    This warm weather in Dublin combined with it being miserable in Donegal and Mayo is making me so happy

    Pretty sad way to look at life
    I'm delighted with the good weather but fell sorry for the poor auld souls stuck in grey drizzle
    I've been there before and it's misery

    I'm in Dublin and I wish this weather could be nationwide. It's crap to miss out whilst the rest of the country swelters. Maybe you're joking, but if not, how very mean-spirited.

    Max temps unchanged at 16:00. Think that it might just about hit 26 somewhere.

    Fabuloso day though. :cool:

    Currently in Cork city. 24c since 3:00. Lovely evening

    I'm a dub and don't worry we're not all like the above.

    Would be so much better if the whole country was enjoying the sunshine :-)

    Dont feel too bad donegal person,Collectively,as a nation,will all be in the same boat by Thursday,looking on enviously at southern England sweltering in plus 30 degrees,when the piss misery has returned here for the fore-seeable future.

    Days like this in Ireland are rare and magic,I can almost imagine it.
    I hope everyone enjoys it.

    I definitely wouldn't. I'd hate to have 30+ degrees.

    Reached 26.2c yesterday and now 25.9c today, only marginally cooler today here.

    June's so far been kind of a battleground around Europe with very intense Northern Blocking but also quite a strong Azores High to the south. In between, there has been a deep trough over us which has led to a very unsettled June overall so far but this trough looks like being centred off to the north where the block was for the second half with the Azores High closer to Ireland.

    Been stuck in it for the last 3 days, highly opressive and not to mention it still hovering above 20C at night, it really depends where you are though, have survived 40C better than this.

    Yeah, Carlow area seems to be the hotspot today!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,483 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    A much more bearable day today, 21 was the max and 20 now with wall to wall sun, perfect :)

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    It was hotter in Salthill at 5 pm than it was at 3pm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Turning unsettled for a time later this week but nothing dramatic like the jet stream will be very weak and at the same time, the NAO will be positive which will intensify the Azores High. Some models, including the GFS, are showing signs of the Azores High coming up to Ireland as we go into early July right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Still above 26c here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,219 ✭✭✭pad199207

    I remember South East radio used given temperatures at half past the hour from a weather station in the region back in the 1990s.

    One that sticks in my mind was 23.30 and the temp was 25C in Carlow town, 2nd August 1995. They're were a few similar ones during that month and also during the last week of June 1995. They're the highest evening temps i remember. July 2013 probably had similar.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 12,066 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    A bit more cloud forecast for tomorrow but temperatures looking very good for most apart from North Connacht and parts of Ulster according to Met Eireann and predicting 16 -19C there.

    past 2 days have been amazing, the past 2 days are similar to what most of the summer months is like for London and the south-east, really envy them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭dexter647


    Fantastic weather that really puts you in a good mood:)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,959 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    tomorrow is gonna be a roaster for most of us, the west getting higher temps over the next 2 days, Tuesday looks much cooler for the east but still feeling decent, than Wednesday possibly back in the furnace for 1 day, then normal service resumes from the west on Thursday onwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,142 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Enjoy the sun. Cloudy until 5pm here in Leitrim. Disappointing.

    During the day, but you would not envy them at night, used to need two fans going to get to sleep at times.

    I've experience London summer nights before and it is oppressive, but it's worth it for all the high temps and dry, sunny days they get.

    I lived in the south of England, about 100kms south west of London in the summer of 2010. It wasn't really anything too special though it is noticeably two or three degrees warmer on average than Ireland. Much more humid as well, I got athlete's foot that summer for the first time ever. :( I'd come home to Ireland and really enjoy the freshness and people would be complaining about the humidity. I'd be like 'WTF?'.

    Now the South East, as you say, is different alright or rather, London seems to be its own freakish microclimate. London can be really sweltering whilst even places in the South East can be a good few degrees lower in temperature than it. It's mad. Like, I'd consider London a hot summer destination for the most part. The few lidos London has do very well in the summer. Certainly the year I lived there, my summer visits to London were always pleasantly warm to sweltering and I visited it a lot that summer.

    Very warm weather with increased cloudiness. Not my favourite, I gotta say. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    24.2c reached just after 11am. Hovering below that now as a light east breeze has developed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,752 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    On course for today to be the warmest day so far.

    Very warm weather with increased cloudiness. Not my favourite, I gotta say. :(

    When you take a flight from Ireland to London, you can see the colour of ground in the south east of England being more scorched/dry compared to the midlands of England. The landscape north of the London area appears more green and fertile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,183 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    All that cirrus now blocking out the sun wasn't expected. I presume its caused by the heat from Iberia moving north over the cold sea as this image shows?
    I was expecting the cloud to spread from the NORTH instead.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,015 ✭✭✭John.Icy


    Cloud cover increasing by the hour here in D9, can just about still call it hazy as shadows are still lightly visible.

    It's a pity because it's the warmest it felt over the last few days, love very humid days. Hopefully we get some breakages before the days out.

    @Elmer the cloud forecast model posted yesterday evening on here was absolutely bang on regards the cloud from the south. Very impressed.

    currently 24C with a real feel of 29C, feeling very hot today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Now 26.8c and the power is out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,322 ✭✭✭✭leahyl


    Sat out for about 15 minutes or so at lunch - roasting! Had to come in cos couldn't handle it! It says it's 23 degrees in Cork on met.ie, but feels a lot warmer.

    I see it now, I concentrated more on Meteorite's second temperature chart more than the first chart yesterday evening. Impressive alright.

    Yup, just sat out for a late lunch for 30 mins but gave up after 20 mins as too hot! Cork Airport is 24c on latest report with 70% humidity but its at a height so probably 25c where I am. Mind you it feels nearer 30c - certainly the hottest I have felt since 2013.

    On latest reports on met.ie, Oak Park (Carlow) at 25c is hottest place in the country right now with Shannon, Moore Park (Fermoy), Gurteen (Tipp), Phoenix Park and Cork Airport all 24c.
