enjoy it then + didnt wait for today. As we all know in Ireland you take the good days when you can!

    Think it speaks volumes that yesterday was Dublin's sunniest August day in 10 years in terms of total sunshine hours..

    It was nice while it lasted. Wesht is best today.

    Yes. Very disappointing day in Dublin. I had a feeling it would be cloudy in the morning but I thought the sun would break through. As a result a fair bit cooler than yesterday.

    Been grey and overcast all day in Firhouse Dublin 24.
    Not been cold per se, but a bit miserable in comparison to yesterday's amazing sunshine.
    It felt like early June!

    Well that was a stubborn lump of cloud, barely moved on the satellite all day so it stayed grey and overcast all day.
    At least it was dry and mild so not all bad.
    Then at 9pm the cloud broke up within minutes.

    Such a rarity these days to have 3 beautiful days for the weekend, the west was the place to be, if only we could be guaranteed a few more weekends like that.

    next two days look fairly warm, low to mid twenties in many areas, hopefully we will get more luck with sunshine tomorrow and Tuesday.

    fmiuk-41-51-0.png?09-20

    Still warm across southern half of the country on Wednesday then normal service from Thursday with cooler air across the country.

    There may be a few showers over the next few days but the thunderstorm activity mostly confined to mainland UK, it could get fairly explosive there over the next few days.

    Lovely day again up here, we were down exploring around Donegal Bay all day and had plenty of warm sunshine and for once no wind, not even a sea breeze. Nice clear view looking across the bay towards Benbulben earlier with the sea nearly like glass
