      Christmas Eve 2024 is now the warmest on record for Northern Ireland after the country experienced exceptionally mild conditions – with a similar theme expected tomorrow.
      On Tuesday afternoon, temperatures provisionally reached 14.3C at Magilligan on the north coast.

      This surpasses the previous record of 13.9C in Armagh which was recorded in 1942 – 82 years ago.

      The average temperature for Christmas Eve in Northern Ireland is typically around 7.5C.

      The warmest Christmas Day on record for Northern Ireland was in Belfast in 2016, when a temperature of 14.8C was recorded.

      Although thermometers are not expected to climb that high this year, temperatures will not be far off that, with highs around 13C expected.

      I was out surfing in North East England yesterday. Air temperature was 14 degrees at midday. It felt very much abnormal for Christmas Eve.

      I was up the mountains in summer running kit, didn’t even need gloves. Compare to Sunday, all the layers on and was still chilly. Wild

      I was sweating my balls off at 1am rooting around the attic for presents. Normal it would be freezing up there this time of year.

      We usually have a fire on Christmas eve but we didn’t bother as it was just too warm.

      It feels as though the seasons are shifting a bit.

      December is usually a lot colder, and January has been the coldest months I’ve found. So far, this is as if we’ve skipped winter and are heading back into spring.

      So 82 years ago, temperatures were around the same point as they are now

      I wonder if they had green taxes then as well 🤔

      Dad has the heating on all night which would normally be cozy but we were all roasting and begged him to turn it off.
