Hot Spell - Saturday 16th July onwards

Cloudy & breezy this morning in cork city. Sun is trying to come through though. Some difference in temps compared to yesterday morning

Beautiful sunny morning in Dublin, lovely and warm (22 degrees)

I know in past hot weather and cold spells, Met Eireann have in their TV bulletins cited highest and lowest temps from climatological stations other than the offical stations they report hourly readings for in their websites. For example, Ardfert in Kerry had the hottest temp one summer IIRC or Straide in Mayo (which had the famous 2010 lowest temp of -17.5C) . Is it possible we could get a higher temp reported at one of the climatological stations than what was reached in Phoenix Park yesterday and it just is awaiting validation?

Lads, somebody posted a map yesterday with the record temp for each county written into it - but it was out of focus and illegible. Does anyone have a legible version / something similar? In truth though I am particularly looking for Corks record. I think Moore Parks 29.2c yesterday might be there or there abouts as I think that's not a very old station (I.e. not many historical records) and the other Cork stations are uniquely positioned to find the coldest summer temps - Cork airport in an isolated location up a hill at over 150m, Sherkin being an island off the sw and Roches Point being a headland on the se coast.

Id take yesterday over our usual Dummer if that was the choice. But today's temps are the goldi locks for me. Beautiful in D24 today but still slightly fresh air, where as this tome yesterday was already oppressive.

Lovely day in Dublin 8...nice heat and hazy skies snd not a puff of wind. I'm hoping this will be the 4th day in a row that I've had breakfast (already done), lunch and dinner outside in the garden

Warning -

Warm weather in Summer alert ....

Such over reactions about a few warm days ffs - just enjoy it ....🙄

Cloudy, damp, cold day here, rest of the weeks is muck. west mayo.

I lived in Nordic’s for years and they are close neighbours with differing climates and yet you never see them covering each other’s climates etc in media. Just find it strange

landmass of nordic country is vast, compared to uk to ireland. thats why.

They are near neighbours where like ourselves climate of one effects the other, don’t really see the difference but anyway each to their own. I just know they don’t seem to show any interest like we seem to about UK. Denmark and Sweden right across the water from each other like Ireland is to Wales etc

your wondering why a media organisation based in a city that was once the second city of the empire that ruled us, is covering UK news.

I think we all know why, because we are still to some degree pysologically tied to them.

Anyways RTE are full of anglo irish west brits.

get over it, were lumped in with them.
