    A lot of high IMT's predicted for the month! Hope I'm not wrong, I forsee daytime temps for most of the month to struggle about 10-12 degrees :P

    Perhaps - but with nighttime temps of 5 degrees that's an ITM of 8C :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    After seven days, these were the numbers ...

    IMT ... 6.8 C

    (min of -1.2 C)

    PRC 71% of normal

    SUN 173% of normal


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


    Yep....so far it's dry, sunny and mild. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    -1.8 C at Dublin early on the 14th to set a new minimum so far.

    Will update the second week stats later today.


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


    Sunshine % will have drooped a bit since a week ago :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    Here is the update for week two ... and it was cloudy alright ...

    IMT ... now on 8.0 C after a week at 9.2 C.

    PRC 39% of normal after a dry week (6% of normal over the eleven stations)

    SUN 99% of normal after a dull week (25% of normal).

    The weather basically stopped happening for about five days, now it resumes a rather sluggish pace.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,336 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    whats the current max temp ?


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


    15.8c at Oak Park on the 9th, I think.


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


    I'd say Deep Easterly with 0.9 hours will score max points on Sunshine in Shannon tomorrow. :)

    I'm sticking with my six hours, we've had 30 minutes already and it's getting better.

    And Limerick is much sunnier than Galway - everybody knows that :rolleyes:
