Won't happen here, it's too hazy.

now 10.8C and falling.

Kilkenny won't have reached 19C. Quite possibly something like 17.6C rounded to 18C for the 15z reading.

At 16z, plenty of 17s across country.

falling here too from the spectactular heighs of 12c (briefly)

Now 10.9c

Incidently I was almost as cold as artictree up in roundwood last night.
The min here was 0.8c with a massive white ground frost.

Mothman You had your usual frost pocket sub zero ness of course

Incidently did you have much ice at -1.3c?

Yep starting to fall away here too.12.4c
Max of 15.7c thats 1.3c lower than yesterdays high.

I might add in case it wasn't noticed I was being sarcastic regarding my spectacular high...

Dub airport peaked at 16c at 2pm

heres the half-hourly stats

Casement is practically the same with a 2c drop when they got the weak sea breeze at 3pm

The place was white before sun got going. It was sub zero for 4 1/2 hours.

No ice as such, just frost on the ground.

Kilkenny still reporting 17c at 6pm

Contrails left from aeroplanes are clearly visible from the visible shot over Ireland and Europe.

Gorgeous Good Friday..

Sun and no breeze yet meaning the temp is steadily reaching the teens

Temp here is an absolutely fabulous* 10.1c in a 7mph NE breeze

*2 things: Thats probably not spelt right and it is sarcasm

ninebeanrows

The Outlook for the medium term is for a continuation of High Pressure dominated weather..

Could this be the start of a everlasting Summer may i ask?

It's my LC year so the answer is YES :rolleyes:

Oh quit whining,at least its not raining.:) Enjoy the sun while it lasts wheather it is cool or warm.

Supercell

Just back from a long hike in the mountains.

Superb views, my feet need amputation and I got a very sunburned noggin.
Yep, summers on the way

I'm not moaning at all just sarcasming

High so far has been an absolutely brilliant 10.6c

Wind due east 6mph which isn't enough really to cause the cold and kilkenny is a whole 6c warmer...

The sun is absolutely lovely though-that bit is not sarcasm.

Trogdor

I know it's nice outside and i'm not complaining but i just had a look back through my records so far this year and this "warm" weather isn't that warm at all here anyway. My highest temp in this spell has been 13.7C yesterday that currently ranks as 9th highest this year, not that great;).

9. 5th April 13.7C

8. 12th Jan 13.9C

7. 9th Jan 14.0C

6. 3rd Jan 14.1C

5. 8th Jan 14.2C

4. 14th March 14.9C

1. 10th March 17.1C

More to it than just temperatures. To be honest , anyone right by the coast is always going to have low temperatures at this time of year if the breeze is off the sea.

Go inland only a few miles its warm and sunny. And believe me, the sun can burn already, my head is testimount to that today.
I was sat on top of a mountain today and it was warm(ish) and sunny, not often you can say that!
14°C in January would be totally different conditions to what we have had the last week.
No complaints at all here so far (apart from blisters on my feet and the skin on my head feeling like its being pulled apart by midgets with hot hands!)

Snowbie

13.4c maxed out here so far.Just back from malahide castle and it was pleasant.T-shirt temps alright far from a scorcher but perfect nonetheless.
I say there is a 2c temp difference from where im located and where WC is near enough on the coast line.

13c atm.

Beautiful run from the 12z GFS. Very nice flow indeed. Temperatures into the 20's in some parts if we end up with a situation like this:

Maybe for the west, looks like fog on the east and south coastal areas.

darkman2

You would have the sea breeze anyway so temps never going to be high in the East in that type of flow. Very pleasant further west though:

What's a sea breeze ? , don't get them here

Yep agreed, however warm moist air from a southern source over cool seas, not the same as the current cool dry air over cool seas.

West will definitely be best if those charts come off.

Snowbie

By sunday a more predominant westerly wind will take shape over the country combating the sea breeze a bit.Will get a tad warmer here in the east for us lowlander coastal dwellers.Whatever about next week the convective month will show its fury sometime soon.

Gorse fires are becoming a big problem around the country, todays irish times has two articles on it on page2.
Here's a small report about one in Galway:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2007/0406/galway.html
The ground has really dried out with no rain for 2 weeks now.
