    Absolutely loving this weather and heat, moar please!

    I was smack bang in the middle of Lyon city centre during the 03 heatwave, this is pleasant weather in comparison!

    You'd climatise if you lived there. If this heat wave continued for another few weeks, we'd get used to it.

    I'm not saying its uncomfortable (though its a few degrees above my optimum)
    I'm saying the lack of movement is just dull. While I'm not a fan of endless Atlantic fronts at least you know something is happening! :D

    I like it best when it's low to mid twenties with a light breeze.

    Yeah, I actually like Ireland's variable weather.

    The office was unbearable to work in yesterday, doesn't seem as bad today. Although I think I am just getting used to it at this stage! Fantastic weather.

    You have an optimum? It only reaches 26/26 along the east coast. If this was a dry air mass, it would be pleasant. My only issue with this weather, is the humidity keeping me awake until 3 a.m. and the humidity makes it difficult to sunbathe.

    We've got clouds rolling in from the east here in Meath and it's depressing.

    Dun Laoghaire is now the midst (mist) of the sea fog, temps at the waters edge have dropped to 14.9 and its feels cooler albeit with high humidity. Its not particularly dense though, visibility is still at around 400 metres and from the satellite looks like its isolated and will blow through / burn off within a couple of hours. Anyone looking for some heat relief should walk the pier before then!

    This is a great little stand alone website from the UK Met, not sure if its been mentioned on the Forum before......

    http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/

    The sea fog and cloud in East Anglia and east of the Pennines has temps pegged back to 16-19, meanwhile SW London is already at 30C at midday

    .......... and not for the first time either, the best weather this summer (so far) is the further west you go, when the west of Ireland was 25c+ in early June eastern England was only getting temps of around 12c.
    I cannot recall a summer like this, it's only in winter that it's meant to get warmer the further west you go. :confused: , high pressure this summer is near Ireland and eastern England has been plagued by constant N/NE winds with low cloud rolling in off the Northsea as a result.

    Clear blue skies and a temp of 23.4c here in the sunny south east. Got an all time high of 27.8c yesterday but I have a feeling that could be broke again tomorrow.

    Just 51mm of rain since the start of June, most of it fell in early June, temperatures getting near 29C the last couple of days, looks like it could be hotter today.
    Drought conditions setting in as grass is increasingly turning brown.

    Correct all readings I am seeing for London are 23 degrees at the moment. West of Ireland is really getting the best of the heat. Seems like east of Ireland will do better from Friday onwards. Still lovely here in Dublin city though

    This is not unusual at all. While we don't get these heat waves too often, when we do the West often gets the best of it. The reason is that the warm air is coming in from the continent at the moment i.e. from the east. So the onshore breezes are coming from the east. Going west then the influence of cooling onshore breezes is reduced and the effect of the hot land mass increases.

    I'm from Limerick but I noticed this when I moved to Wexford for a while in 1992....We had a brief spell like we are having now but it was decidedly fresher in Courtown than Ballybunion (as it is this week)...

    Our usual weather comes from the Atlantic but this doesn't apply at the moment but appears that it will do from the weekend. High pressure to hold though....
