    Shannon airport is still showing 24 degrees at 7pm so I imagine it was warmer there earlier. Definitely warmer in Dublin this evening then earlier this week. I'd say a few places will see 25 degrees tomorrow.

    No, when you first got in the car, it looks like the sensor was in view of the sun either fully or partially. Going by temperatures around the country today, the most you could probably have realistically got would be around the 25c mark and that's being generous!

    my post was quite tongue in cheek. My fault, i should have made it more obvious :)

    I probably was there was two distinctive heavy snow events of December 2010 and January 2011 both of which were bitterly cold. I think the cold temp reading was in January though. I may have written it down somewhere, must check!
    Jan 2011 wasn't cold, winter more or less ended on St Stephens Day that winter. I think you mean January 2010 which had a big freeze in the first half of the month.

    Indeed my mistake

    Another perfect day :) Ireland seems to be doing really well out of this spell - I've been keeping an eye on the satellite the past few days and cloud keeps spilling in from the north sea over the UK. Look at the current temperatures: only 14c in London: http://xcweather.co.uk/ (click on 'temp').

    IMO this is the best spell of consistently perfect days in many years - while there have been warm spells recently, rarely have they been as good for the entire country.

    21 in the Deise City right now so it should get a degree or two higher if the wind does not pick up.

    The last week of May last year was better surely? Several days above 25C in the west and 8 days in a row above 20C where I was. There's been cloud and even some rain around this week so not all perfect!

    Anyway, not complaining, 22C here again today with unbroken sunshine so far

    Today is on par with the May days of last year. The spell in May was only the Wednesday afternoon to the Monday morning here in Kildare, so this spell has been nicer and drier for longer, but the breeze was abit too cool several of the last few days at times. May last year was windless.

    Today though, is as good as anyday here throughout the March, May and September period of sustained sun last year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,015 ✭✭✭John.Icy


    At the time of my last post there was barely a cloud in sight.

    40 minutes later and small clouds have formed and the sun has been gone for a good 30 minutes.

    The lack of wind has pretty much meant that any cloud blocking the sun won't move an inch.

    Probably the most weather frustrated I've been in a long time. Rest of the day could be horrible and dull as it is now. Please move little clouds. :D

    21C here, not bad for a day with a NE sea breeze :)

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    those clouds rolled around athlone for a while and have completely disappeared now. Hopefully yours do the same :)

    Today has the potential of being the warmest/hottest day of many years in the west (unless I can be proved wrong). its already 26.3c here (my garden), up on this time on any of the days this hot spell.

    Cloud arrived in the west, thick and black. Seems to be coming from the south east. That was a lovely week of weather. Hope to see it again soon.

    That cloud isn't associated with the cold front in the Atlantic. Might be thunderstorms.

    Yeah, no front associated rain due until tomorrow. Clouds bubbling up though. T storms possible later.

    Clouds looking quite dark and sinister in patches over Castlebar, has the feel of a thunderstorm about them
