    If we had a more unstable airmass today (but still with the sun and warmth), there could have been some very interesting weather in the Dublin area with all that wind convergence.

    Both Phoenix Park and Mount Dillon are reporting 23° at 14:00. Some cloud has built up recently (I'm on the other side of the Shannon, in neighbouring Longford).

    24° (rounded) now at Phoenix Park. Still scope for it to reach 25° but I think 24° (rounded) will likely be as high as it gets. Happy to be wrong though.

    Stunning day here in Dublin, nicest day of the year so far. Great to be out in a t-shirt. We have waited long enough for a warm spell. 24 degrees now at phoenix park

    problem is those clouds remain stationary for long periods, mostly blue sky here but not much sunshine, the sun has been behind the same cloud all day it seems.

    23C here in Meath today, a fantastic temperature for May and something we rarely achieve until June. The fact that this was not a direct easterly has helped things alot!

    This is what I wish the whole summer was like. With a few night time showers every couple of days. Perfect.

    Mount Dillon 24° at 17:00…….higher temperatures later in the day are fairly common here on sunny days during the warmer months as it is located in a bog so there's loads of dark ground to absorb the heat through the day. Was recently 24° at my location just under 20km east of Mount Dillon and it's a lovely evening altogether with that breeze that is actually warm, like when you're on holidays. Humidity is low too so it just feels nice…….I wouldn't mind it another 5 - 8° warmer though :-)

    21 to 23C possible again tomorrow.

    Possibly warmer again on Sunday in eastern areas but turning more unsettled from the west with a big temperature drop following closely behind.

    A 10 to 12C temperature drop by Monday.

    The whole country will easily have a show tonight, or at least a show that the phones will pick up nicely.


    KP8 you’ll see Aurora in the likes of Austria and Slovenia or even further south.

    Just need clear skies to hold up AND key parameters to do their thing when it actually gets dark. Midnight onwards for viewing.

    Extreme G4 geomagnetic storm conditions observed in past 2-3 hours and current NOAA auroral forecast indicates Ireland and Scotland will see major aurora borealis conditions where skies are clear tonight. Peak time likely to be soon, 2300h to 0300h local.
