Early July: Heatwave Potential

fryup

will we get an all time irish record this week??

Spent all day hearing and reading about how fabulous it was down in Kerry for todays match...watching the highlights and its completely cloudy and dull.

Never trust a Munster persons weather report.

Ah it must have clouded over for the game I guess! :P

What a forecast there on the nine news. Fantastic!

I gotta get my hands on a thermometer, it's definitely much warmer now than during today. Horribly sticky.

Sligo got 23.2c today at weathergossip location and 23 in markree also, castlebar where I was got 22c at 6pm but cloudy

In Sligo temperature went from 22c to 17c in evening due to sea fog. This may be an issue but 29c is my guess for tip temp this week, probably in south or southwest

I'm on the east coast and apparently it got to 23 today and is now down to 15. Sure doesn't feel like it!

Surprised by certain posters longing for winter and complaining about the heat. I understand your discomfort but it all seriousness come on when do we ever get weather like this. Soak it up

I don't mind it during the day but at night when leaving a window open means all kinds of everything crawling and flying into the house it's another thing. And it's not like there's lovely sunshine to enjoy at night either.

At the moment, it looks like lasting until around next weekend.

And after next weekend how are the charts looking? I know it's way too early to be certain but could it possibly continue into the following week?

Well yeah it's too early to say, but deep FI looks like high pressure won't be going too far away from us, so maybe a period of a little less warmer weather and then a return to warmer days again before too long is possible.

I'm not really lookin that far ahead though. Just going to enough this week first!

it was sunny up until the game :P but trust me, during the game it was absolutely boiling, if it was sunny on top of it I wouldn't have stuck it :O


Anyone know of a website or something that shows all the max temps of the previous day, in different parts of the country? (If that makes any sense :P)

This script loads from a free server and isn't cached so will be slow but gives the max temp during last 24hrs

Haven't posted in a while as my wife and I had a double delivery recently and hands are, literally, rather full. Stunner of a day here today. Tonight roasting too. have one of those gro egg room thermometers in cot and can get room down to 21c if I open the window full but it jumps to 24c everytime I close the window. also had a car reading (yeah, I know) of 31c at 6pm. never seen that before in Ireland.

Sea Fog rolling in from the North here in Castlebar, making it go dark quite fast. Very rare to see that so far inland,well here anyway!

Same here, the horizon was starting to mist up just before sunset. Quite eerie-I've only ever seen it like that at dawn before.

Yeah, I'm watching six tiny moths fluttering around the table lamp as I write and our local friendly stray tom cat tried to climb in the top of the kitchen window to get at my lot's food half an hour ago. Still at least there's no midges-yet....

for once i love living in tramore! having lived away from the beach for some time i now fully appreciate being able to get out of bed, pick up the picnic basket and walk down to the beach for the day, its almost like living on holidays! except someone needs to go shopping and theres no little woman coming in and cleaning the apartment, real life stuff in good weather like this is just a pain! its hitting over 20 here and people are having to go in to the sea for a swim just to cool down, while the water is not at med temperatures yet, it is still providing for nice swimming conditions

sunbabe08

don't get me wrong i'm thrilled with this weather, but i would have loved it even more if i was living down in youghal again this year. darn it.

oh well :D may this heatwave last for a while longer. loving the sunshine. topping up my tan so at least i won't look like a milk bottle when i got to spain at the end of august

Same, ah sure it will get cold soon and I can hunt for snow again :pac:

I can understand when people can't sleep on holidays in the canaries or whatever becuase 29c at night after being in the high 30s all day is unbearable.

But 22c in Ireland? Cmon lads kick the blanket off or something.. It's not THAT bad.

Outkast_IRE

Its the humidity that makes it more uncomfortable, I was just out running there and the humidity was quite high my sweat wasn't evaporating much at all. Not a nice feeling.

In spain or the Canaries if its 30 degrees, the humidity would be very low, this would be a far more comfortable for people to deal with

ninebeanrows

The heat is well and truly on! 23 at 10am in few spots, 30c is not impossible today.

Air conditioning probably helps. :rolleyes:

The humidity in the Canaries is unreal
