Beautiful day here near Tralee getting up to 16.8C under clear blue skies all day, bit of wispy cloud about this evening and looks like fog forming near the mountains.

Banna Strand 19.00




Cloudier in the W and NW by the looks of it from the slow moving / stalled front.

A chilly 11C in parts of coastal Dublin, that sea breeze really taking the heat out of the sun. Still nice enough in Meath, currently 14C.

Similar in the UK, single digits along many north sea coasts and much higher further west.

Tomorrow looks warmer for Leinster with less of an annoying easterly breeze.

Got up to 20.3C here near Tralee with good clear sunny spells ,high cloud about now but locking in the warmth and still 15.7C

Today was a big let down here in North County Dublin.

Started off promising in morning but then sun disappeared behind the clouds.

I was too warm yesterday so put tshirt on today. Brrrrrrrrr it didn't last long with sea breeze.

Still grand day just disappointing compared to what was promised.

tomorrow should be better for Leinster, especially the east coast where it may be warm enough to put on a t-shirt again. Could get to 19C in parts of inland Dublin tomorrow vs the low teens they had today.



East and South holds onto the last bit of warmth on Saturday, but temperatures slightly down on Friday



Sunday will be a shock to the system with single digits across much of the country.

Much warmer out there this morning even without the sun. Beautiful when sun comes out.

the difference the onshore easterly winds make is enormous, especially at this time of the year during 'warm uppers'. It can make the difference between sunshine with 9C and sunshine with 18C. Even during May the easterly breeze's can still knock alot off. May 2018 was a classic example when parts of the west had high twenties while the east coast were still mid to high teens.

One of the weather presenters was saying the other day that we badly needed rain, i must say i was not expecting to hear that after all the rain we've had in recent times!

I was amazed by that too, the land has just about recovered from the 7 month deluge. Now I would like 6 months of very dry conditions and let it rain from October.

Casement reached 20.1C earlier today, a fantastic temperature for the time of year.

Reached 19C in Dunshaughlin today despite the very hazy conditions.

Do because we had glorious weather last Easter I remember we spent it in Skerries + it was like been abroad. They the weather was crap all summer so take it while you can!

no sun at all here today but it's still fairly mild. I remember Easter last year well, it was the only few days of warmth we got for the entire Spring and early summer period. I think it got to 22C here during Easter Sunday last year and then a very cold pattern followed a few days later which lasted all the way to the final few days of June. Thankfully the cold conditions from tomorrow look very short lived, should turn milder mid way through next week.
