Well June has started like a scorcher this year in Ireland but is it going to last.
Shannon Airport and Newport in Co. Mayo are enjoying the best of the fine spell as the winds come in from a more Easterly source.
This is bringing sea breezes to Dublin but city temperatures are still hovering around the 20c mark down to a cooler 18c at the airport.
24.6c was recorded in Shannon on June 7th and this may prove to be the warmest day of the current spell. June 8th looks particularly warm again but clouds are gathering around the favored West and South coasts so this could result in a boring old 21 or 22c but we cant complain at those temperatures either after the past 6 years we have had (plus 10 months of cold weather nearly).
Of course Europe is not faring nearly as well and Ireland was again hotter than destinations in Germany and Croatia and some parts of Spain and Portugal too.
Longer range weather points to a more unsettled picture but with regular warm intervals. Sothere could be a lot of thundery showers mixed into temperatures and warm sunshine of 20c. Some days will be drier and because of the thundery nature of the showers it will be noticed that on a day one area sees a deluge that another area nearby may just have a sunny fine day.
So alls not bad for now as see start off June on an altogether impressive note, not withstanding the 4.2c minimum reached at Dublin Airport around the 4th of June. Now to try and find some impressive weather photo.
