Chart below shows mean maxima, high max and the No. of days with temps equal or greater to 22/25/27/30°C at the majority of reporting Met Éireann stations for the month of June to give a greater level of perspective as to the amount of warmth June 2018 had in Ireland.
Shannon Airport recording 25°C or more for 12 days during June 2018 is a new record for the station since its records began in 1939. It must be close to the all-time highest number of 25°C or more days in June for Ireland too. It was Shannon Airport's warmest June on record also as can be shown by its top 5 warmest Junes on record below.
1970: 16.0°C
2009: 15.9°C
2010/1976: 15.8°C
1992/1995: 15.7°C
2016: 15.6°C
June 2018 provisionally: 17.0°C
So June 2018 smashed its previous warmest June of 1970.
