It is all falling apart. I see the highest temps for Friday have been revised downwards to 26. Mark my words, we will be lucky to see 24.

24 is still double what we had for the last couple of weeks.

Reckless Abandonment · 24-06-2019 3:16pm

So far showers not moving much when they develop. Hard to know how the rest of the day will go. But loving the warmth at least.

Gonzo · 24-06-2019 3:17pm

still a dissapointing day in Meath, not a second of sunshine, completely cloudy and damp from yesterdays downpours, but at least it's feeling milder at 18C.

There isn't a world of difference between 26C and 28C. Right now it's 18C where I am and it feels warm compared to what we've had up to now. Even if 24C is reached over the next few days, that will feel very tropical compared to what we've been used to and would be delighted to get that temperature for a few days. 26C should be reached in a few western areas on Thursday and Friday, especially when there will be dry and settled conditions as well.

Temperatures hit near 23c in Kilkenny City after lunch today. If you are suggesting that the rest of this week won't see much more than 1c warmer than today then you're going to be very, very wrong.

The 850hPa temperature over Kilkenny right now is 9c. By Thursday morning this increases to 16c and then to 17c for Friday morning. This puts the potential for 2m temperatures up to between 28c and 31c.

I guess we've just had bad luck here, I can see lots of other areas that have some nice sun and temperatures several degrees warmer! Hopefully the cloud will break a bit here soon.

Cantona's Collars · 24-06-2019 3:41pm

Glorious sunshine here in Wexford and it's warm and sultry. Even so,I just saw my neighbour out in a fleece.

Your turn will come

It has over here after a dark dark morning... west mayo offshore island .. and yes, blissfully warm sun..

Captain Chaos · 24-06-2019 4:12pm

Almost night time here in Tallaght. Very, very dark. Like a winters afternoon in mid December except for the heat.

Artane2002 · 24-06-2019 5:39pm

Cloudy all day in Dublin 5 with an intense shower in the morning. The sun has made a few feeble attempts to break through but failed.

The Specialist · 24-06-2019 5:57pm

Summer has somewhat arrived in Limerick this evening, beautiful out there. **** the grass and **** the farmers, give us a couple of weeks of this with dry blue sky days and no rain!!

Lovely in Dublin 13 with hazy sunshine especially this evening.

The variation in weather in Dublin today is quite interesting. There was a thunderstorm causing disruption at the airport earlier, overcast all day in Dublin 5 up until now (there's a bit of sun now) and Dublin 13 had a bit of sun throughout the day.

Beechwoodspark · 24-06-2019 6:35pm

Hazy grey skies all day in Dublin.

Humid clammy unpleasant.

This is irish summer.

Thelonious Monk · 24-06-2019 10:26pm

Really beautiful evening in Northside Dublin. Managed to get a few holes of golf in at 8pm and then a walk on the pier in Howth, sea was like glass. So lush everywhere after all the rain. No wind at all which just makes it all so magical. I complain so much about the weather here but if you make the most of evenings like this it's almost worth it.

Deer Park. Was just on the Par 3. Flags were up and clubhouse closed so had it to myself!

Graces7 · 25-06-2019 5:38am

Kutebride · 25-06-2019 7:20am

Beautiful morning in Meath until I arrived into Dunshaughlin and its all overcast..........visibility low.

klaaaz · 25-06-2019 8:24am

I'm finding it very 'jungle-y' at times, so much so that I've resorted to wearing shorts and wee running socks, as a man with hairy knees this is less than ideal. I'm hoping for some relief in the form of dry, hot weather that doesn't make me feel like a melting ice sculpture.

Graces7 · 25-06-2019 1:32pm

sun trying to break through here; sky more textured and less leaden. Pollen counts are very very high ;; gentle breeze

Graces7 · 25-06-2019 3:09pm

Wind rising and set to rise more;

Status Yellow - Small Craft Warning
Northeast winds will reach force 6 at times this evening/ tonight and tomorrow morning on coasts from Slyne Head to Erris Head to Rossan Point`.

it will clear the air wondrously so hunkering down to try to clear hay fever head,, back if there are any .... dramas!. Somehow I doubt that and we are having a real escape from extremes

Night all ! west mayo offshore

acequion · 25-06-2019 4:36pm

Very sultry and balmy here in Tralee, an ideal day to work in the garden which is what I'm doing. Many, no doubt, will find the lack of sunshine frustrating but it is nice and warm, shorts and t shirt warm in my garden anyway.

kod87 · 25-06-2019 5:44pm

Mercifully the sun didn't come out today here in Tipp, it's far too warm to be comfortable although there is a nice cool breeze at times. Basically this weather (maybe a couple degrees cooler) is perfect for me.

frosty123 · 25-06-2019 6:13pm

After sunday I was gonna give up on this summer...never saw it coming tbh

acequion · 25-06-2019 7:48pm

We had torrential rain in Tralee about an hour ago. Dry again now but wow is it humid!

igCorcaigh · 26-06-2019 12:43am

It's co clammy and warm.
16C and humid.

It's pure sex weather, without the sex.

Would explain why folks on the continent are more passionate, the auld sexy weather.

Kutebride · 26-06-2019 6:53am

Overcast and trés cool. Hot cuppa to warm up.

aisling86 · 26-06-2019 7:54am

Can't believe I woke up to sunshine this morning thought those clouds the last few days would never lift

SleetAndSnow · 26-06-2019 8:16am

Sunny and about 17 degrees in cork city! Feels warm and humid again. If it stays sunny then today could be warmer then yesterday

Beechwoodspark · 26-06-2019 8:21am

Grey and depressing in blessington.

Humid yes. Not worth it without sunshine.

OldRio · 26-06-2019 8:24am

Cloudy nearly all day yesterday. Cloud this morning. Disappointing.

JCX BXC · 26-06-2019 8:25am

Lovely sunny morning in West Clare, was a small bit of cloud but it's burned off quickly.

Thelonious Monk · 26-06-2019 8:42am

Found it kind of chilly cycling to work this morning as I only wore a t shirt. Worst heat wave ever.

Donegal Storm · 26-06-2019 8:44am

Cool, dark and grey in Letterkenny, almost looks like it's going to rain

Graces7 · 26-06-2019 8:52am

almost still.. grey and ,... grey

Elmer Blooker · 26-06-2019 8:57am

Cloudy and windy, 14.6c and feeling cold. How I hate E/NE'lies in summer!

Worst heat wave ever.

.... haven't seen the sun out for more than a few minutes since I can't remember when!

Xenji · 26-06-2019 9:15am

A nice bright start to the day in Castlebar, 14.3C.
