forecast looking quite good for Dublin and the East tomorrow, 22C hopefully it will stay dry till the late evening.

19c at Dublin Airport at 2100 !! -extraordinary.
I wouldn't be surprised if yesterday's 25.6c is equaled or even bettered tomorrow at Casement or the Airport.

Su Campu

Max today was 22.4C at Dublin Airport

Min

The sun set behind the clouds, appeared for a short period today, so after it set the sky decided to become cloud free...Hope it lasts for most of tomorrow before therain arrives.

A lovely night for getting out the telescope.

DE, the max temp at Malin Head in April was 20.8C on 22nd

The max on 28th April was 15.7C!

The ogimet figure is erroneous

Thanks for that MM. This is not the first time I have been stung by downloading and taking Ogimet's data set at face value!!

Should have double checked the value on met.ie before posting :rolleyes: but my main point still stands regardless in that the last 2 summers were pitiful, not only in terms of decent temperatures but also regards thunderstorm frequency and intensity which, for the sake of forum decency and decorum, I'd better stay quiet about! :mad:

To be fair to Ogimet, there was an error in the original 18Z synop report that was communicated by Met Éireann on the global telecommunication system. They obviously spotted that in their quality checks and have ammended it on their site, but it remains on ogimet's database, who get their data fom NOAA.

Absolutely. My comment was not so much a criticism of Ogimet as such but more directed towards myself for not double checking the actual max value on met.ie. Even a quick look at the data in the temperature group of the Malin Head synop reports during the afternoon of the 28th April it would be have been hard to see how a max of 23.1c could have occurred:

10139 (1600 UTC)

For anyone who is downloading and using large data sets from Ogimet, my advice (which I should have heeded myself!) is always double check unusually high or low readings of any element against official sources in case such readings are erroneous as in the case above.

For the record, I've discovered why my own station station has some of it's spikes ~ CB radio!!!!

It's not the only cause but I'd not have expected a 27MHz signal to interfere with a 400 or 800MHz signal ~ but it does.

After a recent particularly active evening of DX contacts my WS Temperature was over 250°C and as low as -47° and I also had 275kmh winds =

I'm sure now too that Taxi, Gardai and other emergency radio communications also interfere with it occasionally.

This thread aint dead and buried yet!!
20c and if it stays sunny a 21 or 22c (over 70 old style:)) is possible later.
It actually feels much warmer in the balmy breeze.

Never even thought of that, my station suffers mad spikes from time to time also.... my Yaesu is sitting right beside the weather station receiver and I use it on 2m and 70cm. Feck's sake, how did I not cop that...

Iancar29

Its weird how warm the strong breeze is though!... have all the windows open and there IS a draft but its not cooling the house down at all!

Thought i heard rain but it was just the breeze blowing ALL the leaves down the road, sounded cool! ha

Mothman

21.6C today, first time to record 20C in October. 12 years of records.

Also 4th highest temp of year.
with 2 days in August and 25th June having higher temps.

The Sun isn't exactly famous as a weather forecasting agency, watch what sources you quote from.

Min

Two days in a row with the exact same high temperature of 19.0C.

Which made them warmer than the days when we were suppose to get proper heat, only for mist, cloud and fog to spoil it.
18.2C was the highest temperature here when Dublin was breaking records.

well I'll always take snow over any other kind of weather:P and obviously because its so early in october there is no chance of snow yet and the next best thing to snow is sunny hot weather:) so seeing as there wont be snow til round nov/dec I may as well wish for nice not weather better than dull,chilly and wet any day

ye i know that there so sensatinalist and tabloid like!!and i knnow it may not be true but there are a few newspapers saying temperatures will drop a lot next week with frosts and snow in highlands.

Elmer Blooker

It looks like temperatures will be climbing above normal again after the chilly snap

Elmer Blooker

NIALL D

what exactly would that bring ??

Elmer Blooker

Temperatures well above normal, good sunny spells in the Dublin area but more cloudy elsewhere - a bit like last week's mini heatwave but temperatures obviously not as high. 8 days away though, borderline FI.

cherryghost

I wouldn't say well above normal. High teens maybe but even that's pushing it. At least it'll be dry though, I suppose.

Cloud and drizzle in the south and west coastal areas.
Mild with some sun in eastern counties (Dublin and Wicklow most likely due to Wicklow mountain effect)

Wouldn't be getting too excited about this 8 days out. At that time frame the GFS model and others have shown similar charts all through the summer and into September and they rarely have materialized. Maybe they will finally get it right this time

Hi Mick i see your location has changed. Holiday or gone for good?
Isn't that your station active on Irish weather network?

After the awful summer we had i'm enjoying the glorious 30 plus temps every day. Being a weather fan though it is kinda boring having the same type of weather all the time. In saying that they do get extremes here like Typhoons and heavy rain. A few days ago in the North East of the island they had 1500mm of rain in 48 hours. Luckily in the south where i am we got hardly nothing

What did I tell yiz?
Another 20c on my thermometer today and I think temperatures will be creeping up towards 20 as soon as Saturday (where I am anyway!) as a Tm airmass heads our way.
It's interesting to note that on 6 out of the last 9 nine days the temp has hit 20c or above at Dublin Airport - during August the temp only got above 20 on 3 days and during July on 8 days.

Su Campu

Dublin peaked at 19.5 °C today, Casement 19.2 °C.

And screen max of 19.6C here in Ashford

...... and the Phoenix Park peaked at 20.8c.
I know the Airport is the "official" Dublin temperature but it doesn't really represent the actual temperature in the city. I should know as I'm approx 5km from the airport.

Actually risen a little during past hour

Ditto that, I noticed that the temps was rising since early evening, just stepped outside and its like mid summer.

up for anything

This thread gets my vote for the best thread title on Boards. It makes me giggle every time I read it.

mike65

Wasn't a big freeze on the way?

Elmer Blooker

A big freeze on the way? where? when?
M.E. say temperatures this week will be 3.5c above average

Min

A warm week for most, about 10mm of rain for the south east and upto 100mm rainfall for the north west according to the Met Eireann farming forecast.
