http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090529/sc_af...ogyvolcanoquake A massive underwater mountain discovered off the Indonesian island of Sumatra could be a volcano with potentially catastrophic power, a scientist said Friday. "It looks like a volcano because of its conical shape but it might not be. We have to conduct further investigations,". Just spotted this, could be a Volcano so thought I'd add it in here. Didn't think something that size could go unnoticed for so long...

Very nice day, blue skies for the most part with things just starting to cloud over now. Maximum today of 17.9C so no 20C yet! Currently 16.4C after an overnight low of 4.9C Air pressure 1020.1hPa Wind about 10km/h and South Westerly

15.8C here RH 66% Wind 11km/h South Westerly Completely blue skies

19.5C is my highest so far, that was yesterday. There's a small chance of beating it tomorrow but tis more likely to be late next week. Only managed 15.4C today

Got my La Crosse WS2300 at christmas and since then have been using the Heavy Weather program for display and storing files. Recently I decided to have a try for some other display program with a few more features and came across this one http://www.weather-display.com/index.php anyone else got it? It seemed quite good and the trial program was going good but I can't work out how to transfer the info that the weather station collects during the week onto the program when I'm back at the weekends. Anyone else use this program and know how to do it?

Sleet is being reported in Johnstown Castle in Wexford, 8C there...

I'll go for 8.0C methinks

15.7C at 1:56pm on 11th this month.

Snowing very heavy here for about 15 minutes now. Temperatures down to 1.5C from 5C earlier on. Slowly lodging on grass :wub: I see blue skies in the distance though...

I sort of knew it wasn't a classic fohn, I just thought it might have been a slightly lesser version. There isn't any weather stations that display much public info within about 80km of my house so that can be something of a hinderence. My weather station is set to take just hourly readings so I can't check for subtle wind direction changes. The mountains to the north are a similar distance away, over 50km long and are over 1000m high so I'm probably more likely to get a better effect from them. They're some nice photos there alright, will definitely have a look out for that kinda thing if I can. Is it still possible to get a fohn in the summer? I'm in college 5 days a week so am only able to have a look out during the weekends. Next summer though I'm hoping to do my dissertation on the effect of the mountains on the weather where I live

Just checked back over the data for earlier and during the time the temperature was higher, humidity had dropped from 94% to around 78% before going back up to around 90% when temps levelled off again. Dunno if that counts as a significant drop though. From what I can remember, skies were partly clear though I wasn't checking much. The highest the temperature got up to was 15.4C.

Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to find a free topographic map but the mountains to the south west are just over 2000ft and just a few miles from my house. I have an anemometer on the shed roof and would use Cork or Shannon as the nearest station. Temperature is down to 12.7C so more inline with the rest of the country.

I've had my La Crosse weather station since Christmas and the temperature has always been close to the relatively local met stations. At the moment though, it's reading 15.3C when the highest anywhere else the Ireland is 12C. I live in a something of a valley though with foot of the Knockmealdowns to the South West and Galtees a similar distance to the north, and with the wind being South Westerly at the moment, could the high temperatures be something of a local Fohn effect?

6.1 for me please

Thanks for all the updates Any idea when the last time the sun was this quiet?
