22.3C in Castlebar, blue skies starting to poke their head out through the clouds, humidity is only 55% which is quite low for the day thats in it.

Do you know what the humidity was in Castlebar last night, All the windows were open and it was impossible to sleep. It felt like the warmest night of the year so far.

It is very muggy and humid here at Grange with overcast skies, not a peak of sunshine to be seen anywhere. Now it's started pouring.

Though not temperature wise, this period of dry weather is very similar to 2009 because that dry spell ended on June 6th for my station and now this dry spell has ended on June 6th also.

Lovely day in Cork dull and hazy sunshine but still warm

The colours on the Met Éireann rainfall radar are unbelievable!

The becalmed Dublin 7 is unpleasantly sauna-like right now. I thought the thunder might clear the humidity out a bit, but it's worse if anything

It does introduce fresher air if the thunderstorms are produced by a cold front undercutting hot, moist air, but we're in a southerly airflow which is never a source of cold air.

Just lashing all of a sudden in Ennis.

What do people find is the most accurate website?

I use yr.no and find it a bit inaccurate lately.

Hasn't rained in my part of Galway all day, has been threatening to a few times but not yet. Fairly dark skies now.

It's trying so god damn hard to rain in North East Galway but only a few drops have come so far. Just wish it would let loose and get it over and done with now!

It wasn't the temperature I thought it'd change, but the humidity levels.

The air is being pumped up from the sub-tropical mid-Atlantic by a low pressure system. It's a source that will keep getting hotter and wetter as the summer progresses:

So we're looking at a very warm and humid summer?

I just read your prediction. So far so good. I hope you are right. I have been swimming every day for over a week and I am loving it.

Just letting you know that I made these predictions back in December plus I posted them here on this thread on 12 May (19 days before). Thanks, so do I! I told everybody these predictions.

Just over 20C still in Castlebar and the humidity is shooting up, nearly 20% in the last hour and a half, we missed out on any bad weather today.

where is that ?
have they fans even at reception ?
that's one thing I've noted staying in hotels in Ireland and uk
even the best of hotels here may not have air con
I stay in budget hotels regularly in Manchester. All have air conditioning and I would not stay in one that didn't!

not gonna give the name of the hotel for obvious reasons but no fans. its amazing the amount of places that don't have air conditioning. Public transport is ahead of the curve with air conditoning in Ireland but I think all hotels should have it by law, granted there are not many days per year its needed, but once it's needed, not having it is torture.

The difference in temperature between Galway and where I live in Meath at night is huge, at least in this current warm spell. I love warm and even hot weather by day, but warm nights with no air conditioning or openable windows is just not fun in any way.

I stayed in a family room in a Mayo hotel in march
a nice hotel
it was not that warm but no air con and it was only just bearable
anyway we digress

Hardly a wink of sleep with the humidity last night.

98% humidity for most of last night in Castlebar and it is still in the 90's, but we finally got a sprinkling of rain during the night, the first in about 2 weeks.
