    Im using the Met.ie app, very same as the website. I'm about 15 miles from the city so I cant imagine it's any different in there. Current conditions I'm looking at and it couldn't be more wrong. I'll wait till 2 or 3pm before I get too upset about it though.


    Hahaha the Met site is now saying it's cloudy in Limerick and theres not a cloud to be seen. Iv no thermometer but I'd say its about 24c. Lovely calm breeze now too.

    Just got off the Luas at the Kylemore about 45 mins ago. The Mercedes clock showed the temperature being 28 Celsius. I think that is accurate as any time i drive by in my car it always gives the same temp.

    Wow. Nice. A 2 year record I'd say? Did we hit the 30c mark in 2013?

    Sure, your car says 28c :)
    In fairness they are correct so infrequently in warm weather that I wouldn't have faith.
    This woman last year swore to the gospel that it was 39c because her new car said so.

    I presume there is a thermometer on some Mercedes building because he said it matches with what his car is saying.
    You are right though, my car gave a reading of 45c in 2013 :0

    Look, I'm just saying that the ME site showed that it was sunny with 20c in Limerick when it clearly was not sunny or 20c.

    Which station reported 20 degrees? Met Eireann don't have a station in Limerick.

    If you select Limerick, then it should give (and I emphasise this) Limerick's weather. Not Shannon's current conditions.

    Yeah, this was explained to me earlier this morning. It's Shannon station? I have the settings on for Limerick. I just found it ironic that this morning it said it was sunny when it was raining, and now saying it's cloudy when theres no cloud.

    Well, my car said 27C this afternoon as I came home but when I checked the Vantage Pro it was underestimating the temp by three degrees, recording only 24C.

    I really shouldn't have bothered buying the useless thing :rolleyes:

    Limerick, as the crow flies, is about 2km from Shannon.

    Don't forget though that those local forecasts on the met site are just that: forecasts, so may not reflect the current conditions. Either way, they are just computer generated anyway and about as useful as a moterbike in an ashtray (to us weather nuts anyway).

    reached 26C here earlier this evening, best day of the year by a mile. Now after 10pm it's still 22C, really nice Spanish style evening. Shame this only lasts till tomorrow although Friday should still be decent.

    Turned out to be a beautiful evening here. The first good evening we have had in ages. Blue skies calm and warm. Hows it looking for tomorrow?

    an east/west split with 16-20C in the west, mostly cloudy and rain turning persistent, the east warm and sunny with 20-25C. Normal service resumes everywhere from Saturday unfortunately.

    I'd consider it south east based on my recent visit.

    Casement 21c at midnight in a light southerly, I notice humidity is only 59% there compared with 80-90% elsewhere. I am almost certain that this unusually high temp (for Ireland) at night is caused by whats called a Katabatic or down slope wind.

    It helps if you go to bed first! :)

    Temp here (while I was asleep) rose from 15C to 21C between 12.30 and 1.30; humidity dropped from 90% to 65% in the same hour.

    Then "normal" cooling and humidity resumed till we had 13.6C/95% just before 5am.

    Looks like that katabatic theory is right (sadly I have no wind data since my connection to the wind thingy was severed - really should fix that...)
