In my 30ish few years plus a few (ahem more) I've never ever experienced heat like today and I love the heat. Wow what a day, my station has a screen on it but it's not totally shaded, still and all from now on today shall be known as "THE DAY OF MELT"

Quickelles

New high for this year for my location, today; 27.6C.

Grass has gone from green and growing like the clappers - to brown and stationary - in the past 7 days.

Lovely cool night. 11 straight days now with zero measurable rainfall and the one before then I only measured 0.2mm. Hosepipe bans etc must be imminent.

Quickelles

There has been no significant rain here in the past four weeks bar 7 mm on the 2nd of July.

So everywhere is brown and yellow!

Officially a drought now with 14 days of no rain . Grass in public areas near me feels crisp underfoot, very weird.

Good news - we are heading for a slaughter of the innocents if they don't|

Just hit 24.0c here now despite only breif/watery sunny spells so far this morning.

Must be starting to get more of a significant UHI effect here now (compared to Dublin AP or Casement) given that the ground is bone dry and concrete/tarmac well warmed up at this stage.

Quickelles

Same.

24.6C in a light northerly breeze and cloudy - and the bulk of the city is to the north.

joujoujou

Cloudy and warm.

Peaked at 25.1 here - cloudless but no smoke haze; must be coming from a hill to the east of you

Ditto! High of 25.1c.

Smoke lasted about half an hour. No sign of any fire nearby so may have come all the way from Howth.
