Met Eireann Stats for Great Spell

From Friday May 29th through to Tuesday June 2nd, the maximum daytime temperatures rose steadily on each successive day, with the highest values achieved on the afternoon of Tuesday June 2nd. Sharing top spot were Claremorris Co Mayo and Birr Co Offaly, both of which saw the temperatures touch 27.5 degrees Celsius. The 27 degree target was also reached in Mountdillon Co Roscommon (27.1o) and Newport Co Mayo (27.0o). Temperatures of 26 degrees or greater were recorded across a wide swathe of the country, from Caherciveen in the southwest to Ballyhaise in Co Cavan.

These temperatures are higher than any recorded across Ireland during the 2007 and 2008; we have to go back to 2006 to find comparable weather, when temperatures topped 30 degrees in a few stations during July of that year.

In terms of June temperatures, the figure of 27.5 degrees represents the highest value achieved in both Birr and Claremorris in 14 years; in 1995 June values of 29.7 (Birr) and 29.0 (Claremorris) were recorded. The all time record June temperatures for both stations were set in 1976 when temperatures reached 31.2o and 29.8o respectively.

The other outstanding feature of the weather over the June weekend was the sunshine, with many stations recording between 14 and 15 hours of direct sunlight on June 1st and June 2nd in particular. However the longest duration of daily sunshine through the period was recorded in Knock airport on Wednesday 3rd - at 15.7 hours this represents the sunniest day recorded in Knock in its 13 years of weather measurement. Two stations recorded 15.5 hours; Cork Airport (Monday and Tuesday) and Caherciveen (Tuesday). Because the summer solstice falls in June the records for bright sunshine for almost all weather stations fall in this month; the exception is Rosslare whose sunniest day was in July 1971.

Warm weather to continue till Midweek

The current hot spell we are enjoying here in Ireland is going to last until next Wednesday and after this it gets a lot cooler but at least it should stay dry. Temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday will continue to be 23 or 24c so it will be tough looking out the window of work at it but after this it will be cooler as a more northerly element enters the wind. The High Pressure moves to the Northwest and then towards the end of the week a thundery trough will move up over Ireland from the Bay of Biscay. What happens after this will have a major bearing on how our Summer will turn out.

The warmth is coming

The warm weather of the Summer is arriving for the Bank holiday weekend or so were told. I will be very disappointed if it does not occur in some way shape or form. The temperature should be 22c and there should be a Southeast wind blowing that will turn Easterly later in the weekend meaning dry winds and a lot of benefits for that sodden ground in your garden.

How to survive the recession.

There are numerous ways to survive during a recession.



1. When you have a job save for that rainy day and dont be spending like a mad thing.



2. Keep applying for jobs so that applying for jobs is your job so much so that when those important interviews do come up you will be a dab hand at it.



3. Be flexible and look out for new avenues and ways of making money. They exist everywhere and while some of them may seem desperate they may just work in the short term and any money is good money.



4. Recruitment agencies, papers, Ads, TV, Radio keep your eyes peeled for all of their ads everywhere. Youll be surprised at what eventually falls into your lap and you may even laugh at it some day.



5. Never give up hope because without hope there are no jobs.



6. Lastly remember to have a laugh every now and again and to stay happy because potential employers like people who are smart bright and happy.
