Original Question: Heatwave week of 03-04-17 ? Replies and guessed highest Temps.

OldRio

Working outside and its bloody cold. Heatwave me hole.

Storm 10

According to ME this morning we are back to rain again on Sunday, I recall one of them saying we are into a long dry spell for the foreseeable future, seems a few days is the foreseeable future for ME

Storm 10, a dry spell can go on for months and months. After a long run of dry months, it officially becomes a drought then. Like, do you think October 1974-August 1976 (the famous Irish drought) had 0mm of rainfall? No, rain came at times but was in short supply. Rain returning doesn't necessarily mean the end of a dry spell, same with a drought. The heavy rains of January/February/June 2011 did not end the drought of 2010-12 in England & Wales now did it? No. The rest of 2012, April-December (which were all wetter than normal except May) ended it, a run of 8 wetter than normal months.

The highest temperature I predict is 16c, it's probably going to be 17c knowing my luck of exact value predicting :rolleyes:.

In fairness to ME they don't forecast out beyond 4/5 days so that's the foreseeable future anything after that in this country is guess work.

From Met Eireann

Outlook

Monday: Rain in western counties will extend everywhere during the morning and will then turn more to showers during the afternoon and evening. A clearance will develop during the evening and night. Highest temperatures of 13 or 14 degrees.

Tuesday: Apart from an isolated shower, most of the day will be dry but rather cloudy overall, or with only brief periods of sunshine. Quiet a fresh day with highs of 9 to 11 degrees in westerly breezes.

Midweek: Except for an occasional shower it will continue to remain dry but rather cloudy. Temperatures will remain in the range 10 to 12 degrees in westerly breeze



Hyperthermia wont pose too much of a problem :rolleyes:

Met eireann bang on the money again

pauldry

Did they write that about Hyperthermia?

Anyways. I can predict with high confidence that it will be 16 to 18 or 19c in July on many days and sunshine and showers.

It is most years. Then there is 5 or 6 days over 20c.

So predicting 10 to 12c in April doesnt make ME geniuses.

Global warming is legit if you ask me but it does not have a direct impact on Ireland's weather bar heavier rainfalls, at least in my opinion.

And windier weather/more storms!

pauldry

Global Warming doesnt really affect our weather but Climate Change is and will.

The next step of the big change will be when the Arctic Sea Ice is gone in Summer. Then Greenland wont be able to pool as much cool air over the Northwest of Ireland in Summer.

I still think we may see 35c in Summer in Ireland in the next 20 years.

As for this heatwave. Ehmmmm.......

I did predict 21c in Newport today.... its a typo I meant 11c

Maybe tomorrow will see 19 or 20c somewhere and at least MT will be right ....AGAIN..:P

Great news! temps could reach 18 degrees tomorrow according to the press. Woo hoo! Fun!

And here is another cliché, non-imaginative image they show to make us all feel good and excited about the prospect:

I am surprised that terms like 'the mercury could soar' or 'sun starved Irish' have not been used in this reductive article, but still, looking at that image, I can't help but desire that it will pour down on their little deluded parade.

God, I'm bitter

22c here today. Glorious.

Are u n england?

19 or 20 most in ireland

Gaoth Laidir

18.7 at Casement was the highest.

M.T. Cranium

So delayed but not denied sort of a thing, really it was a forecast of when clouds would break and they held really solid for both Wednesday and Thursday. I am probably too optimistic a person to be in the weather forecasting business, a sour pessimist will always win at this game.

Hmmm oh where oh where could one of them be found... Not this forum

Realist as opposed to sour pessimist but name calling even here is a bit childish isn't it?
