Absolutely stunning picture.

Danno · 11-08-2022 10:52am

Getting close to 25c in south Laois now, almost an hour sooner than yesterday!

Not a hint of a breeze here, not a cloud in the sky and no haze whatsoever. Humidity already sub 60%, glorious.

FlubberJones · 11-08-2022 11:08am

Slight breeze in Loughlinstown at the moment but it's appreciated, working from home and the window open I'm happy to see

pad199207 · 11-08-2022 11:12am

Already 26°c in Kildare with 46% humidity

Slashermcguirk · 11-08-2022 11:15am

Oak park, Phoenix park and Dublin airport 25 degrees at 11am

Danno · 11-08-2022 11:19am

Getting up towards 26c now in south Laois. Almost 90 minutes sooner than yesterday.

That's a third day on the trot above 25c - two more for official heatwave status.

Sligo is lovely. We rarely have to travel anywhere coz everything we want is here scenery n beauty wise. Plus there doesn't be the throngs that are in Leinster and Munster so you get space.

Weather in West is 6c less than East today so if it hits 30c in Carlow we'll get 24c. Yesterday at beach it was 22c in middle of day but was 18c by 5pm. Mullaghmore gets more shelter because it faces a different direction than Rosses Pt. Currently 18c at beach. For heat 12 to 5 will be over 20c then dropping away quick again. But today is the last day that happens coz from tomorrow it gets much more humid so evenings will be 20c at least.

Very light sea breeze keeping temperatures pegged back to 24C in Loughlinstown but its azure blue skies again, amazing weather.

Went for a run before work as i nearly died earlier this week in the heat after work, never seen so many people up and about in the lovely cool early morning air. A summer to remember for sure.

200motels · 11-08-2022 11:49am

25.6C here in Waterford City or 78.1 F if you're old-fashioned like me. And that's at 11.49 AM.

Now ~~27.1c~~ 27.2c in Durrow - not even midday! 😮 It was 1.15pm yesterday before we got this warm.

Humidity is dropping as fast as the temperatures are rising, high 40%s.

pad199207 · 11-08-2022 12:06pm

27.4c in Kildare at midday but a NEly breeze has set in so could cap the temperature

Meteorite58 · 11-08-2022 12:07pm

Steady climb here this morning near the coast in Kerry , from a low of 11.1C with a heavy dew now reached 23.6C.

pad199207 · 11-08-2022 12:15pm

27°c at Oak Park midday

JCX BXC · 11-08-2022 12:19pm

27°c in Oak Park at midday. Impressive.

Ah I was beaten to it.

Slashermcguirk · 11-08-2022 12:22pm

27 at oak park at 12pm, Dub stations at 26

DOCARCH · 11-08-2022 12:23pm

All the Dublin stations at 26c at 1200. I see the E/sea breeze has kicked in for Dublin.

Warmer than Seville!

highdef · 11-08-2022 12:27pm

HARMONIE model is showing a maximum of 30° today and a maximum of 32° tomorrow, inland SE (Carlow vicinity) in both cases. Met Eireann may begin to mention more frequently that the all time record of 31.5° for August could be broken tomorrow. HARMONIE only goes out 48 hours

UKMO going for a max of 29° for today and 30° for both tomorrow and Saturday.

Several models are showing that Saturday will have more widespread very high temperatures than tomorrow so it'll be interesting what HARMONIE makes of Saturday, when it comes within its timeframe.

Seeing as we already have an official 27° at noon would lead me to believe that HARMONIE is likely to be the most accurate in the short term.

sryanbruen · 11-08-2022 12:29pm

Found this stat amusing.. 25.8C at Dublin Apt at midday is its highest August temp since 1995.

Was speaking to Met Eireann a few minutes ago and again last night, I've been encouraged to keep a close eye and report maxes in the evenings. I get a sense they feel August record is under threat.
