I had to stop cutting the lawn
Too hot

SleetAndSnow · 18-04-2019 4:14pm

Nice blue skies in Cork City. About 14 degrees, breeze is a bit nippy though. Still wouldn't be wearing shorts!

Loving the blue sky though

Harry Palmr · 18-04-2019 4:16pm

milky enough sun this morning but now blue skies ahoy albeit with a breeze (no harm though unless you are on the beach probably)

Ultimate Seduction · 18-04-2019 4:54pm

Orange warning for forest fires in Limerick?

ESMITH29 · 18-04-2019 5:16pm

Strange mist in Dublin 4, like smoke nearly. Any idea what it could be? Its at eye level between buildings

Gaoth Laidir · 18-04-2019 5:38pm

That haze is the worst I've seen in a long time. Visibility down to just a few km in many parts, yet up to 40 km at Shannon Airport.

4 pm.

Dublin Airport 4.5 km
Johnstown Castle 5 km
Finner 6 km
Sligo Airport 8 km
Casement 9 km
....
Valentia 35 km
Shannon Airport 40 km

pauldry · 18-04-2019 5:38pm

Up to 21c for a few mins in Sligo in car but went down to 20c n then 19c

23c easily achievable somewhere in Ireland over weekend

Air pollution? Haze?

Donegal Storm · 18-04-2019 6:09pm

Meh, another crap murky day with low visibility, haven't been able to see the horizon all week. Warmer today at least

Artane2002 · 18-04-2019 7:37pm

That haze is really taking the pleasantness of the weather away for me, it's as good as overcast weather. It's annoying in the same way drizzle is. It's nicer now though.

Tomorrow is looking less hazy according to the CAMS model

Oscar Bravo · 18-04-2019 7:58pm

Highest air temperature of the year so far recorded today at Valentia station at 20.4 C.

Some changes in the forecast heading in to next week? It's possible we could avoid the fronts with their associated rain bands which would prolong the good weather (still cooler than the weekend though).

And 6 hours later all up in smoke. :pac:

pauldry · 18-04-2019 10:45pm

Yes satellite interesting too. If I didnt see forecast Id be thinking it was going to lash

I had 23.5c inland from Valentia today, was above 20c throughout Kerry for alot of the day.

lawred2 · 19-04-2019 7:37am

Heavy haze again this morning in Dublin. Wonder will this burn off.

RobertKK · 19-04-2019 9:04am

15.6C at 9am and sunny. Should easily be in the 20’sC in Kilkenny today.

squarecircles · 19-04-2019 1:09pm

just about squeezed one good day out of the upcoming fine spell here,very hazy today,stiff sea breeze from the northwest has developed in contrast to yesterdays light,warm land breeze from the southeast,plenty of misery drifting about of the coast in the form of banks of sea cloud,becoming progressively cloudier from tomorrow as a cold front and its associated misery drifts in,cloudier still on sunday,with patches of drizzle,supresed anaemic temperatures of around 13 degrees in a chilly westerly airflow.

anyways enjoy the long weekend if you are eleswhere in the country.

f***s all the barbecue meat into the freezer.

lovely Easter weekend coming up over in England too,fine,clear sunny and warm,might reach 25 degrees.

SleetAndSnow · 19-04-2019 1:12pm

nearly 20 degrees if not 20 in cork city today, garden thermometer is reading 19.5 atm but may be inaccurate. clear blue skies, the breeze is nice and warm. A day for sitting out the back, brilliant

RobertKK · 19-04-2019 1:14pm

21.1C the highest it has gotten here at my location in Kilkenny @ 13.02pm.

SleetAndSnow · 19-04-2019 1:19pm

Just saw reports that Air Quality is 'very poor' in Dublin atm. May be the cause of the haze in Dublin?

Shannon and Kerry at 21°c at 1:30pm.

John.Icy · 19-04-2019 1:39pm

S.Kildare. 20 degrees.

But the haze and high cloud is shocking. It's like shade temperatures everywhere out there so not actually feeling all to different than a 15 degrees on a clear sunny day.

Hopefully a nice burn off to clearer skies before early evening as per the last few days in Dublin.

Meteorite58 · 19-04-2019 1:43pm

21.2C an hour ago near Tralee, probably a degree up on that now. Driving around in short sleeves and windows down. Milky blue hazy sky.

pauldry · 19-04-2019 1:57pm

20c in Sligo but cloudy already

pad199207 · 19-04-2019 2:07pm

22.5c in Kildare and V Hazy

SleetAndSnow · 19-04-2019 2:17pm

After becoming very hazy in Cork City. No longer a blue sky, but still sunny.

Mortelaro · 19-04-2019 3:03pm

18.5c in Arklow and not a breath of sea breeze
Unusual
Pole at 30ft only measuring 3.5kmh SE

Gonzo · 19-04-2019 3:24pm

reached 21C here in meath earlier, gone more cloudy now but still nice and warm. Tomorrow could be slightly warmer in the east of the country and looks reasonably good to about Monday.

ZX7R · 19-04-2019 3:25pm

It's just so nice to be out and about with the kids.any day you can be outside all day is a perfect day to me , who really cares if there is a bit of high cloud or haze, enjoy it....

Xenji · 19-04-2019 3:49pm

Slightly cloudy now in Castlebar but still a lovely day, it got up to 20.3C with a gentle northerly breeze.

Kermit.de.frog · 19-04-2019 4:14pm

A good bit more cloud tomorrow especially in the north and west.

Some sun breaking through in the east which will hopefully lift temperatures here.

hirlamuk-4-29-0.png?19-11

Enjoy it though, it's downhill through next week

sryanbruen · 19-04-2019 4:21pm

Yesterday afternoon was very nice in St. Anne's Park, otherwise just been hazy, misty or cloudy. Disappointing to be honest. Last April's warm spell was similar.

Ultimate Seduction · 19-04-2019 4:25pm

Nice and warm but a lack of sunshine

Donegal Storm · 19-04-2019 5:53pm

Another really hazy day in Letterkenny, considering what we forecast it's been really disappointing here, very little sunshine all week. Warm today at least and a nice calm evening

Edit: Actually its now totally clouded over, just in time for getting home from work..

I think today is less hazy but of course it has to be cloudy since there's less haze! I remember last year had very reasonable weather after the end of the warm spell.

pauldry · 19-04-2019 6:31pm

Down to 14c in Sligo now after being 21c at 3

The previous 7 to 10 day promised warm spell looks like lasting 1.5 days in Sligo

Indeed it was after some showery days. The Friday 27th to Monday 30th were on the cool side but very sunny whilst it was wet and cold in southeast England, associated with northeasterly winds then of course we had a great May Day bank holiday weekend.

lawred2 · 19-04-2019 6:49pm

Overcast but warm evening with no chill breeze.

Ok by me. Nice to be wearing shorts and a tee shirt.

Meteorite58 · 19-04-2019 8:55pm

Got up to 22.3C here near Tralee today, great day.

Carol25 · 19-04-2019 9:09pm

Anyone know what the current outlook is on the models for tmrw and Monday, out on Achill island at the moment. It was lovely earlier in the day, some lower cloud blew in as the afternoon progressed. Conflicting forecasts on iPhone weather, google weather and met.ie....

Visiting sister in North Kerry for the weekend.. hope it going to hold up.. no doubt our arrival will herald the clouds and a chill breeze

Well, looking for a dry day tomorrow myself to do some block work and laying concrete and it looks dry but cloudy perhaps in Kerry and again looks like cloudy on Sunday leading to bits of rain, mist and drizzle as the day progresses, hopefully it won't spoil your day . On a plus temperatures fairly decent up around 17 -18C and we might squeeze 19C out of it.

acequion · 19-04-2019 10:11pm

Typical :rolleyes::rolleyes: Sure I'm coming home [to Tralee] on Sunday. Missed it all

On the plus side I'm not a fan of such high temps so early and where I am, southern Poland, it's a lovely spring like 17C and all blue skies so no complaints. It would pyss me off a lot more to miss a good spell in summer.

Yeah, been hearing a lot of positive reports from a friend in Poland with this April being exceptionally sunny and dry there.
