Well in the end we got some ferocious downpours here for rest of afternoon in NCD and some thunder and lighting.

Hopefully a drier day in store tomorrow.

35c at the moment in Singapore with 92% humidity,some cracking cb's rolling in now for the daily thunder and lightning and do ya know what you'd be looking forward to it for the cooling effect alone,never mind the excitement of it,zoom in to see the fantastic bubbling up behind and to the right of the clock tower

Bear in mind that the figures shown on that map are forecasted temperatures as per a computer model with no human input, not the actual reported temperatures at official Met Eireann sites. For example, I am currently in Tallaght and the forecasted temperature for 14:00 is between 13° and 15°:

The actual reported temperatures (note that most readings below are not official Met Eireann sites) are a few degrees higher here and it's not even 14:00 yet, when it will likely be a degree or so warmer due to the prolonged sunshine here:

14c to 15c today in Sligo. Weekend looks dry but cold still here but I don't care coz I won't be here. A lot of Dubs will though so bring your jumpers for the Northwesterly.

Regarding Summer on average June July and August are much warmer than May so it would seem wrong to call May Summer.

Maybe Joanna went by the school circular instead of Met Eireanns one.

Very pleasent and feeling quite warm in the sun. 15c although feels a bit warmer than that, although this time of the year with the positioning of the sun it is bound to feel warmer

Got this in the Glastonbury thread in Boards, how accurate is this publication, I don't fancy a summer of wet festivals.

Poor day here in Mayo with near constant heavy showers of Drizzle all afternoon, at least the rest of the week looks like an improving trend

pauldry

Ya more of this probably till Thursday evening in West. After that slow improvement. Sunday seems the best day before drizzle returns to North and West early next week. Hardly a June 2023 this year. Over 20c in Sligo most of that.

JCX BXC

Love Met Éireanns "mostly dry, drizzle in north east"

Rotten in Galway, still drizzling now. On and Off allllllllll day long.

OldRio

Horrid day yesterday. Heavy showers on and off all day.

An absolute load of bullshit, ignore.

Decent morning, forecast looks ok for today. Weekend set fair. Might have the cloud rollin Sunday but all in all, something to look forward to, weather wise. Currently 13c, N Kildare

Would the UKMO really come out with that kind of forecast, I very much doubt it so yes ignore.

A fair weekend ahead with long clear spells (away from far north) during the few hours of darkness and good visibility which reminds me the noctilucent season is upon us.

I will probably do the summer threads tomorrow as Spring officially ends on Friday night. The first week of June is looking very nice overall with plenty of dry weather up until at least the 7th or 8th of June. A warm weekend to come as well, should be great for being outdoors and doing gardening over the coming week. The upcoming spell of high pressure is likely to last a bit longer than the last spell of high pressure we had around the middle of May.

Mid 20s are possible so bring it on , watch out for the stupid weather clickbait articles 🙄

Gonzo

There is still alot of uncertainty about the warm weather next week, some models have a cold northerly plunge instead but at least the weekend till about Tuesday looks mostly warm and settled.

June 2023 was the warmest June in Ireland on record so fingers crossed we can have another class June. The poor Leaving Certs tho!
