The plan with this thread is to unofficially survey the weather wherever people read Boardsie from September 1st. There will be regular correspondents from each of the four provinces informing you of what kind of weather is happening wherever they are located. Where possible this will be on a daily basis and should be…

Lovely day here, max temp was 22.4°C which is only 0.4 off my yearly high.
Felt a couple of degrees warmer in work, wouldnt be surprised to see 24-25°C somewhere in Dublin today.

OK - I hit a new yearly max today - 24.3, albeit briefly. This was 0.2 higher than my max on 11th June. Anyone else reach a new max today?? I see some of you were close.

BTW - Lovely evening - still 23.4c. Enjoying a few beers in the garden...

What time did you record your max ?
I see that the Weatherlink software crashed on my weather pc roughly around 15:00, so no record between then and 17:05 (when I came home and restarted it). Bloody frustrating if a station record temperature occurred during that time!!

For my own sanity please say it was outside of this time window!!

Sorry Longfield but it was at 15:53! You can see this on my website - http://www.roundwoodweather.com

Also, this was a brief max. The daily log (every 20 mins) shows that 4pm recorded 23.7. You can also see this as a link from my website in the 'Detailed Reports' link on the left.

Damn - Hope you keep your sanity!!

You could say that. We have our own equipment and websites. See http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055011838

I'm very much an amateur with a big interest and love of the weather.
I use a Davis Vantage Pro (original) with Weatherlink software, Snowbie and Mothman have newer models than mine (I think), Trogdar has one also, not sure if its an original though or a newer one.

Others like Artictree and Dolanbaker (i think? ) use Oregon Scientific stations.

Its always great to get new members with their own stations posting here especially if you live close to the person with the station.
I live close to Artictree and Mothman , so its especially interesting for me to see the local variances in weather - Mothman seems to get more thunderstorms and sun than me, but Artictree and myself get more snow than him hehe ,

Not as sunny today as yesterday but still a nice day overall. 18.2c ATM and 70% cloudy.

GFS certainly looks good for the week : http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/avnpanel1.html

Nothing spectacular but at least relatively dry...

Greetings from Palma, Mallorca.

Back tomorrow, the weather here has been made, 3 big thunderstorms and big wind storm yesterday with sand all over the cars.

Has become incredibly warm, probably near 27c right now i would imagine, the wind is like nothing i have ever experienced, dead hot wind for and getting hotter.

See you all tomorrow and i will be back posting.;)

Finished our wheat harvest today, seven continuous days cutting with no rain, which is quite unusual. Moisture contents were about 20% for the first few days but dropped quickly to around 15% once the wind changed to the NW. Soil conditions still quite poor though.

I've noticed today that even though it was nice and sunny, it struggled to reach a max of 18c on my weather station. I wonder, was the summer max of 24.3 recorded last Friday going to be the max for 2007? I think it looks like it....

Dull and not too warm right now, looks like the cloud will lift and break later.
