Don't the Aussies have chocolate that's less melty in the summer heat, whatever ingredients they add to it? They would know.

They do actually but I wouldn’t be mad about it

Gonzo

Oak Park and Casement both at 24C.

We may never see a summer like this for another 30/40 years, lets appreciate what we have.:)

And with a Ryanair strike looming too.
Its ideal for a staycation

Its not really enjoyable at all when you're in a stuffy office all day

Cloud has bubbled up here

22.1C in Castlebar at the moment, lovely blue skies but twice as humid as this time yesterday.

Feels much warmer in SW Dublin today because no breeze to keep it cooler .

Yes which is why Australian chocolate tastes a bit like wax if you're not used to it already.

Just nudging 25c at midday in Durrow.

Google weather still pushing a 50% chance of showers this afternoon. Anyone else see it like that? South Dublin

Oak Park hit 25.1c at 12:00 making it the eleventh consecutive day with heatwave conditions (day with 25c or more) at the station. Turning into Ireland's longest heatwave since Birr's 14 heatwave days in August 1976.

I just hope the pollen count goes down. I am absolutely driven crazy with hay fever. It's so bad it's coming across more like an extremely bad head cold. My nose is running, sinuses throbbing with a bad headache and I've developed a bad cough!

I took antihistamines and a steroid nasal spray and it's only helped a bit. I've literally had to resort to sitting in the car as the AC and pollen filters really helped!

Never had hay fever like this before. Absolutely miserable stuff.

25C at noon in Casement already. I suspect this could be one of the warmer days for the Dublin area so far.   It felt a lot warmer/heavier even at 8am this morning walking to work along the Liffey Quays when usually the breeze keeps things temperate.

You're hayfever symptoms seem pretty normal to me. Myself and my partner suffer as you describe, and worse, during pollen season. I've noticed that there has been a lessening of symptoms in recent days so hopefully the worst is over for the season.

Meanwhile in North Kildare, some cloud is now building however it is still getting the warmest in a while. 25.4c

After a calm early morning, the sea breeze has well and truly kicked in with a vengeance on the coast. Dublin Bay buoy is reporting 14knts, its similar in Balbriggan right now.
19C, feeling pleasant.

Long odds on to beat the 14 days.

Can you wear a mask? ie a surgical mask? I am having to re infections and the same idea..

Itssoeasy

Well compared to 5am this morning it's cloudier now in Cork. I don't see any rain yet but there is cloud around. I don't know the temp or even how it feels outside but it doesn't look cold.

Mobhi1

It's 24.8C now in Glasnevin, and not much of a breeze noticeable.

Gonzo

26C now at Dunshaughlin, making today the warmest day here since last Thursday and tied second warmest day of the year so far.

About post this, cloudiest day yet here on kildare/Laois border still 26c when the sun makes an appearance. Some of the cloud is even looking dark

lawred2

not a cloud to be seen down in the IFSC

lunch al fresco the way it should be

It has to be said that the two months of sun has done wonders for the ladies...

Gonzo

clouds starting to appear here now, hopefully there won't be many more of them.

Anyone use the wunderground app ? I am finding it the most reliable and is bang on most days. It takes info from your nearest on line weather station. It probably depends on your location but I am lucky as someone has weatherstation about 2km from me..
I have my own little cheap one in garden but I doubt it’s very reliable...

Doctor Jimbob

For the hay fever sufferers, boots do a nasal "spray" (really just a vegetable-based a powder) that I've found to be a great help. Supposedly it works by blocking pollen from entering the nostrils. Sounds a bit strange I know but might be worth a go for any of you looking for some extra relief. It stops the runny nose if nothing else.
