We might be complaining about the heat in a few weeks.

Nah. But the coming warm spell might break down but it wont give up if that makes any sense.

The warm incursions of High Pressure are briefly broken down by low pressures sliding through but they reestablish themselves again.

What we dont want is a low sliding down over us like May as we have seen they last for weeks.

Id say we will see temperatures into the 20s many times over the next couple of weeks.

Will bank that after the last few weeks. Hopefully a prelude to a scorcher of a summer

Finally feeling much more like May today than the middle of winter. The next few days look decent enough however there could still be some showers or light rain around in places so it won't be completely dry or sunny. It may start to turn cooler and more unsettled again from next week but we shall see.

Lovely day here in Cork - wooo hooo... more sunshine than not, nice and warm, no wind or RAIN hmmm..

sunbeam

Gorgeous here before dawn with noctilucent clouds and a full moon setting. Clouded up during the early morning, but it's breaking up again now.

Thelonious Monk

first time this year i could sit out the back without there being any kind of chill in the breeze, it's lovely, thank you Jesus or whoever

SleetAndSnow

Finally, a nice day in cork. I am actually sitting outside in a t-shirt, and there's no cold wind! Shocked.

Ditto in my part of Dublin 16. Felt like the first summer day. High of 17.6c.

Gonzo

today was a beautiful day here in Meath, got to 17C during the afternoon and loads of sunshine. Tomorrow isn't looking good, plenty of cloud and some rain around. Big improvement again from Friday afternoon after a wet start, and looks like holding dry till about Monday or Tuesday and temperatures could reach 19 or 20C in places over the weekend.

The UK looks set for a very warm week next week, we are unlikely to get the warmth they will get but temperatures of 17 or 18C is possible in places next week.

sporina

wow scorcher of an avo/eve here in Cork - glorious.. hard to believe that tomorrow is due to be a wash out.. I soo hope the forecasts are wrong

Anyone with a good lens on their camera, there will be a big bright moon on the rise around 1015pm.

Lovely day. Sat out the back most of the evening and put the bbq on. Such a shame it's so rare to have nice days.

Mercury starting to set now also

Was a nice day here. Good to see.

KanyeSouthEast

Is that a downgrade for the weekend? Certainly no sizzler!

Storm 10

Certainly not looking as good as forecast


From ME

Summary: While it will become warmer over the weekend there will be a varying amount of cloud about mixed with rain and drizzle at times. The southeast will see the best of the drier brighter conditions, while it will be generally duller and cooler to the west.

Gorgeous in Arklow so far
Nettles are loving it

Perfect conditions for the moonrise last night. Lots of people out taking photos of it and making the most of it.



A stunner of a morning in Dublin 13. Feels warm and very sunny. Unfortunate it couldn't stay this way all day.

Storm 10

OldRio

Raining in Leitrim.

Level 42

Another disgusting day in Cork City just like most of this month PISH

SouthWesterly

Raining again in kerry.
124mm this month.

sporina

this weather is schizo.. its really sending my moods into disarray ggrrrrr....

SleetAndSnow

Another housebound day in cork city. Chilly weather, wet and just generally disgusting. What a change from yesterday.

Gonzo

Was a lovely day till about 20 minutes ago, got to 18C briefly in the sunshine. Fully cloudy now with spits of rain, still fairly mild at 16C. The forecast for today was never good and tomorrow will have a poor start but should improve as the day goes on.

Storm 10

Miserable cold day in Galway with rain

The tax man

Stunning sun halo just before lunchtime in Dublin today.

yeah its hard to believe - I was down in the Blackrock/Marina area yday eve with mates and it was glorious... loads out running, sitting by the pier/water having the chats and coffee... kinda reminded me of the Oz lifestyle lol.. I knew the forecast was bad for today but I was like "oh it can't change that much"... more fool me.. think its gonna be better from tomorrow on though

pauldry

Its funny really.

Funny that Irish people still say after years of misery "its supposed to be Summer"

How many warm Summers days do we get? A few trickled here and there. Most of the other days are cloudy misty or showery with the odd few washout days most particularly on bank holidays.

It's not that bad down here in the south.

namloc1980

Grim day today, cool and wet. Hard to believe after sitting out the back garden most of yesterday afternoon and evening with the shorts on and a few nice cool beers.

pauldry

It seems to be worse down there this year.

US2

12c and raining the last 3 hours. Why o why do I waste so much time looking at forecasts.

Limerick

Xenji

Newport and Valentia as usual are leading the way with rainfall so far this year with 665mm and 664mm respectively.

Nothing wrong with the forecast for today. Today was never outlined to be a good day here in Ireland with rain or showers and cooler conditions in the forecast.

The best of the weather looks to be Saturday to about Monday or maybe Tuesday. Next week was starting to look promising but the models have backed off the idea of warm and dry for next week with the Atlantic regaining control from about Tuesday. At least we should have 2 to 3 nice days over the weekend and on Monday.

Tyrone212

Saw this on twitter just now. Short video capturing a meteorite passing over the NW last night .

18;33pm May 27th lights on in kitchen peeing down with rain 11 degrees it’s a fuxkin disgrace really. Few nice hours yesterday evening and that’s it. No sign of any settled weather.

There is a sign of settled weather. The weekend and first few days of next week should be mainly dry and relatively warm for most of Ireland.
