Very difficult working conditions today as my office is in the back garden and I am looking out on the patio (table and chairs) and there is an open bottle of wine in the fridge!!!!!

Weather BOFH

Just hit 24.4C here now. Lots of clouds bubbling up to the west, taking a time lapse video at the moment and will upload later.

Tipping down

Hardly a cloud in the sky here all day. Looked very doggy on the Irish sea this morning at 6AM, a lot of cloud out there with the wind coming from the east i thought it was going to be an overcast day. It must have burned off because it never made it over land. 21c

Supercell

Warmest day here since i moved to Annamoe.
Max of 23.0°C, which is hell to sleep through (am working nights this week).

Lol as is often the case,the warmest temp of the day here is now at 21.3c.
Milky skyline to the south but the sunshine continues.
The Temp in the Cooling maratime breeze stayed between 19 and 20c all day.

Two records so far this year established today.

Firstly, 23.7c max temperature at 13:54hrs.
Secondly, 18.9c max Dew Point at 17:31hrs.

0mm rain, despite radar showing a clump of yellow over here? Must have evapourated before groundfall.

Deep Easterly

21.9c here currently, with a rh of 79%. Feels splendidly monsoonal. Just 0.5mm from a recent shower. That warm breeze is life giving.

LEIN

Still not a cloud to be seen here and still very warm. six one forecast predicting very heavy thundery rain tonight especially over east of country. Hard to believe that looking out the window at the moment!

rc28

Perfect day here- still lovely and warm at 21.8c

nacho libre

We had a thundery downpour a while ago but alas no thunder and lightning. It's fine right now with no ominous looking clouds in sight.

Deep Easterly

Knee high mist rising over the plains for miles around. The whole world looks like something from a fairytale.

Mobhi1

Lovely summer evening - 18 and DP of 16. Clear sky - still no sign of the impending cloud and rain/thunder approaching from Wales.

The Black Oil

Seem to be a few rumbles of thunder about here.

Mobhi1

Rain arrived a short while ago - nice damp smell now. Now 17.2C.

nacho libre

It's awful muggy here now.

15.9c

Milktrolley

11:00pm in Carlow was very mild and dry indeed, surely well above 15C. Perfect summer's evening to be out and about!

11:30pm was a different story altogether. Heavy rain accompanied by thunder and lightning (the difference between the sound and the visual was greater than 60 seconds).

Some spectacular lightning though, one taxi driver I spoke with afterwards told me how everything in front of him (the sky, the road, the lot) became completely illuminated as he drove - it blinded him so he had to slow down!

DOCARCH

Main rain band appears to have passed now. A total of 9.3mm (including the rain from the 'thunderstorm' last night. 16.3c atm. Looks like there could be some hefty showers during the day (especially if we get a bit of sun).

Heisenberg.

In the clouds again. If still in the clouds by 2pm this will be the 10th day in the clouds in July, quite astonishing.

Mobhi1

Rain cleared an hour ago; sun has just popped out. Temp now 17.5, DP 16.5; min overnight 15.7.

mike65

Fair amount of rain, cleared and now brightening. Dunno if it'll be for very long though

Mike.

The rain ye had cleared here at about 7am.
Started raining again around 9am though ,heavy at times and hasn't stopped since.
It's a blob that moved in from the Irish sea.
15c

There was thundery rain this morning at a 6 am but alas no thunder or Lightning overnight or this morning. The sky doesn't have that thundery look today and it feels fresher too. Current temperature is 19.8 c

Weather BOFH

18.4C here at the moment, low overnight of 15.5C with 8.8mm of rain in total.

Mobhi1

Faitly cloudy now with the odd glimpse of the sun and the odd spot of rain. Temp hasn't risen much all morning - max 18.8 - now 18.4.

highdef

Nasty thunderstorm in Trim, Co. Meath at the moment. A friend has said a neighbors house has just been hit :eek: Can see the storms building from here in D8 - Wales is now very much alive!!!

squonk

Post that on the Thunderstorms discussion Highdef... give us all some new hope

mike65

A couple of showers this morning, cleared up nicely now - the wind in rather like a hairdryer on the slowest setting

Mike.

Mr Benevolent

Looking East (near the coast, Dublin 13), looks like a few distant CBs out to sea. Blowy but nice otherwise.

Edit: There are a lot more CBs then I thought. Band is approaching from the sound and there's a few mature CBs hovering over the Dublin mountains now.

Supercell

Lashing rain, could see this shower develop as it was approaching.

LEIN

Yeah clouds looking very dark towards your direction alright supercell. Don't think it will hit here, it seems to be confined to the mountains. Any one see the six one weather? John said something about another jet stream:eek:

Some big cbs poping up over that cloud too.

Supercell

Just passed though, rain rate was up to 26mm/hr there for a few mins got a couple of mm from it, looks to be more coming too.

LEIN

Mr Benevolent

Looking south, CBs seem to be merging. Mountains hardly visible.

Any chance of something happening tonight?

nacho libre

Had a cracking thunderstorm 30 minutes ago. It was worth the wait!:D

Supercell

Winds really picking up here, temp a cool 14.1°C, summers over!

gurramok

What a refreshing night. Opened window and that lovely cooler air is coming in.

It's been awful muggy and having sleepless nights for the last week, a change from the 25c indoor temp at night and for one welcome these rain bands

DOCARCH

Heavy rain has just commenced. 17.0c

Stopped as quickly as it started with just 0.9mm - the radar was looking far more ominous than that!

Heavy rain just easing here.

Supercell

Misty with cloud level maybe 20 metres above me here.
7.4mm rain overnight, currently 16.2°C
