RTE are saying 26c tomorrow in Dublin. I hope it's not too cloudy though.

Meteorite58 · 14-09-2020 10:35am

About 16C here in Tralee, cloudy start but a few breaks now. Some light rain overnight and what looks like Sahara dust on the car this morning.

pad199207 · 14-09-2020 10:41am

A beautiful morning now in Kildare and calm which is a contrast to yesterday. Already 21°c

Oneiric 3 · 14-09-2020 11:35am

I am beginning to suspect that we may see the warmest mid-September period on record. Not unusual to get into the high teens, low twenties by day at this time of year with high night time, mid-teens minima, but for such an extended period, as is forecast, seems a little out of character for the time of year.

Gaoth Laidir · 14-09-2020 12:01pm

We could see some elevated convection tonight from this upper frontal system that's currently in the process of forming down off Iberia. If nothing else it may give some nice castellanus.

Thelonious Monk · 14-09-2020 12:33pm

It's supposed to be cloudy in dublin but im sunbathing out back in blazing sun and havent felt heat from the sun like this in ages! Bliss!

obi604 · 14-09-2020 12:35pm

east galway is sh1te today/ 17 degrees, dull, few spits of rain even

DOCARCH · 14-09-2020 12:43pm

Fantastic day in Dublin. 22.0c now in Dublin 16.

pad199207 · 14-09-2020 12:43pm

Very warm in Kildare now 24°c

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 12:49pm

an absolute peach of a day here in Meath, also this is the first time we've had two sunny days in a row since May 31st/June 1st.

This is officially the best spell of weather we've had in Meath since Spring.

Slashermcguirk · 14-09-2020 12:49pm

Stunning weather in D5. September has been a huge improvement. May and September nearly always deliver great weather. Sitting in the garden with the sun beating down again, hardly a cloud in the sky.

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 12:52pm

tomorrow looks fantastic as well, 24 or 25C is possible in Dublin, Meath and Kildare tomorrow.

After having our disaster of a summer we really deserve this spell of mid September warmth.

SouthWesterly · 14-09-2020 1:20pm

After a lovely day yesterday in North kerry. Today is raining

DOCARCH · 14-09-2020 1:23pm

23c at 1pm at Phoenix Park.

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 1:29pm

Today is the 5th day this September to reach 21C or more, most other days have reached 17 or 18C, this really is showing up how poor we had it in July and August. Low twenties likely again tomorrow and then maybe 20C on Wednesday before the cooler easterlies take over. Going to make the very most of the next two days or so and even after this it should remain mostly dry till about the 23rd of September. September really delivering here.

JCX BXC · 14-09-2020 1:54pm

Cool and cloudy with showers in West Clare. Slight easterly breeze.

sryanbruen · 14-09-2020 1:55pm

Vintage, stunner, cracker, peach... all very appropriate for a day like today in Dublin. One of the nicest days all year round.

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 2:06pm

cloud beginning to roll in here now. Still very pleasantly warm at 21C.

Slashermcguirk · 14-09-2020 2:26pm

24 degrees at Phoenix park at 2pm

Thelonious Monk · 14-09-2020 3:01pm

Reverted to cloudy now in D5, managed to get a couple of hours in the nice sun thought so can't complain

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 3:51pm

got close to 24C here an hour ago, fully cloudy now, but the sun should be back tomorrow.

Billcarson · 14-09-2020 4:13pm

I'm all for sunny dry weather especially after the last few months. Personally though I wish this warmth would go and do one,summer had its chance.

Gonzo · 14-09-2020 4:17pm

I think it's fairly acceptable to get decent summer weather in September, for me Autumn doesn't really fully begin till 1st week of October, by then expecting temperatures in the high teens is asking for alot and cloudy cool days become far more acceptable.

people's intolerance of 18c - 23c temperatures in this country will never cease to amaze me. Now that the sun is gone it doesn't feel that warm in Dublin, just nice.

Rebelbrowser · 14-09-2020 5:38pm

Today never got going in Cork. Perfectly pleasant but high cloud almost constant. Sun was out for a few mins and you could feel the heat. Pity. East had a bad time of it in August so well entitled to this spell. Weather has been very democratic actually, we've all had about two good spells, just not simultaneously!

Snowc · 14-09-2020 5:51pm

Does it ever stop raining in achill island

daniel_t1409 · 14-09-2020 6:39pm

Mostly cloudy today with the sun coming out every now and then. South Wexford.

Clonmel1000 · 14-09-2020 6:44pm

Cloudy here all day so fuxkin frustrating. Was in tramore yesterday mainly cloudy and windy and cool enough. People had jackets on.

Nightmare, I actually managed to get a good bit of sun, topped up the old tan I have lingering from being in Spain! Hopefully we get a few more hours tomorrow too.

And the afternoon got worse. Just dark dull and constant rain.

New Era · 14-09-2020 7:05pm

Should the country get concerned about how far north in the Atlantic, Hurricane Paulette is?? Could it hit Ireland early next week?? If so will it gradually weaken in time before it hits here so that it won't be particularly damaging to us?? We have enough trouble already without hurricanes threatening the country!

It's forecast to weaken as it moves northeastwards before taking a turn back southeastwards, just to the west of the Azores. It won't have any direct effect on us.

Oscar Bravo · 14-09-2020 9:04pm

Max today :

Phoenix park 24.7 degrees
Dunsany 23.3
Dublin Airport 22.4
Valentia 22.1
Mullingar 21.5

Danno · 14-09-2020 9:11pm

Spits of rain this afternoon and evening here in Laois - but not enough to tip the rain-bucket. Amazing cloud formations though in the mid-layers. Sunshine this morning but the layer of mid-level cloud rolled in and dominated from after lunch time. AWS reports a max of 19.3c compared to yesterdays 21.3c (Manual) in mostly unbroken sunshine.

Rikand · 14-09-2020 9:22pm

When they say Indian summer, I presume we're supposed to focus on the india part of it and not the summer part because it's like monsoon season out there

pad199207 · 14-09-2020 9:23pm

Beautiful day but then clouded over with some great cloud scapes. High of 24.8°c

Donegal Storm · 14-09-2020 11:46pm

Dark and grey all day in Donegal with rain on and off, felt very mild in the evening so hopefully a sign for the rest of the week.

Would echo Danno's comments on clouds, lots of interesting and ominous looking undulating wave patterns

Goldfinch8 · 15-09-2020 12:52am

Even though it was a mainly grey day in this part of the West, I too found those undulating cloud patterns quite interesting.
Below is a pic of some of those clouds as seen from Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon earlier this afternoon.
Thankfully a bit of late evening sunshine eventually found a chink through them to give some nice autumnal hues on the banks of the River Moy in Mayo this evening.

SleetAndSnow · 15-09-2020 10:12am

Up in Dublin atm, currently patches of blue sky but cloudy. Warm around 16 degrees I would say but can't tell you exactly. Was a bit if rain during the night

Also agree about the cloud formations, saw a lot of interesting ones all the way from Cork to Dublin on the train yesterday

Thelonious Monk · 15-09-2020 10:23am

Still no sign of the sun in my part of Dublin, I really hope it comes out.

Slashermcguirk · 15-09-2020 10:51am

Sun coming through now in Dublin 5, starting to feel it warm up

daniel_t1409 · 15-09-2020 10:51am

Dull + damp again in wexford this morning. Yesterday was dull most of the day too. The south of the country has been quite unlucky this summer/autumn, this is not the first time the north has gotten the sun while here it's nothing but endless cloud and very little sun and occasional rain. To be honest, I don't care, I've accepted that this summer has been useless and I'm ready for the rest of autumn/winter and what it will bring us, not only in terms of weather but also the current situation with the virus, will there be more restrictions etc etc.

I agree, it's had its chance and I'm ready for the winter ahead. I wish we could just move on and accept that the summer is over and has been terrible

sryanbruen · 15-09-2020 12:06pm

Beautifully sunny in my part of Dublin now again. Uncharted territory right here.

seamusk84 · 15-09-2020 12:09pm

Is Gonzo around, how are we looking for the rest of the week and weekend based on what you are seeing?

Warming up nicely min Kildare now. Fair enough we had a bit of rain overnight to help with one final blast of growth/ripening for harvest.

A bit of heat for a few days would do wonders for everyone's spirits now.

JCX BXC · 15-09-2020 12:31pm

21.3°c in West Clare, but still so CLOUDY!

I feel frustrated.

I think I'm near you but the sun isn't getting through just yet here, so close though...

Slashermcguirk · 15-09-2020 12:39pm

21 degrees at 12pm in Phoenix park, defo warming up now in Dublin
