JCX BXC

PROB 30% Thunderstorm rain in the forecast for Dublin Aiport from 7-9pm this evening.

LEIN

Went on the Dublin Bay cruise at 12:30 today.
My word it was rough, first time I ever felt sea sick.

Very disappointing morning here in D6W. Very damp and wet yet looking at the rain radar it's dry.

Gonzo

should be some rain tonight, warming up towards the mid 20s, cooler from Thursday but still very mild for time of year. Eastern areas could see close to 20C for the next 10 days with many parts staying completely dry. The north and west will be more unsettled at times from next Thursday. Overall September is starting to look very decent.

24C for Clare /Limerick tomorrow perhaps

Yea reading about having a Meridional Jet Stream for the Next 5-6 days which is helping the warmer tropical airmass travel up over Ireland. Warm and Humid, and in these parts on the SW coast expecting it to be breezy if not windy at times with mist and drizzle and patches of cloud, will feel muggy at times , good opportunities for Lenticular clouds I would think. Bit of a shell shock to the system if your body clock is expecting more Autumnal weather

That's the heat and humidity from ex-hurricane Gaston. It was absorbed into a low pressure over the north Atlantic. I haven't felt humidity like this in a while, feels real tropical.

I think there is one over me in Dublin 16! Blue skies all round, but a stubborn cloud overhead, not going anywhere (and blocking the sun). Despite that, it's a humid feeling 22.0c now.

23.4C.
One can't complain.

A mixture of blue skies and cloud in Castlebar at 20.1C and 84% humidity, it sure beats the 43mm of rain we received in the last 4 days.

Warmest September day here this decade (since I started my records in 2010). 23.6c recorded during September 2013.

26.6ºc at 1:45pm in Bray according to Trogdors Bray station which correlates with Google when I googled Bray Temp at about 1pm. I initially thought Google must be wrong until I checked Trogdors readings
