    Not much in the way of sun in the NorthWest and 14mm of rain since the drought broke. Tomorrow and Thursday promise 25c again. Could go 28c or 29c in places again. Some models have 33c at end of June others have 20c. Probably between these values. Shannon has had max over 20c for days and is now 17.1c for June average.

    There's still drought conditions in some parts of the country but I can see the charts showing a complete flip to very wet conditions countrywide from Friday. I hope it doesn't get stuck in that mode too long and we find ourselves waiting weeks for more summer weather. We are hard to please !

    We all like this weather, but it is the humidity that we all find difficult, it some how drains you of energy and you feel like you need to sit down or rest.

    We could be in for 2 to 3 weeks of unsettled weather but there are likely to be dry days too particularly in southern and eastern areas where higher pressure will be closer by.

    This unsettled spell looks like western and northern areas will experience most of the rainfall over the coming week with opportunities for thunder and lightning at times also.

    There is scope within the models for this unsettled spell to have a shorter lifespan if we can get a stronger ridge of the azores further north. As for the temperatures current models suggest temperatures will be close to normal from next week, maybe slightly above at times (18 to 22C). Southern and eastern areas could experience temperatures warmer than this at times especially if there are decent spells of sunshine if shower activity fails to get going further east. This does look like the return of the Atlantic to some degree but it's not totally convincing and certainly not the conveyer belt of low pressure that can happen.

    Latest CFS has this unsettled spell lasting barely a week and then we are back to high pressure so will wait and see how the models handle this unsettled turn over the next few days.

    Edit: GFS 6z rolling out now and more in line with the CFS, we go back to high, dry and potentially hot in about 10 days time but with an ongoing risk of volatility at times.

    I actually love when it's really warm and humid. Not so much a fan of cold and humid but around 28 to 32° with high humidity and not a breath of wind is heaven for me.

    Maybe I should have said “so far” then 😜

    And of course I’m somewhat referring to my local area which got affected by those decaying thunderstorms from England the past few days which really scuppered sunshine, temp, and local storm chances.

    I don't have a problem with high humidity either as long as temperatures aren't over 40C. The temperature range I am happiest with is 28 to 39C which doesn't really apply to Ireland but have experienced this range many times along the coast in southern Spain and it is a beautiful temperature range as long as your along the coast with plenty of opportunities to cool off if needed.

    Yeah it's a lovely morning in Galway. The grass is still quite yellow so another few heavy showers would help.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Same here. Like to have the heat and humidity up to a certain level. Around 30c to 32c is the ideal temp for me with dewpoint around 18c to 24c.

    Was staying at Atlantis in Dubai around two weeks ago and being out on the Palm Island the air temp is cooler, but still 35c with a dewpoint of 26c pretty much 24/7. On arrival at the hotel it felt uncomfortable. Right on the edge for me. But we defo got used to it as the trip went on and missed it when we left.

    In the city the temp was often 38c to 43c with dew point in the low twenties. It felt similarly "close" but hotter than the hotel. I felt roughly the same there comfort wise.

    The worst by far was the desert... City temperature on the day was 42c and the desert was another level above that. Stepping out of the jeep the heat was incredibly hot feeling. The breeze increased the heat you felt rather than reducing it. No idea what the dew point was. But you would expect it to be low and therefore less humid naturally. We were one hour's drive inland from the coast. I quickly began to overheat. We drove around on quad bikes and the wind going over your arms and legs was like a hairdryer on the hottest setting. Sweated buckets and buckets by the end and felt physically unwell. Pouring (the free) ice cold bottles of water over my head and body simply didn't cool me down. Felt wiped out the entire rest of the day after we returned to the hotel!

    A glorious summers day in Dublin City centre. A nice breeze and feeing less humid. Currently 20 C but feels a bit warmer than that.

    Long may this weather continue. Atlantic can go to sleep for all of summer for all I care.

    Dundalk reached 29.9C yesterday, almost 30C! The earliest 29C on record in Ireland and the highest June temperature now in Ireland since 29 June 2018.

    23c here in Co.Antrim. Feels very warm but with quite a breeze today, but much clearer skies. Humidity is long gone. NW NI will have the highest readings today given this breeze.

    Apparently a 29c was recorded at Ballywatticock (near Newtownards) yesterday afternoon. It was the same site that recorded the shortly held 31.2c record high temp for NI two years ago, although there were some questions around it's exposure if I recall correctly.

    The Atlantic can go to sleep forever imo, I hate everything about it. It's why we don't get a proper winter and our lack of warmth and sunshine in the summer compared to the rest of Europe.

    Same here in Meath, much fresher than yesterday and much more of a sea breeze. Temperature well down on this time yesterday, currently 20C a 5C drop on yesterday but still feels very pleasant.

    Belfast City 23/5

    City of Derry Airport: 27/9

    That's some pretty dry air over the provence now! 29% RH at Aldergrove for example
