A few power outages in Carlow Town at present. Source

A warm evening with a nice sunset that filled the sky with a red tint after a high of 21.6c at my station but just 0.5mm as most of the rain went north and south of us. Tomorrow will be a little fresher with temps back around 19c in a strong Westerly breeze and a […]

Still 18.8c at 9pm tonight but it was a dry day apart from some drizzle early this morning. Tomorrow will be mild too but damp with some drizzle and light rain on and off in a strong breeze. Thursday will be cooler around 18c but still breezy with some showers. Friday will be back up […]

A cloudy start with some drizzle about but a mainly dry day ahead with some sunny spells developing later in the Southeast and up to 23c in a strong Westerly breeze. Tomorrow will see some rainfall approach the Southwest and move East but the exact track is unclear with some weather models showing heavy rain […]

Only up to 17.8c so far today but feeling warmer with the high humidity. A strange looking digger on water in the Barrow next to Carlow Town Park this lunchtime. Update: The machine is just helping to remove some overhanging trees on the island in the Barrow. Source

Cloud cover is going to be hit and miss for this tonight but we might get lucky with some breaks in the cloud. Tonight is the night! The #Perseids meteor shower, caused by debris left behind by the Comet Swift-Tuttle, peaks overnight tonight! Get outside to watch with your own eyes or tune into our […]

Up to 20.9c at my station now with humidity at 76% and a light shower has brought the total since midnight to 0.8mm. Shower blowing over me now on Wicklow mountains at the source of the River Slaney between Slievemaan and Lugnaquilla. That little stream is the start of the Slaney! Source

A mild night with my station showing 17.6c at 23:00 which is 10c warmer than the same time last night! Valentia in Kerry saw 13mm of rain today but my station only recorded 1.3mm which won’t do much to help the water shortages. Tomorrow will be a better day with calmer winds and some sunny […]
