Driving in Laois earlier, definitely one of the most rarest of signposts I've ever seen in Ireland! #Squirrels #Ireland #RoadSign

Check out this cool view of the solar eclipse via satellite passing down through Iceland, Ireland and Spain this evening. You will notice how it goes dark as the eclipse take places. #weather #ireland #eclipse #solareclipse #iceland #spain

Grass is really suffering, not much nutritious food for those cattle in @DurrowLaois Ireland

Well done @MayoGAA

Total rainfall for July so far is just 0.6mm.

It's a hot one in @DurrowLaois with 30.3⁰C recorded so far today. If verified, it means May, June and July will all have recorded 30⁰C+ this year so far. The #heatwave of 2026 is fast becoming a memorable one.

Sun finally getting going across Laois. It will warm up rapidly over the next couple of hours. Max yesterday 29.4⁰C, perhaps not as high today, but still very warm later.

This is one hell of a +ve AAM surge. Note the renewed pool of negative anomalies now working poleward, this could be heatwave number 4, add in the usual lag and you’re looking at around the 21st-25th July. As these anomalies propgate poleward they work to amplify subtropical ridges i.e Azores high. This summer is running a real risk of being an absolute classic, the reload of settled / hot weather is already in sight, any relaxation (if any) in this pattern is looking increasingly short lived.

"That IS a shot of lightning!" ⚡️ Some crazy scenes at Gosforth Park... 😳 @NewcastleRaces

Everything in Ireland comes at a price. A five day heatwave, yay! Nature's payback, ugh:

Currently 28.8C at 11.30am. An hour earlier than May 26th, and a whopping two hours earlier than August 13th 2022. We maxed at 30.8C and 32.1C respectively. Interesting day ahead.

Amazing!

Thunderstorms over @DurrowLaois Ireland yesterday evening delivered 33.6mm of rain - pretty much 50% of rainfall we'd expect in an average June. It will be welcomed rain for many considering it was a rather dry May overall. #Thunder

Showery day

Some high level lightning 🌩 over southern Meath

Ominous looking ⛈️

Fennels bay crosshaven

First booms of thunder heard. 28⁰C

Cap of the storm coming in to Wexford visible, just!

Impressive returns!
