I think so too! I have a memory of temps around 24C on 15 August that year at the Tullow Agri Show. I may need to look through the records to confirm
P.s. What was also remarkable about that August was late that month tree leaf colour started to change colour and was a month, or more, ahead of normal.0 -

August continued the 2010 very sunny streak with it being the sunniest August for many since 1995 but it was on the relatively cool side especially towards the end with grass frost. Maximum temperatures weren't high at all and typically around the high teens but the frequent spells of sunshine after a dull first week made it feel great to me.
I remember on the 14th that Dublin had a full day of blue skies whilst much of the country was under thick cloud but all places had that beautiful day on the 15th which you speak of. Wasn't quite 24c if I remember correctly but more around 21 or 22c (EDIT: I must be thinking of synoptic station obs).
It was a very dry month too though not as dry as August 2003.
August 2016 was a nice August with plentiful warmth here but it lacked the sunshine generally - compared to 2010 which lacked the warmth but had plentiful sunshine.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

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.
That chart was last Saturday's run, valid for yesterday. Actual readings from soundings turned out to be 3-5 degrees cooler.0 -

There's a slight darkening coming off that clear cold front along the west, down at the south of ireland and just reaching wexford and up over half the country.
Can you have a mini cold front branching off a cold front with warm air in between?
Yep, I see that slight darkening now (I'm as blind as a bat) but it still doesn't make sense when surface temps and dps at the time are taken into consideration, which effectively stayed the same after passage of the front, which visually, was totally undetectable!
For what it is worth, the UK Met analysis for midnight had the front not quite as far east as they had forecast in the previous map for the same time in that chart I posted last night:
but little overall difference.New Moon

Ah, that makes sense, though the surface obs still have me flummoxed, and observationally, there didn't seem to be any change in the air mass at all post front. No change in cloud structure either (waving low based altostratus all day & evening) + the heat & humidity last night had me stressin', which is one of the reasons of my pedantic ire on this most pressing of issues.

It was a subtle front alright but there is a slight veering of winds and reduction in dewpoints notable from the detailed hourly reports from e.g. Mullingar and later Casement, to name just two stations. The real difference is visible from the theta-e and Q-vector-divergence charts, which are much more useful when pinpointing fronts.

Serious convection gone up now northeast of here, wide picture doesnt half do it justice.
Look at how quickly it built up.
