I'd like to see you come up with a guess and a reason for that temp. I'll reveal it at 8 pm (ET).
Weird post. It happened on July 18th.

If Rojo returns to the thread, I'd be very interested in knowing the source from which he got this factoid, presuming it was disseminated recently.
The subliminal subtext seems to be "global warming - not that bad" coming out a couple of weeks after the memory of a pretty remarkable heat wave in the UK has faded, and I suspect this is intentional messaging originating from some invested party.

Can we Google?
I'd say 42 degrees Centigrade.

Ireland has provisionally recorded its hottest day for 135 years with a reading of 33.1 (91.58F) degrees reported at the Phoenix Park, where observations first began in 1831.
If confirmed, this is the second highest temperature recorded in Ireland, surpassed only by the 33.3 (91.98F) degrees recorded at Kilkenny Castle on June 26th, 1887.
Those are two different locations.
A castle would store heat much better than a park would.Wow.
Only 91 or 92 degrees

As long as the subtext to this thread isn't, "Oh, that's not too hot. Climate change isn't that bad." (which seems to be the case in right wing circles the past week over news like this), then this is a fun thread.

To be honest, since 1831 isn't that long to make a claim about this as being unusual. What about all those years before then? What were the temperatures like when Irish monks were travelling northwards to spread the gospel and set up monasteries, when the seas were calmer, and the temperatures warm enough to grow oats and barley and raise cattle without modern farming methods in parts of the world where this is no longer possible because its too cold nowadays?

To put it into perspective, Dublin is closer to the arctic circle in terms of latitude than Denver.

WOW. As I nearly fell off my chair. Man that is hot. That is Africa hot. I don't usually watch the weather channel as my TVs are set to the cartoon channel and as I really don't have the energy to ever try to find the remote as it is usually time for my hourly nap but wow that is hot but not as hot as in Texas where I lived for a little while before I decided that I wanted to live in a good state as Baltimore is better than Texas but even in Baltimore I think that it gets hotter than in Ireland as they don't usually get very hot in Ireland but as it is hot there now.

I'm in England. I loved it. But it was way overhyped as an emergency. We had dew points way below what you guys have.

I read the headline and went to google to check it out. Then I saw what Rojo wrote above. I shall therefore excuse myself from commenting on the all time high for Ireland.

TBH Ireland has great weather. Barely gets to freezing in the winter, almost never gets above 90 in summer.

The record high temperature in Honolulu is only 95F. Even on the big island, the record high is only 100F. Islands, even in the tropics, don't get that hot due to the modifying effects of the ocean.

One thing that helps me sleep at night is the fact I have Irish citizenship available to me. When this country is run into the craphole by hillbillys and authoritarian "Christian patriots" or when climate change comes even faster that it already is...yeah, I have an out. Good luck.
Ireland is a shi thole. Westminster should cut northern Ireland loose and let Biden the dumb mf sort it out.
