Here in Tramore its already 16 degrees and blue as far as the eye can see! yesterday the beach was as packed as a mid summer day and by the afternoon the was plenty of people in the sea. who needs a foreign holiday when you have weather like this!

Water's still very cold around Ireland.

The only time I've ever went into the sea was in the Canaries in June 2000. Can't stand cold water.

Just a glorious day here in Nth County Dublin. Not a cloud to be seen in the sky.

Have just watered all the hanging baskets, flower pots, etc and had to come in to cool down.

Currently 19° with a slight gentle breeze. Ireland is such a lovely place when the sun is shining

Absolutely stunning today.
Cooling sea breeze, but not complaining at all.
Better enjoy our summer folks! This week is it

yeah, no better place when the sun is out

just a heads up, water your garden first thing in morning or in the evening, never in the full heat of the day.

Any experts on clouds know the reason why clouds since yesterday only form away from East and South Coast and why the development is limiting to a two/three hour period before they decipate?

mike65

They form away from the east/south coast due to cooler air (on shore breeze), the clouds are formed when moisture in the air is warmed by the heat rising from the ground, its also why the skies clear in the evening.

The wind picked up quite a bit here, so pleasantly fresh outside.

First official moan of the warm season?

Says the person basking in unbroken sunshine I guess?? A hex on you, I'm sending the cloud your way!


Not that it matters, got our cloudless day today, but for summer lovers it's the same as the snow nutters on here when they don't get any! So don't see the problem in having a moan when some of us don't get the weather that everyone else is raving about!

The west is actually doing a lot better than the east in terms of heat even with the cloud cover so no need to complain, the south and east coast only managed highs of around 16C despite unbroken sunshine while temps are still widely above 20C in the west with the cloud, sea breeze having a big effect. Unbroken sunshine would be nice but a full day above 20C is a godsend after such a long run without any heat

Current temps from IWN

lolie

Bit nippy in the breeze away from the sun but after last year i aint complaining, long may it last.
Must dust of the bbq tomorrow eve and pig out:)

Clare seems to be getting a nice bit of precip starting after 6.00pm and developing since then.

Looked a bit threatening here in North Tipp just after 6.00pm and we had a few drops of rain but the potential seems to have transferred westward. Can see some large dark clouds to my west which would correspond with the Met.ie radar for Clare.

More of the same today:) Its so lovely have a run of good days.

I got a great tan out my back yesterday! Irish sun, cant be bate!!!

Is this current spell guaranteed to be 20 deg C and above around Galway Bay this Saturday and Sunday in peoples opinions? Thanks.

Current models show that Saturday should be fairly sunny and around 21 degrees. Sunday will see scattered clouds in the afternoon, and it will be between 19-21 degrees.

Thargor

Thanks, will get ready to set up my little shop table at one of the beaches so, a few easy €€€.

Up to 25c in the West! Fantastic, Offshore wind keeping temps back couple of degrees on East coast although still glorious out! Long may it continue!

gurramok

I sat out earlier for a bit(D15 area) and that breeze which is like a strong wind at times really cools things down. It seems cooler today than yesterday with no heat from the sun, certainly time to cover up unless you're in a sheltered spot!

DOCARCH

Another great day here. Unbroken sunshine all day albeit a little hazy. Cooler today. 16.9c atm...managed to get to 18.0c earlier.

glorious here in south mayo. Warmest day of the spell. 24.7c. Long may it last. Only complaint is the water butt is empty. But I think the kids have been messing with it!

What do you mean? Dublin isn't getting the best weather? That's not possible!!
An unbelievable sunset here now, red cirrus, it doesn't even look real, it looks more like a Turner painting or something,
