Hot Spell - Saturday 16th July onwards

Remind me, I don’t recall it.

Dry , often frosty winter overall. Not too much in the way of snow but one of the colder winters of recent times and coldest winter of the 90s. Xmas was a very seasonal frosty one.

The heat that summer at least wasn't too oppressive more of a dry heat then the humid type.

Very hot in coastal Mayo all morning, fair seabreeze has come up now and some high cloud which should moderate temps here, btw high temps and high cloud cover is a perfect combo for toddlers, they can enjoy being outside without worrying about sunburn!

I wasn't happy with my lidl weather station, it was reading too high temps,,,, so I bought another 2, have them on test now, same original outside sensor feeding them all, just picking the most accurate indoor one first then will work on te outside sensor choice.

Glorious day near trims. About 25° at the moment with the Sun coming in and out every few minutes which is perfect. Hopefully it stays that way today

The Churchtown station looked like it was going smash through 30C earlier during a sunny break. Topped out at 29.6C at 12:35. Now 27.0C with high cloud about. Sunshine will be key for any records to be broken tomorrow.

Agreed, I live in Belgium and I had this notion when I moved here that temperatures would be roughly the same as Ireland in the summer being on the same latitude, and the place doesn't exactly look or feel very Mediterranean. But the summers are generally much hotter, you can expect mid-twenties most of the time and the thirties are fairly regularly reached as well. It's looking like pushing past 40 tomorrow in many places.

A lot of that heat seems to filter through to England and Wales but it's really a rarity in Ireland. So it's great when it is reached!

25.0 Mid tipperary but it doesn't feel like it due to a very strong breeze. A mixture of cloud and hazy sunshine. Its all very meh here so far

So after mixing and picking the content of 3 boxes, this is the most likely readings I can get from the Lidl weather station.

Buy with caution I still recon temperature in and out are reading high, but much better than before.

2 boxes going back for refund.

Clouded over completely now in west mayo with a stiff cold sea breeze blowing...had to go inside.

hopefully we can scrape tomorrow out this sorry state of a potential fine spell, which will only serve as a tease.

before its back to 14 degrees and slate grey skies from tuesday onwards for another few weeks.

Even with exceptional synotics we just get trash. its unbelievable.

Dissapointing and nothing special

sounds like Dublin too, only more depressing.

Quite a lot cloudier and starting to feel very cool with that breeze on the West coast, just a very normal day here now, surprising it's gone so cool. It was warmer at 9am this morning!
