There'll be fierce debate on here come August about how good or otherwise the summer was.

But June looks like it will turn out sunnier, drier and slightly warmer than average for Dublin at least, which you can't ask much more of really.

Really feel for those of you further West.

It's touching 20º where I am by the coast - off for a sea swim later.

Stunning day in Dublin 5. BBQ will be ready this eve. 20 degrees at Phoenix park and Dublin airport

Yes gorge in Dublin now, and no annoying chill breeze, lovely and warm

Swings and Roundabouts really. In 2020 East Coasters had a mediocre Summer (After the Countrywide Beautiful Lockdown Spring) whereas the Northwest had a very decent Summer if I recall correctly. Seemed to be an endless stream of photo's all Summer from staycations to Donegal where the weather was incredible.

pauldry

Youre right.

I guess we will have to wait a few more years. At least some places are getting the nice weather.

A beautiful day in Meath, gin blue skies and 22C. Looks good up to Friday but things look like they will go downhill very quickly from this weekend. There were plenty of suggestions from the models up to a few days ago that the opening week of July could be warm or even hot, but now the outlook is looking increasingly unsettled and a trend towards cooler conditions after this weekend.

Definitely not where I was...

We had a nice second half of March up until the June bank holiday then nothing but cold northerly winds and cloud for June and July. There was a ~10 day spell of nice weather in August but overall I definitely wouldn't call it a good summer

pauldry

Yeah last year bucked the trend of umpteen bad Augusts in a row in Sligo too.

Latest ECM has +16 uppers close to the East around 7th July. Early days of July still look very mild to me - though unsettled.

Lovely day in Killarney. Lots of sunshine and feels pleasantly warm.

Glengarriff (Cork) ACS is almost 25c.

This is 1.3c above nearest stations.

22.5c here in Waterford City. Warmest day of the year so far.

23C at Dunshaughlin and definitely feels more like 25 or 26C. The local road is starting to have melted/bubbling tar in places too, haven't seen that since summer 2018.

Absolute cracker of a day in Dublin, really balmy. Very light breeze but a warmer breeze and not a cloud in the sky, this feels as nice as the day earlier in June that was around 25-26 degrees.

Phoenix park, Casement and Dunsany both reporting 23 degrees at the moment, Dublin airport 22.

Meanwhile rain interruptions at Wimbledon again today

Is the sunshine recorder at Dublin Airport broken?

Have noticed on many days recently that the station has come up as cloudy on the hourly reports when it's been sunny in my parts.

And today there isn't a cloud to be seen in the East on the satellite but it's still reporting cloudy conditions.

Slashermcguirk

I was thinking that, not a cloud in the sky nearby

Ok scratch that, it’s a stunner of a day in Killarney. Great weather for a bit of exploring today. This is definitely one of the nicest days of the year ‘til now.

Met Eireann forecast below, looks great. It's normal Irish summer weather. Rare if ever that we get wall to wall sunshine and high temperatures for the whole summer.

"Outlook: Lots of dry weather expected as high pressure dominates.

not its not! May was crap as was most of June.. yeah - we are getting some good days now... but I see lots of rain for the weekend..

not looking for "wall to wall sunshine and high temp's".. but this summer has been v erratic and its not our norm.. my Dad is an 83 yr old farmer he had never witnessed a May as cold as this year's

Finger's crossed for the rest of the summer months..

People being told to conserve water.

I notice fields starting to burn around here in Kilkenny from the lack of rainfall.

The far north and north-west of the country hasn't experienced any of the warm temperatures or sunshine so far this week, but it does look like Thursday and Friday will be better in those parts, while at the same time it will become much cooler and cloudy along southern coasts from Thursday.

Tomorrow will be similar to today, cool along northern and north-western coasts, similar to today elsewhere but perhaps a a degree cooler and more in the way of cloud compared to today.



Thursday should see an improvement along northern and north-western coasts with warmer temperatures, variable cloud and sunshine elsewhere and temperatures generally 18 to 22C.



Friday will see a breakdown of the warm and settled weather from the south. The north and north-west could see it's warmest day of the year so far while southern-western and southern coastal areas will turn noticeably cooler with cloudy and showery conditions taking over.

Gonzo if you were to take a stab at tomorrow where might the best place be for sun and warmth. Thanks In advance

My guess would be somewhere between Shannon and Oak Park, southern half of the country looks best tomorrow.

If the Arpege is anything to go by looks fairly decent in terms of sunshine through the southern half of the country but cloudier conditions in the north could spread south during the day.

KanyeSouthEast

Thanks Gonzo so Cork/Kerry would be decent chance?
