    Moore Park 30C at 2pm, we may get 32C somwhere today but I think at this stage 33C is definitely off the table.

    I don't have an accurate weather station, but the thermometer outside is reading over 30 in the shade in the sheltered garden. This is likely the hottest day we've had since last year's heatwave in July. The northeast breeze is incredibly warm here today - a very unusual thing.

    All week has been glorious here, the breeze keeping things in the low 20s mostly.

    Not bad for the west coast in August!

    2 pm dewpoints. Distinctly drier in the south midlands. There's a real gap in the network there in the Tipperary area.

    Remarkably low pressure around the country for such good weather. A really slack pressure field.

    Oak Park and Moore Park still 30C at 3pm, not sure we'll get much higher than that as sea breezes are getting quite far inland. We may get 31C somewhere but I don't see us getting much higher than that.

    Thanks, I had it in my head that the anemometer mast would be a pole rather than something like that.

    You can detect a bit of sadness that today probably won't breach 32c. But isn't it amazing how high the bar has gone this week and we have an all time August record.

    1995's was on the second of August. By 12, losing 4 min daylight a day, you have a day 40 min shorter in daylight. So truly remarkable what temps are reached.

    And you're 2 hrs shorter in daylight than 26 June 1887.

    Who knows with Shannon. I'd say still 25/1 to reach 32c🙂

    Durrow AWS (Davis Sensor inside the Stevenson Screen) recorded 31.6c a few minutes ago. Highly plausible 32.0c or more on mercury thermometers. Will verify later.

    Either way, both AWS and mercury records from June 28th 2018 are gone.

    I came home on the bus from town and omg, the sweat was dripping down the back of my neck. It is roasting today! There is a nice breeze though when outside and it’s nice in the shade.

    Two record breaking spells in one summer, I remember 1995 well and I feel this has been a better summer all round, one for the books. Maybe the new normal?, time will tell.

    Its fair to say these very warm interludes are going to become far more common, 2 or 3 a year and maybe longer than a week or 10 days at a time
