Not sure where all of you are based but today has actually been very pleasant here in south east meath so far; good long spells of sunshine and the breeze means it's not too warm- perfect!

Cork is absolutely miserable today.


Weather wise that is...

Wonderful day here anyway, up to 24.7C now!

It's been dark and murky here for the past few days. I drove about 10 miles up the road into Wicklow and it's shirtless weather. Really is taking the p**s. Feels like I'm just south of the stream .

So much for the 'heat wave' and temps of 28-30 degrees inland:(:pac:

highdef

Well that was only a possibility based on best case scenario. At the moment it's hot sunshine, a very warm wind and temperatures currently at 25c in many parts of Dublin county and city, as well as parts of Wicklow. That's not too far from 28c!

There's a field near my house and it's been flooded a while, nothing new there, but now ducks have moved in. Never saw that in this field before. Just shows how bad thing are with the weather.

Great weather for ducks as they say.

km79

Just drizzling now. 35 mm since yday evening. Higher than any total during any of the flood warnings this year ..... Still 'twas nice of met e to put up a warning at 1035am this morning when 27mm had already fallen .....

Thank god for the wickla mountains
The satellite pic shows a hole in the clouds in the Dublin area in the lee of the the mountains, the exact same thing happened at the end of last September when it hit 26c in Dublin while the rest of the country got little or nothing.
25c now.

Faded Glory

Good old Ireland smoothered in cloud as usual. Break in the clouds in and around Dublin though. Lousy in Cork yesterday and today.

Big Tone

Unfort that's where the polar front is located...over Ireland since the Ice Age!

spirit_77

hasnt stopped raining in longford

beco

Cruising the Shannon at the moment. Hasnt stopped raining since sometime during the night!!

Elmer Blooker

So what was today's max then? I watched the 9.30 forecast earlier to find out but Gerry Murphy was doing it, Evelyn would have mentioned it but interesting Gerry didn't seem to think it was worth mentioning the highest temperature since May which would make today the warmest day of the summer so far.

I know we were 24.9c at lunch time right on the sea in Bray.... Felt a million degrees warmer - still unnaturally warm now but sure we wont complain .....

Su Campu

It got to 25.6 °C at Dun Laoghaire Harbour during this afternoon's Föhn, but most of the 18Z synops came in missing lots of data, including the max temp. Dublin Airport though did report a max of 23.7 °C, Casement 23.1 °C.

DOCARCH

Got to 25.8c here today.

I was at Bray seafront since 12 today. It was a fab day there with the kids. Only left about half 7. Driving back M50 hit the rain at Lucan. Kids were suncreamed plenty but myself did not re-apply as much and now paying the price.

Its like a conga line

So is this our week, more rain?

Is the Jet Stream going to move further north or is this just a tease?

Tomorrows Jet Stream...note anything.



However. Wednesday looks a lot better

pauldry

it reached 17.8c in sligo today and rained for 16 and a half hours with 13mm of rain. This good weather is worse than the bad weather.

allthedoyles

Its wet and drizzling rain in South-West-Wexford all night.

Hopefully we can live up to our name of Sunny-South-East Tuesday . ( if Martin King is to believed )

kingshankly

Dull misty drisley rain again today in the north east
Can we please have the jet stream back

DOCARCH

Not sure if thread title should be ammended to read/add '.....we thought it would.....but it didn't!' Does not really look like the jet stream is going anywhere (except over us)!

aimery

It's storm together with typhoon here, I don't know how long it will last.

mike65

Latest GFS runs look better for first week August but it'll have changed back to yellow/green muck by this afternoon I expect.
