Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

That's a forecast, not live temps. Kilkenny Greenshill automatic climate station got to 27.6C at 15:41.

Oh Navan climate station on 28.9C!

Where is that, is at Tara mines, is it official. I'm just too excited now

Yes it is official, I never reference PWS unless in exceptional circumstances such as maybe snow. It is indeed at Tara Mines.

Awaits to be seen if there was no artificial influence or even a higher value within the hour as the value I've quoted was the 1600 temp.

28c also in castelderg according to met Office ,westmeath and carlow also 28c,unbelievable temperatures, I'm so annoyed because if this were July we'd be having 35c easily 😑, I just want our all time record smashed here's hoping for next summer

You won't need it!!

I’ve asked them about updating the record (32.1C at Durrow in August 2022) which they’re still quality checking so they said. Odd they don’t even give the Oak Park value though.

Then again, it took ‘em 3 years of me hounding them to update the May sunshine total record to 2020..

well it feels every bit of that temperature here in Navan today! 😅

A slight onshore developed this afternoon for Dublin capping the temperatures here at casement

It has been unbelievable Gonzo, so easy every evening picking out kids clothes for next day shorts and tshirts for them and summer dresses for me.

No need to worry about coats, layers, rain gear etc like I spent most of summer doing!

Everyone in great form.

There are a few minor downside though, kids unfortunately are in school which is very unfair after a dreadful summer.

It dark by 8pm so no relaxing in back garden until 10pm like in summer(although not a chance of that this year in July.

Finally I have 8 bites on my legs over last 3 days from bites, mainly mozzies, yes we do have them in Ireland, don't usually get bites like that here but heat late in Sept must be suiting them.

I'd still take weeks and weeks more of this weather though!

Got to 26.5c in Sligo town today. Not bad at all though I think yesterday was 26.9c when I take the 1.3c that I recalibrate. The other days were all 24c. Even June wasn't hot that many days in a row. They were mostly 22c then.
