Kerry records warmest day of 2025

The warmest temperature of 2025 to date on the island of Ireland was recorded at Valentia Observatory in Kerry on Tuesday afternoon

The Met Éireann synoptic station registered 22°C at 2.00 p.m.

The previous highest temp (21.9°C) was recorded on April 9th at Newport Furnace in Mayo.

The record warm temperature for April is held by Glenties in Donegal, which registered 25.8°C in 1984.

Ireland is entering a prolonged period of dry weather, with temperatures peaking in the low 20s Celsius between Tuesday and Thursday.

The development follows a mixed April, which began with warm and dry conditions before shifting to a wetter pattern over the past 10 days. Most parts of the country experienced above-average rainfall during this time, with the exception of the far north.

A high-pressure system is set to dominate over the next 10 days, bringing settled and largely dry conditions. Rainfall totals are expected to remain below average, while temperatures are likely to remain above seasonal norms.
