The hottest September temperature was recorded since 1906 in Gravesend, Kent today. Also this September has been the hottest month in over a 150 years. It's going to feel strange when i have to start wearing a jumper again.

The Daily Mail has some great pics and videos showing the contrast between the SE and NW of England.Floods in Manchester and people sunbathing in London.

Is there not a stiff north easterly breeze there? You may sheltered by Wicklow Head up the coast?
It's hard to believe its 18.7c where I am, it actually feels a bit chilly in the strong breeze!

JCX BXC

Freezing cold here in West Clare and lashing rain. 13c.

The breeze was strong earlier but light enough now,it's 21.7c and you can feel the heat

Eamondomc

Just dug out a few queens for the dinner here, home for lunch, overcast and 15 degrees no breeze.
Feels warm. Longford.

Still dry here a bit further west

Raining in castlebar at the moment, seem to be brightening from the south East again so hopefully short lived

My sky is completely cloud-free. I'm near Dublin Airport.

Tom Cruises Left Nut

Yeah its a gorgeous day here in D3

Looking forward to my walk back to Heuston this evening

MJohnston

Must be the biggest east-west divide I've seen in sometime, D2 is absolutely stunning day - cloudless blue skies, lovely warmth (not too hot), and really really still. The cycle in this morning was glorious!

ArKl0w

23.4c now ,a gin blue sky and a slight warm breeze that feels like a scirroco

JCX BXC

Good god to think its so nice not so far away, its now 15.2c here and my hands are freezing.

I love that description!
Lol, I hope its the colour of the sky now and not the condition of the viewer?

ArKl0w

We're currently at an amazing 24.1c at 515 pm in mid September !
Glad I've taken no foreign holiday this year because living in the east or southeast this year it would have been money wasted

Xenji

14.6C in Castlebar, a very changeable day with heavy rain and bright spells.

Elmer Blooker

a max of 20.2c today and 19.7c atm.
The strong breeze dropped around lunchtime followed by a glorious and cloudless afternoon.

Gonzo

got to 22C here earlier, beautiful day, not a cloud all day, clear blue skies, perfect evening for a bbq and few pints.

The cold wet misery that was forecasted to last here all week by both RTE and BBC looked like it got pushed about 200 miles further west and today managed to join in with the UK in glorious conditions. Yesterday was decent enough as well altho nowhere as good as today.

Could still hit 20C tomorrow but tomorrow really is the end of the summer warmth.

I can attest to that, dull overcast and raining for a time in Tralee giving 4.8mm, only got up to 15.3C and currently 14.2C and feeling cool and damp this evening in high humidity :mad:

Danno

Hit 22c but mist/haze/low cloud has covered in once more. 18c.

Of course it did

LEIN

Still above 17C here.

Gonzo

still 20C in Carlow.

Well just had two dry days in a row here in SE Sligo, most unusual for this year. I got my lawns cut yesterday and my sister's lawn today, am a very happy man today.

19c here at the moment
Cloud has trapped today's heat

kingshankly

Has this summer seen some exceptionally bad forecasting
Never seen it so bad the amount of times this summer they predicted a good spell for it not to happen
Then today one of the warmest days of the year here in the nort east was 22/23 degrees most of the day not a cloud in the sky which was a welcome surprise

The complete opposite here. Dreary, damp, gloom ridden day with the odd spit of rain. Brought back warm comforting memories of the Summer just gone.

Was the perfect day for hitting the top shelf.

Eamondomc

Just back in from a walk, very warm, still 18 degrees here, a bit of sweat tonight.

It was forecast to be nice for the past few days in the west and dull damp etc in the east
Once again it was wrong
"Unbroken blue skies and sunshine again " for gonzo after a forecast of 3/4 days of rain/dull conditions
We are talking a 48 hour timeframe that has been wrong on a weekly basis every week since June
Very frustrating

Couldn't agree more. It was depressing on Sunday looking at the the farmers forecast on RTE and the week ahead on BBC showing the eastern half of Ireland plagued with Rain stalled from Monday morning to Thursday afternoon with the warm sunny conditions in the UK preventing the rain from going anywhere else.

Instead we've had a beautiful summer's week with the exception of Monday which did feature some heavy rain and cool conditions. Tuesday morning started off dull but the clouds soon broke and the temps climbed towards 20C and have been in the 20's ever since and mostly wall to wall sunshine until now with cloud starting to increase from the west. Just touched 20C here again. The continental heatwave managed to get all the way from Poland to just slightly west of the River Shannon, while we didn't see heatwave conditions, most of the country has enjoyed the low 20's and blue skies, very welcomed and especially nice this late in the year.

Unfortunately the far west has paid for this error in forecasting with a duller and cooler week than what was originally forecasted for them.

KM79, you must have missed out by the warmth and sun by only a few miles, yesterday much of the midlands including Athlone got to 22/23C.
