As an agricultural implementer I'm not looking forward to this forecasted spell.
Over 30 is Aussie stuff.
Not too many green fields in Oz.

I think the NAVGEM is programmed by the Daily Express and James Madden.

It's not going to happen jeez and I can tell you that with 100% certainty. We're just posting it for the laugh.

It's not about reading the chart wrong. It's about not noticing what model it is..... NAVGEM which is the extreme side of the models. Last year it was going for 42c in London for instance.

irishfeen · 20-06-2018 10:03pm

Imagine the state of the roads in Ireland at 35degC - it would be like rivers of Tarmac

The chart says it'll be 36 degrees in Westmeath and 19 degrees in Dundalk, it's broken (the NAVGEM might as well be a lotto machine)

See you back here next week when we get the 36c. :rolleyes:

mg1982 · 20-06-2018 10:13pm

Any idea what the humidity is going to be like in this hot spell or will the humidity be lower from the drier air coming off the continent. I guess we wont know until it arrives.

I had to put sand on the road outside our entrance last year in June because the tar was sticking to lorry wheels turning in.

Fine sand or lime dust does the trick.

No need to be so condescending. I never said it will happen just that there is a chance of it happening of course there is however small it is.

temperatures are all over the place in that chart and very unrealistic.

36C over Meath
19C at Drogheda/Dundalk
32C off the Wicklow coastline
20C off the Wexford coastline
Temperatures in the teens over Donegal and Mayo
40C at Birmingham
34C over the Scottish highlands

Sycamore Tree · 20-06-2018 10:19pm

There is no better country in the world in good weather. I did a huge amount of swimming during the last spell even though the sea was quite chilly. It will be perfect now. Cant wait.

Xenji · 20-06-2018 10:25pm

Recorded 26.7C on the 29th of May in Castlebar, so interested to see if that is broken this time around.

That's issued by NAVGEM. Never A Very Good Example Mate.

Jpmarn · 20-06-2018 10:52pm

The so called Best From The West is because the good weather is as a result of an Azores anticyclone is building in from the west. It is normally mucky weather we get from the Atlantic but there are occasions where pressure can build in from that direction.

Danno · 20-06-2018 10:52pm

Dewpoints should be on the rise during the week, starting off relatively benign Monday and Tuesday but probably rising to the mid-high teens later in the week. The 12Z ECM has max temperatures 28 °C through the midlands and east on Thursday with afternoon dewpoints 14-18 °C.

uck51js9zml2yt · 20-06-2018 11:10pm

Some postman somewhere told me it was going to snow next week:)
Looking forward to some sun. Just a Pity I'm working straight through for the next month.

madmaggie · 20-06-2018 11:10pm

I remember in the summer of 1995, the temperatures were over 30C. I had a moped going to work, put on sunscreen, and by the time I got there looked like that sticky fly paper with all the midges stuck to me. Not an attractive look.

im waiting for the magic 30 to appear in these graphics soon:D

Spanish Eyes · 20-06-2018 11:20pm

If these temps are realised, it won't be long before the "oh it's so hot I wish it would cool down" brigade are out in their droves.

Well in fairness, I will include myself in that. Hate sticky, humid heat. There is nothing nice about it. Dry Sahara induced heat, yes. Otherwise no thanks.

Bit cooler for Dublin according to Google. Presume onshore breezes

esposito · 20-06-2018 11:26pm

I’m going to make a bold prediction that we will hit 34 degrees Celsius somewhere in the country during this heatwave. A new record will be set

squarecircles · 20-06-2018 11:26pm

yes the heat seems to be particularly so in the west/midwest on this app.

Kermit.de.frog · 20-06-2018 11:32pm

Toasty GFS this evening.

That would see 30c broken comfortably in a few places.

More or less on track. Getting warmer from tomorrow, very warm Sunday onward.

24 degrees at 9am:eek:

It’s going to be too hot for the Spanish students

They won’t be able to cope. They didn’t cope in July 2013

squarecircles · 20-06-2018 11:49pm

anybody notice that stinging quality to irish heat when it gets very warm here.

on another note i just cant believe my eyes when i see the plus 15 isotherm
splurging over ireland with such ease.I feel a bit emotional.

Its not that so much as the lack of air conditioning refuge. I had family home from Florida the last week in May staying in a City Centre hotel, outdoors it was mild for them but they whinged about the lack of aircon in their stuffy rooms all week.

A lot of agreement in the GFS ensembles to the OP with mean 850hPa temperatures at least +12c.

Game on!
