Risk of summer from Tuesday!

    :D


    Oh so many of us had given up any hope of any proper weather. Not anymore though. From Tuesday there is finally a clear signal across all the models that the weather is about to change quite dramatically as high pressure builds over the country. This will bring more sunshine and temperatures should be getting up to the mid twenties later midweek next week particularly in northern half of the country. Still some cloud and outbreaks of rain on Tuesday though but by Wednesday this will tend to dissolve readily. Any lingering showery rain in the southwest should die out aswell. Southern and some eastern coasts cooler with an onshore breeze thereafter. Turning humid aswell. If anything getting even better, even warmer toward the end of next week. Maybe just a hint of a breakdown from the southwest next weekend with some thunderstorms possible but that's long way out. It's pretty much open ended how long the good weather may last, for now. Enjoy! BBL:cool:

    It's too early to be that downbeat yet;) If this is the situation next Saturday I doubt many will be moaning next weekend:) (except in the far southwest - thunderstorms are likely in any gradual breakdown from the west) Get the bbq's ready...

    On a serious note it really is open ended in terms of the forecast. Next weekend is very much still in play. :cool: It tends to be the case that the models are over zealous at this range in breaking this kind of pattern. We will be wanting the block to hold out the atlantic as long as possible. MT Cranium is referring to the traditional breakdown pattern showing on the models. It is very typical of what we see this time of year pior to the beginning of any warm spell. But in the end it's never really that simple. It tends to get pushed back rather than forward would be my experience of these setups. :) I am very hopeful for next weekend. Very happy with the prospects.

    Cork is going to have a very fine week from Wednesday IMO. Nothing I can see to complain about - bit of an onshore breeze. Plenty of warm sunshine like the rest of us. Temperatures low to mid twenties:cool: Now maybe later in the weekend your first for some storms if things start to breakdown but that's not certain at all for now.icon14.gif


    And here is a reminder of what the sun looks like for those who actually might not remember at this stage ;)

    He's not always correct you know and does get things wrong, just like anyone else.

    The best thing to do if you want an accurate long-range forecast i.e. over 5 days, is to look at several different forecasts and see what they're all saying e.g. BBC, MET E, on here, and maybe even SKY or something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,013 ✭✭✭Elmer Blooker


    I may be wrong but I think the highest temp so far this year was in Belmullet during the May heatwave? This week looks like a repeat - west will be best this week I think. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,030 ✭✭✭compsys


    Have no fear people - the risk of summer has well and truly gone according to today's Met E forecast! Phew. It was getting hairy there for a day or two. It looked like we were going to see sun AND warmth :eek: Sure we couldn't be having that this summer...


  • Registered Users Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Big Tone


    Seems we'll be treated to a glimpse of what we could've had in June and July, this coming Thursday and Friday...

    From Met.ie

    "On Thursday early mist, fog and drizzle should clear to give a warm and mainly dry day with spells of hazy sunshine developing. Highest temperatures will range 20 to 24 degrees, warmest in the South with just light winds.

    Friday looks like a warm, mainly dry day as well with spells of sunshine and temperatures in the low to mid 20's."

    It could happen.

    It will probably be misty Wednesday in the West and
    some sun on Thursday and Friday

    Temperature will get over 20c every day this week so thats not bad

    Possibly 24 or 25 at end of week

    These are the all-time record maximum temperatures reached at some southern Spanish stations. Over 40 is a regular occurence there, and the average daily max temps for August are around 35 °C.

    Sevilla Aeropuerto, Córdoba Aeropuerto: 46.6 °C (23 July 1995)
    Morón de la Frontera: 46.6 C (19 July 1967)
    Jáen, Instituto: 45.0 °C (8 July 1939)
    Jerez de la Frontera Aerupuerto: 45.1 (1 August 2003)
    Badajoz Aeropuerto; 44.8 °C (1 August 2003)

    I'm going to watch the above stations closely Friday and Saturday. Could go over 30 degrees at 850 hpa

    Central Sardinia has been getting up to around 45 °C over the past week. The station of Ottana, which is part of the Region's network of rural stations, has been well into the 40s every day. Several others have been topping 40 °C (click on the individual stations). These are all standard stations and are used for monitoring weather and climate for the agricultural and tourism sectors. What a wealth of information on this site. It's a pity we don't have something similar.
