Mildy goodness

    An outlet for those looking for a mild February and an even milder spring. Post your mild charts here and talk up the mild :D

    I've enjoyed this milder winter. I can pop around to the shops without preparing for a trek, rely on public transport (for the most part) and not get rocks disguised as snowballs flung at me.

    On a less selfish note this (so far) mild winter is much appreciated by the Irish economy which really didn't need the country half shutdown for a month!

    With forecasts showing around 8-10C generally the mildy goodness is in full swing. Cold threatens soon after going into next week but I give you these deep FI charts to banish unpleasant thoughts of a cold dig in. Even if it is FI.....

    I love it! Its like having seperate love and hate threads for marmite.

    Anyway so mild weather...................

    The child in me wants the flaky stuff, i have to go back to the snow hope (im thinking that at this stage!)

    There is a lot to be said for mild weather. We need a few frosts to kill off bugs, but the lack of transport disruption and the lack of need to have the heating on all day is a big boon when the economy is struggling.

    Snow is pretty every 5 years or so, otherwise it's just annoying.

    ECM gives us an active atlantic towards the end of the run. Better than the GFS.

    My only fear is that this westerly will still be with us in May and we won't have a summer (again) otherwise I've "enjoyed" this mild winter and the lack of large heating bills. As I type the sun is out its a bit windy but also mild and the grass is pretty much ready to cut (that's not such a good thing about mild winters :p )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Don't worry about the cold weekend people as this GFS/ECM mix promises better :)

    Bring the heatwave on! Happy days! :D

    MT:
    "WEDNESDAY ... This may be a very mild day especially away from the west coast which could stay overcast and foggy in places (10-12 C there, but as high as 13-15 C further east). Rain may be intermittent in the north but some sun could break through in the south and east. "


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,760 ✭✭✭Birdnuts


    Well apart from about 12 hours of slightly chilly weather over the weekend its mild all the way out to the end of the month - surely that will make this winter one of the mildest ever??. The AH has certainly returned with a vengence this year - indeed it appears to be slightly displaced and has anchored itself just to our SW and over the BoB for months now. My main concern from this point is that after such a long run of makedly above averge temps - things will invariably balance themselves out at some stage. Hopefully this won't mean yet another sub par summer but the longer this set-up continues the more fearfull I will become on that score:(

    +1 I love the warmth, But i hate it when it's accompanied by rain and wind. Too warm to wear a jacket and too rainy too leave it off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    That mild wind is a lovely breadth of fresh air. They used to send Chernobyl kids here for the air, we should be proud of our mild humanitarian weather! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭200motels


    How anyone can like this mild muck we're having at the moment is beyond me. I've a feeling we're going to have this crap weather for the next few weeks.:mad:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,129 ✭✭✭Wild Bill


    Very mild and dry today despite it being very cloudy; even milder tomorrow they say.

    14.6 this afternoon; hasn't dropped below 11c last 24 hours.

    We had much colder and wetter days last July! :D

    The young sycamore's are in leaf - mid Feb - that's a record.

    i spent more on heating and fire wood juring last summer than i did this winter:rolleyes:

    Better than crappy snow!! If you don't like it, perhaps emigrate to a cold country? ;) Ireland has only had a minority of snow covered winters in her history, what did you expect?

    Anyway, i've saved a packet on heating bills and today is tshirt weather, tis great! :D

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    Should I try to cheer everyone up with my (admittedly bone generated) prediction that I will see a second 1976 this summer....and that I might have to start the drought thread in April. :D

    Go for it! In fact the drought has already started...so it needs a thread.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25,234 ✭✭✭✭Sponge Bob


    Hasn't started where I am Bill so I couldn't possibly start a drought thread at this time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,452 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland


    18 degrees when i left liverpool yesterday afternoon, about 5 at knock airport when i landed (or at least it felt like it)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    Mild is good, gets you ready for the extremes. Come on March heat wave, 'dew can do it' :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu

    It only got to 15 C at Liverpool yesterday, and it was 11 C at Knock around 5 pm. Windchill may have been 5 though

    Well, we got 3.4mm rain this morning so maybe it has stopped here :(

    But, seriously Sponge, was there ever a drought where you are? :D

    NO , no march heatwave I want our seasons back! For about the last two years or so the seasons have been completely messed up, cold summer 2010,hot spring 2010, super cold autumn and start of winter 2010 then very mild rest of winter 2011, then very hot spring 2011, then very cold summer 2011, super hot autumn 2011, unusually warm winter 2011/ 2012 and then another very hot spring will continue the cycle of crazy seasons:pHow about we save up the heatwave for the actual summer months, we dont want another last year fiasco, where we got a very very hot march april heatwave and then one of the coldest,dullest most miserable summers in living memory:pac: Lets hope we dont get a summer as bad as that again, god knows we deserve it after this horribly mild boring winter:( Though the past few days in dublin have been really nice,sunny and warm, very springlike:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 526 ✭✭✭To Alcohol


    Nice stretch in the evenings weather mild but in no way warm. Half decent early spring weather is the best way to describe it. If we get another summer like last year this year I'm heading to Australia for the winter.

    A quiet weather forum is usually good news for mild lovers like myself. May it continue unless theres a good storm!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,015 ✭✭✭John.Icy


    Some really nice days recently, today included (Till it started raining 20 minutes ago!). Just feels very nice out even if tempertures arn't anything amazing, but hit 15 degree's on Thursday and with very little wind, it felt fantastic!

    So another good april maybe this year? I hope so. One thing is for sure, I dont expect an amazing summer like some people on here do every year. People seem to have clouded judgement when it comes to hot summers and Ireland. 95/03/06 seem to have some thinking Ireland is guarenteed amazing summers every year, and then they never stop complaining when it rains! We've been extremely close to a spanish plume the last two years, and I dont know how many more times I can watch wimbledon with the commentators saying it's 30 degree's! :D


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 16,961 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    lets hope the change starts this summer because i think we all need a break here after the worst winter I can ever remember and a countless run of cold & wet summers. I think at this stage were in need of a decent summer more so than a cold winter.

    I'd take either!

    But five poxy summers in a row during a period with two of the coldest winters in a century is Little Ice Age stuff - despite this mild winter.

    So who knows what's ahead? :eek::eek::eek:

    8 degrees and misty here in waterford at the moment

    if this is what passes for mildy goodness, I'll take cold and sunny any day!


  • Registered Users Posts: 769 ✭✭✭davidsr20


    Anyone notice how quiets boards weather is gone lately, just goes to show were just all winter followers :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Think everyone's still here but there's only so much people can bother talking about miserable greyness. It'll hopefully liven up once convection kicks off over land again, we're well overdue some good thunderstorms after getting close to nothing over the past few years

    On the current weather, it hasn't been noticeably mild here at all, high today of only 10.7C with plenty of mist and drizzle keeping things nice and miserable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    hideous day! **** off quiet weather!
