    ECM has the 20c 850hPa over Laois next Friday. If it materialises, that could put the 33.3c record in danger of being beaten.

    The Ironman competition in youghal tomorrow looks like a complete washout. So much so it could even be called off!! Rain looks persistent and heavy throughout

    What a disaster for them, during the week I heard they may have to shorten the swim due to low water temps.

    Cork added to the rainfall warning now as well as a thundery shower warning for leinster. Why not just say South and East like these county by county warnings are so ridiculous

    tomorrow looks like a cool washout in most places. Today has probably been one of the warmest days of the year so far with temperatures reaching close to 19C and plenty of sunshine.

    I'm still unsure about next week in how warm it will get, could be very dependent on cloud cover and rain as well as onshore breezes. At a wild guess most places should see 18 to 23C next week, possibly hotter in spells of sunshine, especially across the midlands and mid-west where temperatures of 25 or 26C is possible. East coast likely to be cooler, especially if there is rain, cloud or sea fog.

    Could be adding Wexford to a warning as well as S Kilkenny. All along S and SE coastal counties looks like could get very heavy rainfall, most falling from early Sun morning until 01.00 Monday

    What would be normal for us to see in that graph this time of year?

    Unprecedented charts and quiet plausible with the position of the Jet and The Omega block but it wouldn’t take much to shift all this East. Still all to play for but amazing model watching ahead.

    Sometimes temperature at 850 hPa can be used to roughly assess the maximum temperature at sea level by adding 10 to 15oC, and for higher ground one can interpolate. However there are situations when this method does not apply, particularly in winter.

    30c looks very likely, if not higher across the south. Gurteen, Durrow, Shannon, OakPark and Kilkenny could challenge the 33.3c :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,498 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Some of the synoptics that the ECM has shown in the past day aren't too dissimilar to those of the July 1983 heatwave to me, a very notable period of hot weather as I'm sure some will remember fondly with outbreaks of thunderstorms too particularly at Kilkenny on the 17th.

    pity this isn't mid July to mid August and sustained long sunny spells, rather than an unsettled plume in June, then I think breaking the 33C record would be a real possibility, not sure we'll beat it especially with the unsettled conditions that's forecasted, but it would be great if we did beat it, I want to see that beaten at some stage in my lifetime.

    Well after not going near it last June with 32.0c at Shannon (which is a debatable figure).. I don't think we will see it broken. Last June's pattern was almost perfection to beating the record like.

    Lightning struck a milking parlour next door to us near Arklow in one of those storms killing 2 cows and stunning another
    Quite severe
    I remember bringing in the cows on a Sunday morning as that particular storm was approaching, it was booming for a a long time to the SE
    When it eventually came in overhead it lasted a long time and was vicious
    We lost power during milking and let the cows out because bunched up in the collecting yard was just too dangerous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,539 ✭✭✭The Specialist


    What are the chances of retaining the heat with some
    decent sunny weather after this week lads? I have a week off from Thurs week and would love some proper summer weather to sit out in :)

    It's still all to play for so I wouldn't start bragging just yet. Also, many areas won't go much above 22 or 23c IMO, which is hardly sweltering even by Irish standards - more a welcome relief after the cool summer we've had so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    oppressive sweaty weather out here. west mayo offshore island.

    Where are these many areas?

    IMO the highest temperature we will see will be 28 or 29 C (most likely in the Midlands or West). But I do think many places will reach the mid 20’s by next Thursday and Friday. That’s going on the last few ECM runs.

    I vaguely remember seeing the headlines of the newspaper the next day saying 24 cows killed whilst huddling under a tree during the lightning storm?

    Getting genuinely excited now, not so much for 2018 style summer, but hoping for real convective storms!

    Remember it well, I was heavily pregnant and it was very draining

    I remember that, my parents were taking us along with a neighbour to mass, and the neighbour was terrified of the lightning. It was a pretty bad (good) storm.
