Warm and sunny, possibly very warm weather later from 11th to 19th June

Wall to wall sunshine finally arrived in Dublin and temperatures responding nicely. Spare a thought for our neigbours across the water though where for most of England and Wales it's a dreary, cloudy and cool day with temps in the low teens. It could be worse.

I don't know how people can find it warm.

I'm in Dublin city centre, cloud has lifted but it's by no means warm, cooling breeze as well.

I often find it amazing how people can find it 'hot' here.

It depends on your expectation I suppose. I'm north of the city center, it's 20.6c here currently with a light sea breeze, and it feels warm. That is warm for Ireland historically. Unfortunately our treshold for what is considered "warm" is much lower than other continental countries for good reason and this is seen in the 60 year average temperatures which needless to say have Ireland languishing at the bottom in a European context.

We'll take what we can get.

Yeah, it's definitely not hot in Dublin today, but it's warm. Still though, depends on the individual.

And mid to high twenties is going to feel hot to Irish people because we are not acclimatised to it. It's all relative.

The chances of the fine weather lasting in to the weekend are steadily getting better. We are seeing less emphasis on a direct northerly flow that would have dropped temperatures quite a bit and more emphasis on high pressure remaining very near Ireland just to the northwest and a light northwesterly or variable flow with warm air remaining across the southern half of Ireland. For far northern parts it still looks a cloudier, colder end to the week but I have a sneaking suspicion a lot of us might get away with it and remain on the relatively warm side with some decent sunshine.

So by Friday for example high pressure well in control. We are still on the very warm side and this is a trend hopefully we continue to see build.



But we'll see. Changes to come yet. Unlikely the bbq needs to go back in the garage on Thursday

Great day for an astronaut to take a picture of Ireland from the International Space Station

Would you like 130km/h winds and heavy rain then 5c temps? you can have that weather in your part of the country, lol.. i for one am sick of it.

pauldry

Got to 22.8c in sligo

Tomorrow hotter but could be Galway and Clare that are hottest and Newport of course in aptly named furnace. Then borderline cool air close by and temps 16 to 22

Kermit.de.frog

The weekend and in to next week - really good signs that very warm weather with lots of sunshine may just hold on after a bit of a blip for a time on Thursday and Friday with more in the way of cloud and temperatures of 16 - 21c those days. After that we could have a very pleasant weekend - which is what people really want. All well and good the nice weather now it's just unfortunate people are in work.

Should print that and have it framed! Not often we get a weather warning because of excessive heat, a very welcome change after this winter with the relentless wind storms.

ongarboy

Still 25 at Shannon at 8pm and 20 or above at 15 other met stations - who knew we'd have a second summer in a row with a real taste of heat!!

The models are starting to become very July 2013 esque. Some sort of breakdown getting pushed further and further into FI

Decent upgrade of temps, sunshine and pressure on the 18z GFS for the weekend. It looks good right now.

Serious weather here in Galway. Yesterday was like Spain in salt hill. Am i glad tues/wed/thurs are my days off

John.Icy

Full sky of thick Grey cloud....how the hell is this after forming in the last form minutes?!? (S.Kildare)

Wicklow Mountains + this wind direction is bloody killing my midday the last two days, clouds just rolling down off them with ckear skies 10 minutes up the road.

pad199207

Have scattered clouds here too John typical mountains. Im confident of it clearing later though with the rising heat stronger sun

It also had the highest in May and several other days recently, seems surprising being on the Estuary and not far from the coast.

pauldry

sligo is 8c behind the rest of Ireland today

15c fog vs 23c sun



sunny now and 17c

satellite would seem to suggest cloudy skies tomorrow though

Tarzana

I think you might be ramping a bit, Kermit.

Red Nissan

I'm 24°C in the shade, WS says 28°C almost still with a light breeze. Sun splitting the stones but Clouds are gathering as expected and will probably cloud over before too much longer.
