    Makes sense because Dublin airport tends to be more exposed to coastal breezes than Phoenix park and casement. Would be great to see Dublin airport hit 30 today. Phoenix park and casement the ones to watch for this afternoon I would say

    Dublin Airport record is 28.5c or something like that.

    Nearly all their warmest days on record have happened this July. Ask Sryan if ya don't believe me.

    The rise in temperatures is definitely slowing down and those clouds or showers is not helping things. Will be knife edge stuff getting to 33C.

    That cloud in the south east is really exploding on the satellite loop, could be some pretty decent showers for a period this afternoon.

    We needed to be seeing a 30° somewhere at 12pm.... cloud is building and my latest update from west Dublin is that cloud is building to the south and breeze has picked up.... even to get over 30 would be interesting.

    The 1887 record goes unchallenged yet again.....

    I know 30C has been reached in Meath only twice in the past 100 years but Dunsany I think is only 29C as an all time record.

    Could be a positive, I note that at casement, at 10:30am there was a variable wind at 3 knots with a temp of 26°c, at 11am that had switched to a southerly wind at 10 knots, and the temp jumped to 29°c.

    So what is causing this one day heatwave? Just wind direction and a very hot europe?

    To be honest i'd prefer if it never got this hot and bodes bad for europe over all

    The predictions on here were that the national record was unlikely to be broken, but that some county/station records could be in trouble. This was clear to anyone following the thread.

    Well, Dublin Airport set a new record, so the posters on here have been accurate. You must agree on well done to them.

    Hottest temperatures are generally recorded by later in the day than by 12pm. During last heatwave, the peak fell around 5 or 6pm. Anything could happen over the coming hours

    big dark bank of cloud now to my south over Dublin and it's expanding. This is definitely limiting the great strides we had earlier on.

    It hit 30 on my garden (shade) thermostat a while ago. Dublin 16. But the wind has just picked up and blowing a lovely gust thru my home office which is at 29.2.

    I was in Las Vegas on this day in 2009 when the temperature hit 45 degrees, thought I was melting.

    Some high cloud around south Laois now, the breeze is back and temperatures are back down to around 26c after getting slightly over 27c earlier. Averaging 10mph to 12mph. Hard to see 30c here this afternoon if the breeze keeps up. In addition, there is significant high cloud making a beeline for the south coast following that arc over SE and E Ireland.

    I don't think we're going to do it, this is getting too messy now with clouds, breezes and showers. We needed the skies to stay totally clear over all of Leinster for the record to be reached or broken.

    clock midday isn’t solar midday in summer. That’s about 1:26pm in Dublin. In any case as long as the sun is shining energy is being added to the system. Hours of heating left.
