Eastern England certainly will see temps lowering off the north sea but probably only temporarily. Winds look set to go southeasterly off the continent again by Sunday and that would bring a rise in temperatures again.

Ireland will more than likely get to Saturday with high twenties maximums before cooling off back to low twenties. West is best this time.

It all depends on the LP moving up from the south and how that's going to be orientated for the start of the following week. That could end up being a heat pump for us or it could be the open door for the Atlantic weather systems but we don't know yet.

yeah, what they were showing for Monday is high teens off most of UK and low twenties max off the eastern half of Ireland with mid to high twenties still possible off the west coast on Monday. Still almost one week away so let's see what happens, so much can change within that time.

It would be nice to be in the West of Ireland now, instead of this concrete jungle. I prefer temperatures in the low twenties and thunderstorms over this heat anyday
At least it's not humid that's one crumb of comfort...

SleetAndSnow · 25-06-2018 11:54pm

The thermostat for the heating is in my bedroom so have an accurate check on room temp. It is currently 21 degrees in my bedroom with the windows open all day. That’s a no quilt night anyway.

Kermit.de.frog · 25-06-2018 11:56pm

Schuuu cloud, schuuu

AROME did well today, this is what it is predicting for tomorrow and look at those temperatures tomorrow night. We might get more heat than DOCARCH in Florida !

Cracking day in Tenerife and cool enough to sleep comfortably at night

Thinly veiled....ah forget it :P

Currently 13.4c. Thats just under a 15c drop in 8hrs. Brrr!

Cantona's Collars · 26-06-2018 2:08am

Forecast for the week on BBC giving a low with humid air to start moving up over the weekend with a thundery breakdown and the Atlantic to take over next week.
Here's hoping the Atlantic influence can feck off as once it starts it seems to like hanging around giving us a lot of damp muck.

up to this morning BBC had the warm weather continuing all through next week, but now they are forecasting a cooling trend from Thursday and average temperatures from as early as next Monday. I hope they are wrong.

Kermit.de.frog · 26-06-2018 2:22am

Important to note that does not apply to Ireland which should hold the high temperatures longer until at least Saturday.

Also a lot of uncertainty regarding events for later in the weekend and in to next week.

mg1982 · 26-06-2018 2:32am

Holy crap thats some downgrade.

'The nights are gettin' warmer
It won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again'.

Can't believe Thin Lizzy released the song on April 17, 1976... kinda prophetic!

Hope 'the boys' arrived this year

A right battle going on over Ireland this weekend.

The trough out of Biscay is moving north through Saturday bringing it's very warm and humid air. Jet stream trying to flatten the ridge to the west from the northwest and bring through the north Atlantic fronts.

Ireland caught in the middle between the very warm continental air and much cooler, fresher Atlantic conditions but with the warm/hot side winning for now.

Temperatures high this weekend.

But it's narrow margins.

Exciting eh? :cool:

kod87 · 26-06-2018 8:20am

was not expecting the light rain we had this morning, feels lovely and fresh outside after yesterdays heat, nice morning

KingdomRushed · 26-06-2018 8:31am

Trending towards a wet breakdown from as early as Sunday morning from what I can see. Hopefully the heat will return. If it does then the breakdown can only be welcome, drought could hurt the economy and much native wildlife. On the other hand a return of a long term pattern of Atlantic weather would be annoying.

I think the grass in eastern counties wouldn't be annoyed. I haven't seen such widespread brown grass since the epic 1995 summer!

pauldry · 26-06-2018 8:40am

definitely unsettled after Friday. First in South. In North by Sunday. Might be warm n humid though for 3 or 4 days after

Donegal Storm · 26-06-2018 8:44am

Dull and overcast this morning in Kildare, looking at the radar there's been rain across the Midlands and West which I don't think was forecast at all?

All a bit disappointing considering the forecasts of wall to wall sunshine from Sunday onwards

JCX BXC · 26-06-2018 8:45am

8:45am and it's 20.1c.

scottigael · 26-06-2018 8:49am

Thick blanket of cloud as far as eye can see and feeling very muggy. Not exactly what I was expecting!

Cloud will be dispersing as well so not as hazy.

Looks at radar

Mullaghteelin · 26-06-2018 8:57am

The edge of the cloud cover is just west of me in north county Dublin, with lots of blue sky to my east and south east. The sun has emerged, but theres still dew on the grass, unlike recent mornings when it was bone dry.

Villain · 26-06-2018 9:00am

Cloud moving pretty much as forecast this morning, I wouldn't be so quick to call the breakdown as some are this morning, threat of thunderstorms certainly but any rainfall could be localized. My station saw 20mm of rain on 1st of June, of which 16mm fell in 15 minutes, but some nearby areas saw less than 2mm.

Looks like that cloud will rapidly erode this morning and blazing sunshine likely from later this afternoon, tomorrow and Thursday

Pops_20 · 26-06-2018 9:01am

Clear blue skies in Ballincollig, Cork. Nearly at 20 degrees already.

Danno · 26-06-2018 9:18am

Despite the radar showing a shower over South Laois around 7.45am to 8am nothing fell at all. Must be high level stuff evaporating before it gets to ground level.

barneyrub · 26-06-2018 9:22am

Quite dull here in Sligo this am. Looks like it could drizzle!
