    Do we think that the magic -19c is going to be broken tonight??

    I'm going to guess it'll be broken by 1am tonight

    Might be a stupid question but where is a good site to monitor the station updates?

    Just in from the pub, the streets of Dublin are pretty chilly right now. I was just thinking about the records on the walk home. However I don't want to jinx anything by talking about it, so I will just wish all weather stations around the country the very best of luck tonight.

    For official records it has to be a Met Eireann approved temperature recording.

    Does anyone know where that Blackstairs weather station is on http://www.irelandsweather.com/ . Is it near the summit of Mt. Leinster?
    The temperature seems to be a bit of an anomaly, -1, while Tullow is -16. Even Johnstown Castle is -2.

    -7 in Oak Park at the moment in Carlow,

    -16.2 in Tullow

    and -14 in Baltinglass

    -12 in Newbridge.

    I wonder why those parts of the country are getting the very low cold spots !!!

    Oak Park wouldn't be, that is very flat land there, whereas Tullow would be at the very bottom of the Wicklow mountains (or some mountains anyway !!)

    Apparently its in a hollow.. cold air also dropping down from the mountains also contributes to the cold.

    what they said above plus:
    I think its also partly because they got snow cover and are now sheltered to some degree by the wicklow mountains from the breeze/wind

    Unless it occurs at a met eireann station I doubt it could be regarded as an official low.

    Wait, so what's the record low temperature? Listening to the RTE weather forecasts on the TV today they were all saying -12.4°C was "a record". The weather man seemed to be getting very excited about the possibility of it getting down to -13°C. What's the record?

    In general terms is there a part of the night which is usually the coldest?
