Thanks. How accurate could that be? It says 13.9c for most of the south west of Ireland, then jumps to 14.4 around the corner in Bantry Bay.

The water in sheltered bays probably goes up far higher than 13.9c in the right conditions.
Im guessing some pockets of shallow sea water could be about 18c in places during this heat wave.

Here are some buoy reports from Met Eireann.

28 at the Oak Park Met Eireann station.

+4 warmer than what this morning's GFS was showing for that area at 3pm.

I think temperature maps on the models over push the effect of a sea breeze for the east tbh. I'm direct west of the Wicklow mountains so I wouldn't feel the effects of the sea breeze on temps as much as the weather maps suggest, probably the same story for Carlow.

Been a lovely day here today, oak park is my closest metE station so it's been a hot one!

up for anything

Just came across this and it made me laugh most of them are so true.

15 signs it's nearly too hot.

Great day, temperature reached about 23C here so comfortably cooler than the rest of the country. Almost no cloud for the entire day as well. Lovely.
