Stunning few days in Dunmore East (apart from Monday: and even then the rainfall volumes were lower than expected). Major sea fog now mind you: super humid.

great to see some of the country get some nice sunny and relatively warm weather over the past few days, that it's not just the UK stealing every bit of sun and warmth. A real kick in the teeth for Dublin and most of Leinster which has had a very poor run with this 'fine' spell.

This evening just goes to show the potential heat we are missing out on. Temperature here outside is still 18C, possibly warmer than it was earlier on in the afternoon.

Tomorrow doesn't look like any better for eastern areas, mostly cloudy and temperatures held back.

Temperatures tomorrow still look great on the models for everywhere but a huge pinch of salt for those in the east as they have been way off the mark for eastern areas over the past 3 days.





Warmth looks like it's now going to continue right up to Monday with most models showing low twenties for the next 5 to 6 days, this will depend greatly on cloud cover.

Doing a few jobs ouside after 10pm and not a cloud in the sky, thinking to myself wow this will be the first year with a clear night for the Perseid meteors.
Went in and had a cup of tea and a bit to eat and the plan was to go and sit out for awhile but its completely clouded over outside. You couldn't make it up.

Just went out to look myself and cloud cover as far as I could see.. completely sums up the so called summer of 2020.......all sh**te no dice

Gonzo

cloud has cleared here in Meath, just like most nights over the past week it has been clear but by morning the cloud is blanketed everywhere and doesn't break again till after dark, very frustrating.

Hopefully we will see some sun over the next 5 days, hasn't been even a glimse of sunshine in over 72 hours.

OldRio

Well here in Leitrim we've had one summer day, last Saturday. The cloud from the east has been spilling over to us, very frustrating.

alentejo

still cloud in Dublin

Nice sunny morning in Dublin 5. I don’t think the weather has been that bad in Dublin, no rain at all recently. To be 23 degrees today, can’t argue with that

Decided to chance going out stargazing with the 9 year old around 1130pm
We seen two shooting stars
Amazing
This has been a testing 6 months for everyone but there have also been some positives. A lot of memories made

Damn, I stepped out just after 11 but wasn’t patient enough to stick around...stayed for about 5 minutes, didn’t see anything, maybe tonight!

Gonna be another scorcher in Cork :-)

Yesterday was 24c in Sligo, Monday was 21c even though it rained in the evening,
today probably 25c and tomorrow too.

This must be the best August weather we have had in nearly 15 years. One run of GFS had cool and unsettled from Thursday but now its back to the low out West steering up warm Southerlies another few days like 2003 and 2006.

Wheres the monsoon?

Oh yes. Thats next week because im off from Wednesday...:(

Yup, I'm on a week off next week and it looks like it's gonna get more unsettled - tbh I wouldn't mind if it was a little cooler once it's dry, but not sure if that's gonna be the case

Kutebride

16C. Still, calm, warm. Wicklow hills

First sign of sunshine since Saturday now in Dublin 16. 18.9c atm.

Gonzo

first difficult night sleeping since summer 2018 and got very little sleep. Temperatures last night here didn't get below 16C, very rare for that to happen. Sun is finally shining for the first time in almost 4 days, hopefully it will last most of the day.

PokeHerKing

19C in D24 and currently completely overcast but has the look of burning off by late morning.

D6w The sun came out for 10 minutes and it's gone!

What I would call a real summer's morning in Galway. Hazy dusty blue sky. Still some patchy cloud banks blowing over at times but they are very soft looking.

namloc1980

Clear blue sky and very warm already this morning in east Cork.

Gutted though as I am at work. Have time off from middle of next week just in time for the weather to turn to crap. Fantastic.

20.0°c on the dot in Kildare now

lawred2

hazy blue tinged clouds in North Dublin

feeling of a warm day but could go to scutter based on previous days

pauldry

Actually there has been 8 days in August with temperatures above 20c in Sligo

July had 2.

Tomorrow and Friday will likely be 2 more.

So if someone said August will have 10 days over 20c in Sligo Id have taken that.

As the old weather saying goes
"If the weather is shyte in Spain, it will be good in Sligo"

Biscay low...STAY THERE

pad199207

Already warmer here now than it was Monday and Tuesday

Gonzo

Sun gone already, all 20 minutes of it, I hope I don't have to wait another 4 days to see the sun again.

leahyl

Looking good for some thunder and lightening action on Leeside tonight I think?

US2

Got to see a good few meteorites on 3 separate nights this week, delighted. Have not seen since August 2015. Might not see again for God knows how many years.

Lovely warm day in Dublin 5
